7,300 The average number of diapers twins go through in a year. (Lordy, don't I know it!)
$3,400 The average price of formula that twins consume in a year. (Thank you WIC!)
37 The average week of gestation for a mom expecting twins. (Hooray- I did it!)
35 - 45 The recommended number of pounds women pregnant with twins should gain. (I only gained 25, and was so worried the whole time!)
2 The average age toddler twins give up a second nap! (We let our second nap go when they turned one. Now they are fighting the single nap they still have! But we are holding out. There is NO WAY we are going napless!)

ugh, i'm glad your babies don't have matchy names... i'm not a fan!
ReplyDeletebut i am a fan of twin stats! i'm thinking the number of live twin births has gone way up since 2006... i'm guessing you couldn't find anything more recent though.
good read!
Everywhere I go I see twins, I'm with Roxanne, I think the number most certainly has had to gone up. But lucky me, I get to share in the real stats of those handsome twins of yours, I know I've said this a lot but I really appreciate your blogging about you, Josh and the boys. It makes many gloomy moments at work tolerable.
ReplyDeleteI love your comment about the boys looking a lot alike! I always think that about yours, I can never tell them apart!!! Funny, I guess as a mom you know the small differences:)
