We're frequent visitors to PregnancyToday.com, and have appreciated all the tips we learned there. Now it's our turn to share what we've learned. But first, here's our story.

To sum it up, I guess the moral of this story is that when things don't go as planned, hang in there, have faith in God and confidence in the doctors, and the outcome may be surprisingly pleasant.

My wife, Ursula, was supposed to be due on June 28, 1999. Instead, she delivered two beautiful boys at 33 weeks and 2 days gestation on May 11. Issac Edward was 4 pounds and 18 inches long, and Alexander Kyle was 4 pounds, 13 ounces, and 19 inches long. Alex came home after only five days in the NICU.

We had a great pregnancy. Ursula started at 115 pounds and gained about 32 pounds by 30 to 31 weeks. Ultrasounds showed that the boys were in different positions every time. Twin A had been head down at 30 weeks.
