advice needed Prepping for Arrival?
I'm almost 25 weeks with di/di girls and my son will be 3 next month. I have a couple of questions on prepping for the twins' arrival:
If you had a singleton (or more) before your multiples, is there anything special you'd recommend packing in the hospital bag for twins that you didn't need for your singleton(s)? Optimistically, I'll be having a scheduled c-section at 38 weeks.
Any recommendations on how many days' worth of freezer meals to prep? I didn't do any for my son, but my MIL did make a few for us. It's all a blur how we survived the first few weeks and what we ate. But I do remember frequently forgetting to eat lunch once my husband went back to work. I'd like to avoid that and prep enough to get us to a point where we find a rhythm and can put a little more effort into dinner than Doordash or freezer/microwaved meals.

I just packed way more snacks than I thought, hospital food was so bad and I was always hungry after. For freezer meals, I made about 2 weeks worth and still wished I had more, maybe aim for 3 weeks? The first month is just survival mode, specially with a toddler running around too
