Holding Mommy's Hand with Twins

Whenever my twins want to take me somewhere in the house or outside, they lift up their hand and pull me with my left or right hand. They, right now at least, love holding my hand to guide me where they want to go.

Oh, and when they have my hand, they have a very strong grip, like they never want to let go.
I am guessing instead of telling me, they would rather show me or guide me and I think this is cute.

My Twins and Reading the Them

Oh my girls, they love me to read to them. I could read all their books in one day, three times over. And believe me, we have at least 40+ books to read all day long.

Two days ago, my twins and I were sitting on our recliner and I was reading them. Twin A and B, separately, took my hand, and had me hold the left side of the book I was reading to them, Brown Bear, The Foot Book and some Christmas book too.

I just thought it was so sweet how they intentionally grabbed or held my hand and placed the book page in my hand. When they each want something, they are not shy, around Mommy and Daddy that is, showing us what they want and directing our attention to their want or need.

Doctor in Wisconsin Delivers 4 Sets Of Twins, On One Shift!!

Dr. Ken Merkitch thought he would help a friend out by subbing for him as the on-call doctor at Gundersen Lutheran Hospital in La Crosse on Friday.

"No good deed goes unpunished," Merkitch said.

Merkitch and some of the parents and their twins appeared on NBC's "Today" show on Wednesday. Merkitch said the shift started off slow until a couple came in pregnant with twins. The births of Samantha and Maxwell were an exciting start to the day.

"I love delivering twins," Merkitch said.

But be careful what you wish for. Marisa and Makenna were born next. After 19 years at Gundersen Lutheran, this was a first for Merkitch. "I don't know that I delivered two sets of twins in one day," he said.

However, then Milo and Maggie were delivered and Ayden and Avery were not far behind.

Merkitch said the hospital averages 31 twin births a year, so four in one day is well above average.

He thanked his nurses with Doublemint gum, Dubble Bubble gum and Twix bars.
