Mom to Angel Garcia

Born and Passed on April 30th, 2010

On October 28^th 2009 I took a home pregnancy test because I was a couple days late and knew pregnancy was highly possible.  I had my Mirena removed in July as Tim and I decided we would like to have another baby.  In November I had my first prenatal appointment and Tim and I were SHOCKED when the ultra-sound technician told us there were three heartbeats.  This was supposed to be number four, now we were learning it would be number five and six as well!

Mom to Hannah born July 9, 2010

and Miscarriage at 8 weeks on June 23, 2008

Dubai, United Arab Emirates
 

Ever since I was a little girl – all I spoke about and wanted was to get married and have lots of children. I actually thought I’d ‘settle’ on 5 children but when I met my husband he made it clear he only wanted to have 2 children. Between us we have loads of twins in our family, his father, my mother, my mother had twins, my grandfather is a twin…. Needless to say twins run in the family. So I spoke with certainty, that well - then we’d just have to have 1 child and then twins later, so that we would have 3 children!

Grew her wings on August 8, 2010

Tecumseh, Michigan
 

September and October of 2009 were both very busy months for us. We had 2 weddings, 2 bridal showers, 2 Bachlorette parties, a baby shower, 2 birthday parties, a Halloween party...basically we were booked up for those 2 months solid. November 11th 2009 I started getting sick and was sick the rest of the week until Saturday and Sunday. Monday came around and I was sick again. On November 18th 2009 I just happened to think "Hmmm, when did I have a period last?" I couldn't remember at all so I decided to take a test just to be sure. It came back positive, but this time was different.

Passed away of SIDS on June 20th, 2010

Sarnia, Ontario

Life was going great my husband and I decided to get pregnant on mother's day two year's ago, so I then stopped taking my birth control and shortly after within a few week's I became pregnant with our first daughter. She was born healthy and turned out to be my birthday present :) I had turned 21 and had found out I had a baby girl all in one night, how great was that!When she was about three months I told my then fiance that I wanted another baby ( I had baby fever ) and we wanted our kid's close in age. Well my husband agreed that it would be nice to try again.

Mom to Tabitha Faith

Passed away May 21st, 2009, and was born with her surviving twin sister, Heidi Faith, August 7th, 2009

Bossier City, LA

In December 2008 going into the new year, I found myself abnormally exhausted. All I wanted to do was sleep! I am a nurse and worked nights, so I figured it was just the rigorous work schedule taking a toll. I hadn't had my period in about a month and a half, but I have always been irregular, so didn't think much of it...even with the fact I had been off my birth control a month, I still didn't think pregnancy was a real option. I took a test the beginning of January 2009 and it was negative. 

 

Towards the end of January, I still hadn't gotten my period so I took the last test in the box thinking what the heck. It was about 6 am in the morning. My husband, then boyfriend at the time, had stayed over. We had planned to go out the night before but ended up falling asleep in the bed (remember I was constantly tired!). He was asleep when I got up that morning to go to the bathroom. I took the test and set it down on the edge of the tub while I washed my hands. I just figured on seeing a negative test like all the times before (we had a lot of "scares" in the past...I had never been very good at remembering to take my BC! haha). To my astonishment, I looked at the test and there is was...POSITIVE! Two little pink lines confirming "yes, you are pregnant." My first thought was "oh s**t!" because my parents...they are conservative, old fashioned church goers...didn't really like my boyfriend (now my husband) and we weren't married. So I was pretty scared at thinking about their reaction more than anything at the time. But we pressed on, got through all the trivial stuff with them and were excited....little did we know those two pink lines for us meant "twins"...
