Okay...so i found out at 18 weeks that I am expecting twins. I am scared to death...mostly of the money aspect of the whole thing. I have a 2 year old son and we were only especting one. Does any one know where or how to get discounts on things like diapers or strollers? we are a one income family.

We bought our diapers at Sam's club because you can get a ton of diapers for less. You can also sign up at Pampers.com and Huggies.com and they will send you coupons. If you have any friends with babies you can see if they will give you the stuff their kids have grown out of. Our oldest was a girl and then our twins were boy and girl. I had all of the girl stuff I needed and got a lot of the boy stuff from my sister-in-law. Also, my twins shared a crib for a long time. The nurses at the hospital told me they would be more comfortable like that while they were babies. Good luck!
