So after gulping down my delicious chicken soup tonight, I wanted to watch @Oprah. I chose the latest episode and out comes Celine Dion who has twin boys. I love Celine and seeing her with twin baby boys on Oprah. Can my evening get any better? Check out her house!
Anyway as if the episode wasn’t emotional enough, @Oprah then brings out a couple from Columbus who have sextuplets –> ADORABLE PHOTO!!!! This couple are amazing! They have been through rough childhoods and one of the worst experiences any couple could ever go through. Mia was pregnant with twins after years of trying to fall pregnant, and she went into pre-term labour. Babies were alive and kicking as they were delivered but died as soon as the cord was cut. I can’t even imagine how horrible that would have been for them.
Early in my pregnancy with Master2, I started bleeding and cramping. It was a long public holiday weekend and hubby drove me to the emergency department at the women’s hospital. The scans and tests revealed two gestational sacs, one with heartbeat and one very still surrounded with blood hence the bleeding I was experiencing. That’s when we realised we were losing Master2′s twin. The devastation that sweeps across you at that moment is indescribable but you quickly pick yourself up and hope and pray that the “other baby” will be ok. “Please let this baby be ok!” I had suffered miscarriages before so the emotions were familiar. At the 20 week scan, we wanted to find out the sex of the baby but I was so stressed about whether the baby was ok that I completely missed what the sonographer told us. I just wanted my baby – a healthy baby! When I look at Master2 now I am ever so grateful to the powers that be that I can hold him in my arms however, I often wonder what it would have been like to have two of him!
Back to Mia and Rozonno – they tried again and hence ended up with the sextuplets. Walmart gave them $250000 credit at their store and Celine gave them the honeymoon they never had.
I love @theOprahShow and I hope I find a way to watch OWN.
Awww. So sorry you lost a twin – I can’t imagine how that feels.

This happened to my friend too. It’s so hard. On the one hand.. happiness for the one that lives, but despair for the one that didn’t.
Thanks for being brave about posting this.
THank you for sharing *hugs*
