Lovely twins Lindsey & Bethany

My husband and I actually have the third set of twins in my husband's family! The doctors say it is not possible for twins to run in the mans side of the family but I don't know how else to explain it!

My husband is the middle child and has 2 brothers. His older brother has fraternal twin boys who are now 9. His younger brother has boy/girl twins who are 5. We have identical twin girls who will be 3 in a couple of months. So three brothers each had a set of twins!

Our girls are named Lindsey Marie and Bethany Grace. They induced my labor at 35.5 weeks because Bethany (baby B) was not getting any nourishment. Lindsey weighed 4lb 8-1/2oz; Bethany weighed 3lb 14-1/4oz. They had a few problems after birth but were able to go home when they were only 10 days old. Since then, other than the usual colds and such, they have been perfectly healthy children.
