LOS ANGELES, CA — Maybe there is something in the water, maybe it's just holiday magic, but four families welcomed twins into their lives within hours of each other last Wednesday at Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center.

The first set of twins arrived just before 9 a.m., and, after that, they just kept coming every couple of hours. Nurses and doctors had the hospital had never delivered so many twins in a single day before.

"I don't think in our 23-year history we've ever had four in 12 hours," Dr. Vu Nguyen told Fox11.

"We believe this is the first time four sets of twins were born on the same day at Kaiser Permanente Baldwin Park Medical Center, and for sure in the past 23 years, according to our staff," hospital officials said in a statement, according to Fox11.

In all, four girls and four boys were born between 8:53 a.m. and 5:17 p.m.

New parents Evelyn Anguiano-Gomez and Alfredo Gomez of La Puente welcomed their new daughters, Emberlyn and Isabelle.

“Four sets of twins born on the same day at the same location – that’s not something that happens every day,” Gomez told NBC Los Angeles. “When they told us about it, I was shocked at first...“Everyone in the OR was waiting to make history with us.”
