I wanted to share the story of my twin girls.  After a very easy pregnancy, I suddenly went into labor at 23 weeks gestation. At 23 weeks and 6 days my first daughter was born (1 pound 1 oz), then at 24 weeks 3 days my second daughter was born (1 pound 5 oz), (yes 4 days apart).  Most of the doctors gave us the stats for survival and hinted towards just letting them go, but my husband and I could not do it.  There were a lot of ups and downs after that including one heart surgery, one eye surgery, and multiple infections. At one point they advised us to pull the plug on one of our daughters, she was really sick and her stats were really bad.  So we decided to have her baptized and shortly after the baptismal her stats started to come back up. After a very long 4 months spent in the NICU my girls finaly came home, just one week after their original due date. They are now two months old corrected age (6 months true age) and are doing very well.  They are now 13 pounds and 15 pounds and are healthy happy babies.  They still have a long road ahead to see if there are any long term effects, but if you look at them now you would never know they were preemies.  I now call them my angels as they are two beautiful little miricles.
