“Double your pleasure, double your fun” couldn’t be more true when it comes to Identical Twins. Starting with the moment your obstetrician tells you, "You're pregnant" and then “There are two of them,” your life is never the same. Twins are amazing. Aside from the remarkable science behind them and the totally random happenstance of their creation, the very fact that two people can have identical faces and DNA is just miraculous. Here you have two babies who have spent nine months keeping each other company in the womb and then, upon being released into the world, continue to amaze all those around them. Parents of twins have reported identical sleeping positions, finding their twins sleeping in the same bed; As babies, when they would nap in the same crip, and even if they started out on opposites sides, they would always end up holding on to each other, most likely as they did in-utero.
