Twelve sets of twins is a record at the hospital.
Nurse Danielle Gathers says they always see multiples in the unit, but not 12 sets at one time.
The babies will spend Thanksgiving at the hospital.
New mother Amanda Tollifer says her twins, Kara and Isaac, were born eight weeks early.
She says she had no idea having twins right now was “such the ‘in’ thing.”
