You guys were very blessed. 15 weeks is so early no doctor would have given you much hope. 33 weeks, that is awesome! Full term for twins, almost!! Enjoy a happy lifetime with your little girl.

Oh, I agree. Just my regular sonogram at 15 weeks showed a little Casper the friendly ghost forehead which my daughter still has at age 2! And I did see her heart beating at 6.2 weeks, and prayed it would beat for at least another 80 years.

My little girl is a miracle.

We were told that night in January that we were going to lose the baby. The Doctor, a wonderful pro life Catholic woman, came in and told us that in 48 hours labor would start, and that she had never had one rupture that early and make it to term.

8 days later, we went home with my bride still pregnant. She spent four months on bed rest, and had our little girl by c section on May 21st. Our daughter’s lungs are the issue, but she is doing well and should come home soon. Our Doctor is writing it up and will place it in various journals.

For us, it is an ongoing journey. We have been very blessed to have the doctor we did. Most will tell the mothers to abort at that point, Doc never even brought it up. When our little girl made it to Iowa City, most of the NICU doctors and nurses could not believe that she was there with the history she had.
