Newborn Twins Checklist (Shopping for Twins)

Today I'm answering a reader question from a mommy-to-be about what to buy before her twin babies arrive. "... Do we really need to buy two of everything?" This was the same question Joey and I kept asking ourselves when we were preparing for Audrey and Antonino's arrival. Well, to help out future twin mom C, I've rounded up three of my past posts on shopping for twins / babies:

Just yesterday, Joey and I left the house at midnight to go to the Big Bad Wolf Book Sale, which is touted as the world's biggest book sale, open 24 hours a day. The twins were already asleep then and my mom offered to watch them so we could avoid the huge crowds (Thanks, Ma! We love you!). Our primary purpose was to look for fun and educational board books for the twins. Was the midnight shopping trip worth it? Absolutely! We were able to get 13 books for only P1,860. Here's what we bought:
