 Hi! Congratulations on your soon to be born twins! We
 bought a cosleeper (a pac n play would work too) and
 put that in the living room, and placed Boppy newborn
 loungers on top of the highest level. We let the
 babies sleep/relax in there during the day, then they
 slept together in a crib at night (until we realized
 they had reflux, at which point we had them sleep in
 small swings at night to keep them upright). Hope that
 helps!

 We loved the Moses baskets. We bought the stands, too,
 and used them in the living room during the day - we
 have a dog too! During the night we put the baskets in
 each crib. It's cozier than lying in the great big crib
 and they are swaddled so they aren't rolling into the
 padded sides of the baskets. We had them in moses
 baskets in their cribs for the first three months.

 We used a pack n' play, actually two of them, in
 different rooms during those first few months. One was
 in our bedroom and the other was in the office where
 our doula stayed with the boys on the nights she was
 here. We didn't use the boys' cribs until they were 4
 months old. To reinforce and flatten out the bassinet
 of the pack n plays - and to ease the transition
 between the boys' sleeping places - we bought 2
 snuggle nests at our doula's recommendation and liked
 them. They are now for sale, if you're interested in
 them.We still use the pack n' plays now as a temporary
 holding area when we're going up and down the stairs
 with one kid at a time - our boys are one year old. 
 The pack n' play was also handy as a portable crib when
 my niece was visiting. Congratulations!Jennifer

 We also have a two-story. We went right to the crib at
 night. We have 2 but they are still sharing 1 at 11
 weeks old. Downstairs they shared a bassinet for the
 first 4 weeks or so. Now I use it when I have to put
 one down somewhere safe for a minute but they no longer
 like to sleep in it I think maybe because they cant see
 out the sides. Most invaluable for us were the swings.
 We have two downstairs and they nap in them during the
 day. I plan to start training them to nap in their
 crib(s) in a few weeks. I also put a pack n play in the
 bathroom during the week when my husband is working and
 they hang out in there when I shower. I had it in the
 living room for awhile but they wont sleep in it.
 There's a lot of trial and error so dont spend a lot on
 anything. We are constantly using craigslist and sfpom
 to get stuff to try or a second of something we've
 found works! Good luck and congratulations!

 Congrats on your babies! We bought each of ours a
 Stokke crib and set one up in the living room and the
 other in the nursery. They are a great size and are
 narrow enough to be rolled from room to room. My guys
 will be 3 years old next month and still sleep in them.
 We'll convert them to toddler beds if they ever figure
 out how to climb out. They are a great investment new,
 but also one of the only cribs you can legally buy
 used.
