My husband has two children from a previous marriage. We have a four year old and then there's the twins. They we born at 24 weeks and 2 days. Born May 2, 2017. Colton being baby A and Tanner baby B. Each weighing a little over a pound. Both have undergone multiple procedures/surgeries. They were born early due to twin to twin transfusion. We never knew that was possible. We knew having identical twins had its risks, but none that would leave us wondering if they would make it after they were born. With the amazing NICU team at Forsyth Medical Center we started out with and then (after the boys were transferred due to possible surgeries needed) to Baptist Wake Forest Medical Center, we were able to make it through over 5 months of not having our boys home. There is much more follow-ups and specialist appointments, but we will be ok. We have made it through the hard part. There is not a day that goes by that I am not forever grateful for the NICU nurses that helped, not only our twins, but the entire family understand everything, and just be there for everyone. If there are some things I can recommend for any family that has to go through this it would be... 1.) find those amazing nurses that love you and your baby 2.) get rest when you can... you're crap without it 3.) don't be scared to be the parent, those little people need you to be their voice! #twinning #NICUstrong #fightlikeapreemie
