On 12/23/06 I was in the hospital room with my daughter(we had been there for almost a week). She was 21 weeks pregnant with my identical twin grandsons(Aiden and Shawn).....my first grandchildren.
At my daughters request, and because I would've been no where else at the time, I witnessed my grandsons come in to the world, first Aiden, and then Shawn(feet first). I watched the boys be placed on my daughters chest, and live for about 30 minutes.
My daughter is the person I am closest to in the whole world. To watch the tears, and anguish on my "first time mother" daughters face just haunts me.
I had lain awake the whole night before watching the contraction monitor rise and fall.........praying almost every second to God to please let my gransons live....but it didn't work.
Has anyone else ever been through this?
