    Hi ladies!
    First of all - good luck - having twins is the BEST - you're going to love it. I thought I'd share something so you don't have the same frustration I have. Don't skimp on your crib sheets. They don't have to be the best - but don't get the cheapest. I have some cheapos and they shrink and are really frustrating to put on the mattresses. Plus - i would get 6 (if you have 2 cribs). They spit up/throw up a lot and you'll be changing them a lot - I thought 4 was enough - but if 2 are in the laundry basket and 2 on the beds - you might run out. So if you always have 2 clean it really helps.

    Congrats to everyone!!! Hope to see you in first year when you deliver - it's been a huge help to me these first few months.
    :) Aimee

    Hi, I actually thought 4 was enough but my mum insisted that we get 6. I guess I wasn't thinking about the constant changes due to the vomiting and the such lol.

    I actually only had 4, but they were the really nice ones that came with our bedding. My boys are 3 1/2 and we are still using them. Definitely spend a little money and get the nicer sheets!

    Aimee, thanks so much for sharing that! I was actually planning on going to buy out the rest of my registry tomorrow so that couldn't have been better timing. Thanks again!

    Where did you get them? Which brand?

    Thanks for sharing!

    Something else we did that helped a lot with our sons is to have a crib pads that sit on top of the sheet. Then, if they spit up or leak or whatever, you can just change the crib pad. It saved me from having to strip the whole crib at 2am many times!!!

    How is bedding quality determined...do they use thread counts? I haven't begun buying anything yet so this is really helpful! Thanks a million!
