My Two Miracles

Hello everbody, my name is Paige Ann Blaine and I am writing this blog to talk about life as a single mother (with a lot of help from my parent) to my two beautiful miracle twins Aimiee and John. But first, I have to tell you about how they came to be.

When I was twenty-one, I found out that I was pregnant, and at first I was scared. My boyfriend was so scared that he walked out on me and didn't look back. And then came the big news... twins! I wasn't so excited at the time, and even thought about adoption. I thought that i had plenty of time to think about what I wanted to do, but my babies had other ideas. They wanted out, and out they came.

At twenty three weeks, Amelia Elizabeth Blaine and John-David Mark Blaine were born into this world. The second I saw my tiny helpless babies, I knew that they were mine and nothing would ever change my mind.

But then I didn't have time to focus on anything but the twins. John-David was in grave danger of loosing his battle for life, and Amelia was not any better. John-David was so sick, that every little decision would deterimine whether he kept his life or not. And although Amelia was slowly gaining strength, she wasn't out of the woods just yet. She was diagnosed with Cerebral Plasy, which has so far turned out to be false, considering that she is walking and talking a little bit. They spent the first nine months of their life in a hospital and the next ten months in haome for medically fragile children. They were not to come home due to allegations that my ex's parents put against me, and I temporarily lost cutody of them, which I gained back about 10 months ago.

At the medically fragile home (which won't be named for safety reasons) John quickly surpased his sister. He was always a eater, where as Aimiee had a
food aversion and another problem I can't even begin to spell that makes it hard for her to eat and keep down food. At six months old, she had a Low-Profile Gastrostomy Feeding Tube insterted, but we like to call it her mickey,

My beautiful babies are now healthy and happy. They are 29 months old (although with their adjusted age, they would have turned two not too long ago) and they are loving every minute of life... well except those that they aren't.
