Twins

My dearest, sweetest, bestest of friend had her twin boys this week and it has got me thinking about twins, babies, and all that cute stuff.  Although this article thankfully does not apply to my friend as her babies as doing really well, I saw it and thought, "Now this is worth sharing." 

Enjoy and happy Friday!

Ok, I saw this last night on Tralalère!

This picture is from an article called the “RESCUING HUG”

The article details the first week of life of a set of twins. Apparently each were in their respective incubators and one was not expected to live. A hospital nurse fought against the hospital rules and placed the babies in one incubator. When they were placed together, the healthier of the two, threw an arm over her sister in an endearing embrace. The smaller baby’s heart stabilized and temperature rose to normal.
