Poem: “I am your twin”

“ I'm your twin, you're my twin.
We stick together through thick and thin.
No matter what I do I'm always stuck with you.
But if trouble comes our way,

Stolen moments

(My two little 5-month old pumpkins)

Happy Fall everyone! This is a picture of my two cute miracle pumpkins gives us so much joy. I recently read a story of a grieving father and his precious daughter. And the two words "stolen moments" caught my total attention. I really like that description, because I too feel cheated in life of so many stolen moments I will never get to experience with my triplets. And so when I look at my twin little ones, I'm still in awe of all the many times their lives were at risk, and be able to overcome them. So I treasure them, while I yearn for my babies in Heaven.

Over a year ago I remember when we went for the ultrasound and we discover their heartbeats for the first time: "It's twins!" the nurse celebrated... Honestly I was scared to death of loosing them because of multiple-pregnancy and its complications; or the traumatic experience and loss of our triplets.

Our miracle twin babies

(My two little giraffes. 7 days old)

This picture was taken when my babies were only one week old. So much joy they have given us already in these few days.

During Jess long stay at the hospital I’ve come across with so many amazing stories of other parents sharing their joyful story of their miracle babies. Some giving us reassurance, others asking for support and a word of encouragement. I listened to their fears and worries. And more important, I prayed for them daily. Some babies did make it to the gestational age that they could go to the NICU and survived. But sadly others parents experienced the same loss that we did with our triplets, and my heart broke for them every time I heard about them.

Hence, going through this experience showed me (once more) how complex and fragile new life can be. On this post I want to summarize all the medical challenges that my two miracle boys overcame to finally be in our arms. This should help many others when they go through similar situations, to give them hope and faith that He can do miracles for them too.

Jaden and Jackson are born

For this two little miracles so many have prayed

(Holding my twin boys for the first time)

Years ago, when I embraced my son for the first time, I held him at the hospital room for a long time, and engraved in my heart every single minute of it. At that moment, I was thinking: "this will be my only miracle child that I will be able to have in this life on Earth... So, I better enjoy this moment to the fullest."

I had no idea that a double blessing was down the road going to be in our arms, and be able to enjoy having to take care, love and raise another child.

I'm still overjoyed to see, hold, embrace and feel that my two little boys finally have made it. It was not an easy journey. At times we thought they would never make it. But we refused to give up, and continued trusting that God will hear our prayers.

This coming week they will be finally be here

Very soon this room is going to be full of joy:
