My Twins Story :)

Hello I'm Emily. When I was 15 I got pregnant by who I thought was the love of my life, Caden. We dated for 2 months and started having sex. I know, really early in the relationship.. But I loved him or so I thought. But I missed my period in September. I got worried.. My Bestfriend bought me a pregnancy test, and it came out positive. I told Caden, and he left me. In December I had an ultra sound appointment, he showed up and saw we were having twins. He said "I can't handle twins." I got mad and said "fine leave then!!" he did. In May, 2009 I gave birth to two beautiful baby girls! Kendall Morgan 5lbs 4oz 18 in. and Blair Elizabeth 5lbs 0oz 16 in. They're now three years old, happy, beautiful, baby girls :) I wouldn't change a thing in my life. Even if Caden isn't around.

Girls, Boys, Twins, Oh My!

I was in love at 18 with my best friend's brother and later was married to him when I was 21 and Chris was 23. As a schoolteacher and a pediatrician, we loved kids.

On our 6 month anniversary, I became pregnant with a wonderful baby girl. Usually starting a family young is risky, but my parents were going to help us out and we lived in a 5 bedroom house with plenty of space, so we decided to keep the baby. On April 3, Chris and I welcomed Jubilee Amy-Faith Holtty. We used Jubilee because it combined my middle name (Julia) with Chris's mother's name Julee. We would call her Amy though because we like short and sweet names.

About a year after Amy was born, we wanted her to learn the responsibility of caring for someone. We tried for another baby. I was pregnant again. For the next 9 months all Amy talked about was "the baby" and that she was going to "help" Mama change diapers.(We had given her a toy baby for her birthday.) Chris, Amy, and I couldn't wait for our new addition to arrive. The due date came and went and soon I found my self 39 weeks into my pregnancy. After talking to my doctor, Chris and I decided to go ahead and have me induced on November 29. Finally, on Nov. 29, Amy got to see her baby brother whom we named Joesph Rienn Holtty. He would be called Joey when he grows up.

Amy absolutely loved Joey. She even loved "helping" Mama put clothes on him. Chris and I discussed having another child and decided to try for one as soon as Joey was old enough. When Joey was nearing his 1st birthday, we began to try. I guess we tried too hard because I was pregnant with not one, but two babies. Imagine trying to explain that to a 2 1/2 and 1 year olds. We learned ahead of time that the babies would be girls. On July 8, Emery Lynn and Ella Sydney were born - 2 minutes apart. Joey gave Emery her nickname Emmi since he couldn't pronounce it correctly. Ella, although her name is simple enough, it was easier for Amy and Joey to call her either Ells or Ellie.

As soon as Emmi and Ellie were old enough to go to preschool (about 2), Chris and I knew we could make it with another baby... or as it turned out babies. Chris, Amy, Joey, Emmi, Ellie, and I couldn't wait for our newest additions. After learning I was to have twins again, we knew we needed to have more space and instead of moving we added a "guest" house with an indoor walkway across the lawn. We gave up a bit of outdoor space but were able to work with it. We added 2 more bedrooms, a bathroom, a small sitting room, and a kitchenette. Chris and I decided to move over there and make the other bedroom a nursery for the babies. Amy and Joey would keep their rooms and Emmi and Ellie would each get their own rooms. We would have another bedroom to turn into a guest room for my mom when she comes and helps with the kids. On April 18, I had to have a c section. Luckily, my son and daughter were born healthy and we named them Abigail Gianna-Hope and Jackson Smith. What would we call them? Abby and Jackie of course!!

I knew we were done since we had all our beds full but by some miracle I was pregnant once more with one baby - a girl we learned. Chris and I believe in letting our kids have their own room since we had to share when we grew up. We wanted to keep the sitting room in our "guest" house so we added on a small addition including a bedroom and bathroom. They were small but perfect. I knew this child would be the last of our bunch. Our last addition was soon added on January 14. As a family we named her Grace Elaine Holtty. We called her Gracie and couldn't wait to bring her home with us.

My family is the awesome. Amy and Joey know the roots of growing up to share with their brother and sisters. Emmi and Ellie are enjoying each others company and call each other "sissie". Abby and Jackie have their role models picked out - Amy and Joey. Even though Gracie is still a baby she tries to keep up with the big kids. Chris and I try to be fun parents and have learned to let go of all the little things since our kids are learning to care, share, and be happy. I love each and every one of them equally. I absolutely love being a mother.

Alone with 3

When i was 14 i was in a relationship with a guy named damion i though i was in love but i was rong, he turned out to be a reall JERK, i found out he was cheating on me with 2 other girls, and one was my ex bestfriend. At first i didnt believe it but when i saw them to together i just had to let him go. 2 weeks later i found out i was pregnat and i knew it was his, because i was 14 and he was the only dude i had did it with, he denied the baby and called me out my name, i thought that i was dreaming when he told me i needed to get a DNA test before he buys or does anything for my baby. I am now 16 years old and my baby is 2. She has never seen her father, and her father has never seen her. And you know what i am ok with that because, i can do bad all by myself. Of course with the help of my parents.

Teen double trouble survival

When I was 16 I was involved with a guy who I adored we started sleeping together using birth control. After two months I noticed I hadn’t been having periods, I thought this was the birth control side effects. But after rigorously throwing up I started talking to my boyfriend about it. When he suggest I take a pregnancy test I was shocked and confused after being on birth control. When I had my sonogram the doctor told us it was twins. I started to panic knowing I couldn’t handle one let alone two. For about 3 months I managed to keep it hidden but with two babies I started to show I had to tell my mom. He reactions didn’t surprise me with her kicking me out the house and giving me a major abortion speech. After 6 months of being pregnant I was quite large my mom decided it would be better for me and my boyfriend to live with her as she and my father would help support me with the baby. I was lucky because my dad was quite well off and was able to afford to support me. On November the 19th I gave birth to two beautiful baby girls they were perfect and gorgeous. After going home it really sunk in how hard it would be we were getting up 3 to 6 times each night for hours on end feeding and rocking and changing the babies reality hit us that we both had to do some growing up. My boyfriend went back to college two weeks later which was even harder since I was looking after the twins without them having two babies was stressful there was always double the amount than one baby and going out was a real struggle with all the stuff I was carrying and the double pram. Id oftern find myself being looked apon by others giving me terrible looks as if i had done something wrong. Never did anyone offer me help when I dropped something or was struggling to carry everything. I really relied on my mother a lot! With her being a housewife she was able to help me with the babies and give me a rest every once in a while. After a month and a half I returned back to school in order to graduate I was lucky to have my mum and the nanny look after the babies while my boyfriend and I continued to get through my education. A year on and I have graduated school and am currently at the local college doing Law. My beautiful Angel and Chelsea have just turned one and are the most precious thing in my life I couldn’t imagine not having them. My boyfriend and I are still together we’ve had many ups and downs and been on breaks but we are working hard to keep our family together I think I’ve been extremely lucky with my family support without them I know I would of had to of dropped out of school to raise them of have put them up for adoption. I would never wish my daughters away but I wish I would have been 10 years older and married before I started my family

twin's overseas

I was already shocked to find out that I was pregnant, we were not preventing it but it only took a month. I was visiting my Australia from canada when I became pregnant, I spent most of my time in Australia and flew home for a month and we decided to have our family here. we found out at 8 weeks that I was having twins and that there were two seperate sacs, so they would most likely be fraternal. We were really excited and told all our family right away. We found out at 19 weeks that we were having a boy and girl, which we thought was perfect. I found out I had gestational diabeties at the last it of my pregnancy and that was really hard to deal with, especially when I wanted to eat a lot.
At 34 weeks I was out shopping and felt a little tired and it was reallyhard to walk and get around. I was always tired and had a really hard time sleeping. My water broke at 4 am and we were admitted in to hospital and were told that I would not have the baby right away. It could be anywhere to a week till they deliver, I guess they wanted to have them in as long as possible. My partner went home, later that evening at around 6 I started getting pains which felt like period cramps. and they didn't say that they were for sure contractions. The twins were in the wrong position so I knew that I was going to have to have a caesarian. My partner was still home and the nurse said that I would not have the babies anytime soon..the doctor came to check me and she said suddenly that I can't move and not to worry, but baby a wich was the boy, his cord was presenting. So if I was to move then the cord could have fallen out and cut off the blood supply...she had to keep her had their and they weeled me to the operating room, I immediately was scared and cried, especially that I was all alone. They did call my partner and it was about 8:30 pm at this time. It was very scary and I had to be put under for the c section. I woke up very groggy and my partner was there and I told him right away to go see them..to make sure they were ok...they were ok but they had to go to Nicu. The boy was on Cpap but the girl was left without it. I spent a month in hospital and finally got to take them home. they weighed 4 lbs 2 oz and 4 lbs 12 oz we named them Charlize and Sebastian. They are now 3 months and are a lot of work..being that my family is in CANADA!! They are very healthy and weighing over 13 pounds and are 3 months old now and they are smiling :)
