“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds. I will be glad and rejoice in you; I will sing the praises of your name, O Most High.”
Psalm 9:1-2
Do you guys plan on having more children?
No! We always pictured ourselves with 2 children but God had bigger and better plans. I did say that maybe after the twins were born I would consider having more but that was before they were born very premature. I couldn’t do another pregnancy. I’d love to foster to adopt in the future!
How has Noah adjusted to the twins?
Amazingly. He is such a great big brother but he’s not overbearing which is nice.
Are the twins identical?
The twins are classified as Di/Di twins which is fraternal twins. They had their own placentas, sac’s, etc. However, there is a 30% chance they COULD be identical. We have to get them genetically tested to find out for sure.
“Who do you believe the kids look most alike and who do they act most like?“
I can say that Noah and Ema resemble me the most. Feature by feature on their faces matches mine. Luna is a combination of me and Medardo. Noah and Ema have my personality (Lord help us haha!) and thankfully Luna has her dads calm and mellow personality!
Do multiples run in your family?
Yep! Even though multiples come from the woman (eggs splitting or two eggs) Medardo is actually a twin. My older brother was a twin (his twin passed early in conception) and my mom had twin brothers. However, none of our siblings have twins. We were the lucky winners!
Did Noah come early?
Actually, no! Noah was born at 41 weeks and 2 days. The twins were born at 22 weeks and 2 days.
Why did you go into premature labour with the twins?
We have no idea. We have no answers and I decided not to dig to try to find any (like exams and stuff) because they are our last children. One reason they did give was that after the twins were born I was diagnosed with pneumonia so they said that COULD have been a reason.
How did you keep your faith in those early days with the twins?
My faith was all I had at that time. Regardless what happened to the twins, one thing remains and always will; God is faithful and good. He loves me. I trust Him with every aspect in my life and that’s including my children. These children belong to God first and me second.
How hard is it being a SAHM of 3 under 3?
Honestly, not hard. Definitely not as hard as social media memes make it seem! I have 3 incredible children who sleep well and are easy going. I was made for motherhood. Of course I have hard days where I am exhausted, overwhelmed and out of patience. I’m not a perfect mother by any means. I fall short everyday. I am thankful for God’s grace daily!
If you have any questions please ask! I am an open book.
