A Gift From God

I am 19 yrs old and before I was pregnant I lived a crazy lifestyle. I was a wild child and barely ate enough to stay alive. To say the least, my body was worn out and VERY run down. A few weeks before I found out I was pregnant my hair had begun to fall out.

When I found out I was pregnant I was terrified but it forced me to stop partying and to begin eating. At one point in time I considered an abortion but my mother convinced me to go to my first ultrasound. At 7 weeks I saw my two precious angels. I was TERRIFIED, to say the least, but at this point I knew there was no way I could have the abortion.

Throughout these past 8 months I have grown up tremendously. I'll never forget the first time I felt them move. It was the first time I laughed since discovering I was pregnant. It was in that single moment I realized that I could do this.

I now realize these two princesses inside me have saved my life. If I hadn't gotten pregnant, who knows where I would be. It's amazing how much I have changed my outlook on life and what is truly important. I now take school more seriously and NEVER miss a class. And, I now know the value of a dollar and the word "overtime" is music to my ears.

I look at all my old friends who do nothing but party and just feel sorry for them. My girls are going to be arriving in a few short weeks and I can truly say that deep in my heart I realize this is why I was put on this earth...To be a mother. I know I have a very hard road ahead of me, but I am more than willing and ready to do this. Being a single mom is never easy but I do believe this has made me so much stronger and it has taught me exactly what I CAN survive.

I never knew you could love someone so much without seeing their face. I can't wait to meet Joselyn and Gracie.

 I already have a 4 year old son.

As I already have a 4 old year son, I planned for second one. Note, one. But I had twins so I have to be with 3 kids. So I hated having twins. Now I have 3 sons.

Still feeling worried about it, but your stories have inspired me. Definitely I will believe that twins are the greatest gift from god. Not everyone will get it, thanks a lot

 INSPIRING!!!!!
by: Cheri

I cannot tell you how much your words have been inspiring to all of us (well I can't speak for all of us), mostly me. You are a youngin' and I am an older mom to be that is starting over with kids - I did not want any more kids (mine are grown up with kids of their own), and I have struggled very much with this twin pregnancy. They really are a blessing, and they are a gift from God. Thank you very much! Keep up the good work you have done thus far. There will be terrible storms in the future, but if you give them to God, he will carry you through them. When you look back, you will see it, even if you don't see it right away, I promise you that.
