You are most welcome. Look -

- one of my best friends from adolescence had twins AS A WIDOW - her husband had a sudden heart attack when she was 7 months pregnant. Twin boys, doing well, knock on wood.

- my T had twins at exactly your age - twin boys, doing well, knock on wood.

- a friend of mine has an older daughter (she just graduated from college) who was a single birth and a set of high school age twin girls. The twin girls were born quite prematurely, and my friend decided to stay home with them because they needed extra care. They are doing just fine - they are very petite and look fragile, but in reality they are not fragile - they compete in track meets (the same body traits that make them look petite make them nimble and fast). I have a friend whose twin daughters, now in their 30s (and one of them pregnant) were born as big each as a single birth child, so having twins does not necessarily mean having low birth babies.

And I know people with boy-girl non-identical twins. There are so many twins around that it is the new norm. I think for you this trend means that companies cater to parents of twins so it must be easier to find products than used to be the case when twins were exceptions.
Thanks for this!
