It is hard to believe that tomorrow begins Jack and Ella's 6th week outside the womb. Though I have loved getting to know them, I can't help but feel guilty that they have had to struggle and fight so hard to survive... They should be safe inside me, but instead they are hooked up to machines and living in a box. They have had to do things that their little bodies shouldn't have to do yet. I hate it! It has been getting harder and harder to go to the hospital and visit them. We just want them home. Can David and I really make it another 7 weeks? AGHHH
Welcome to our family's story
Over the past several years Kristy and I have been through the highest highs and the lowest lows. In January 2008, we were blessed with our newest twins, Jack and Ella, who were born prematurely at 27 weeks. Our fighter, Jack, weighed in at 1 lb 3 oz at birth and our princess, Ella, at 1 lb 13 oz. Through many prayers and lots of love from our friends at Riley, they are now in excellent health.
In August 2006, our first twins, Claire and Gracie, were born too prematurely at 20 weeks. We'll never forget and will always love them.
