My Cousin is Pregnant with Twins!

Posted by kim on May 3, 2007

My first cousin, Shauna (and one of my best friends) is expecting twins!! Her daughter Little Miss Merin (my godchild) just turned a year old, and although they wanted kids close together, twins was quite a shock! Looking at our maternal family tree, there are three other sets of twins in the family (mine included), and they are all girls!

My first words of advice on having twins – do not have their names begin with the same letter. And the reason being is insurance companies usually just look at the birthdate and first initial of the first name, and if both twins are being seen, they’ll deny one of the claims as a duplicate. I have been fighting with insurance companies for years (yesterday again in fact), as both Macy and Mallory have braces (and the same birthdate), but insurance companies look at “M.” as one and deny the other. Frustrating, I tell ya.

Another word of advice while pregnant with twins – if the doctor tells you to go on bedrest, DO IT! You will regret it later if you don’t. I’ve already offered to watch Merin is Shauna goes on bedrest, because I know how hard it was to care for my son while being on bedrest with my twins.

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.
