Our Twins-Two Hearts of Love

The day my husband and I found out we were having twins was the most exciting and shocking news. We knew that our lives would never be the same. Identical twins run on my husband side(his brothers are twins) but when we found out that they were fraternal we knew God had a special plan for us. :)
Being that I am only 107lbs soaking wet we knew that we would run into some problems with me carrier more than one baby. Sure enough I was in the hospital 2 times for pre-term labor and we thought that we would never make it to full-term.
Well 36 weeks and 5 days later I was scheduled for a c-section.
On February 4, 2010 Ryan Michael Jr. and Christian Umberto Jackson were brought into this world tiny as ever and struggling to breath. Both of my boys were in NICU for just about 2 weeks which was the longest and hardest weeks of our lives.
Once we brought our bundles of joys home life has been hectic but wonderful.
Just for giggles my first born was name after dad and Christian was basically named after mom(Christina) and his Papa Umberto.
I am sure every mom says it but we do have the cutest twins!!!!!
