Tomorrow they are six.
It’s easy to remember exactly where I was this time six years ago…
Twenty-nine weeks pregnant, sitting in hospital waiting for the second round of ouchy, stingy, steroid shots.
I still remember the voice on the phone early that morning – “There are changes in Twin One’s brain, come in now, the babies will be born tomorrow”.
But this tomorrow they will turn six. They beat the odds of TTTS and they’ll be six.
Today they are five, tomorrow they are six, and I still remember.

What a journey you have all taken! That your beautiful girls survived when the odds were against them must make each birthday extra special.
And six, SIX, oh my, can you believe you will be mother to six year olds!??!
I will be there behind you in a few months!

I’m guessing you will still remember when they turn 66 – to which their reaction will be “oh muuuum!”

Did you see Saving babies series ?…I met the mum who shared her story on TTTS but sadly only one little girl made it , now almost 3.
She goes to our playgroup and she told me her story Tuesday.I thought of you of your precious girls.
