Imagine...a positive pregnancy tests after months and months of failed fertility treatments.

Imagine...finding out you are having twins!!

Imagine...going to the hospital with contractions in July-when your due date is not until October.

Imagine...having the doctors tell you that there is a good chance your babies will die if born now.

Imagine...having to go off of all your labor stopping drugs because you have developed pulmonary edema from all the bed rest and drugs.

Imagine...having 15-20 hospital personnel at your delivery--having NICU teams to rush your babies off to the NICU.

Imagine...seeing your babies on all kinds of tubes, ventilators and being so overwhelmed that all you can do is cry.

Imagine...waiting 11 days to hold your new baby and then, having time limits of 5 minutes of holding them per day.

Imagine...leaving the hospital and the man wheeling you out asking, "Where are the babies?" and you are going home without them because they will be staying in the hospital for another month.

Imagine...bringing 2 tiny preemies home with heart monitors. medicine regimens, 3 hour feeding schedules...think you are going to sleep (not)!

Imagine...now 2 perfectly healthy 2 year olds that are singing, running, jumping, looking at books, learning colors, letters--you can't tell them apart from any other children their age.

Imagine...how grateful their mother feels each day that she looks into their faces and hear "I wuv you, Mommy". God sent me these two precious gifts and all the heartache we went through is worth it everytime I see them smile!
