I was watching the Dr. Keith Ablow Show today about twin psychics, Terry and Linda Jamison.
The identical Psychic Twins predicted the simultaneous terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center Towers and on Washington, D.C. by Bin Laden. The Psychic Twins made this prediction to 20 million listeners on the Art Bell Radio Show in November 1999. While they primarily focus on psychic counseling for individuals and businesses, a sideline that they have become known for is world predictions (medical breakthroughs, national and natural disasters, the U.S. economy, stock market, etc.) It was interesting to watch them, as they are 100% identical and even speak the same words at the same time.
Fostering a sharing and caring environment at home is nothing short of difficult. Especially for twins, who are often times expected to be each other’s best friends, expectations can be overwhelming.
Bunk beds for your twins can grant them individual spaces while still learning valuable lessons about compromise and cooperation. The bunk bed helps save space in the kids’ room while your twins work together toward a common goal, whether it be making the bed or deciding who gets to sleep on the top bunk. Comfortable, secure, stylish, and a space saver, bunk beds can also be a vital learning tool for teaching your kids an important lesson in cohabitation.

No one told me about Kangaroo Care when my twin preemies were in the NICU. I first heard the concept of placing the child’s ear on the parents bare chest above the heart a couple years later when a friend of mine had premature twins, and it seemed to prove beneficial.
So, I was reading my Preemie Magazine (subscribe for free) this month that offered Kangaroo Care Tips. I thought I would share them online for others…
1. Ask your baby’s doctor, nurse, or healthcare provider when you can start Kangaroo Care.
2. Before you leave for the hospital, shower first, and then wear a button-down blouse.
3. Remove all clothing from your baby except the diaper and the hat.
4. Do not remove any wires, tubes or hookups to machines. If your baby is intibated, ask the nurse for assistance.
5. Place the baby on your bare chest, between the breasts, with a blanket over your baby’s back.
6. Turn the baby’s head so that his/her ear is near your heart.
7. Dads can also practice Kangaroo Care by placing the baby on his/her bare chest. Be careful baby’s fingers don’t get entangled in chest hair.
