Erin discovered there is a club here in Lexington for parents of multiples, so we attended a meeting to see what it is all about. I think it's going to be a great resource; the parents know about a lot of the issues that seem to face twins, they have an annual yard sale each year where they sell all the good twin-related items (like double strollers and such), and try to put together activities for both the kids and the parents.
During each meeting there is a guest speaker, and at the meeting we attended it happened to a rep. from Smith Barney who was there to talk about college prices. This was probably not the best meeting for us to attend. The estimated cost of tuition for ONE child in the year 2025? One Hundred and Thirty Thousand Dollars. Wha Wha Wha Whaatt? Oh, and this was based on tuition at UK! This wasn't MIT or Stanford (which will probably require all your earthly possessions plus indentured servitude for 7 years). This was especially poignant given that we're HAVING TWINS. I'm viewing into my crystal ball, and I'm seeing...lots of student loans for our rugrats.
In other news, Erin is doing very well, although she swears there are days when she outgrows her clothes during the day. She's at 20 weeks today, so we're over the halfway point and it's all coasting downhill from here. Our next doctor appointment is next week, and we're hearing rumors of regular (say, once every week or two) ultrasounds at around 32 weeks, so that's exciting.

That is why we are going to have our little blobby learn to play the glockenspiel. I heard of someone whose kid got a full ride to Yale because they needed a glockenspiel player. I figure our best bet at fully paid for college involves sports or band.
