I had 4 children and was expecting what I thought would be my fifth....then the Dr told my dh and I that we were expecting twins...my due date was Sept 20th...everything was going well until June when at work (in a hosp) I started having contractions.....I went to the OB floor where they put me on monitors...everything was ok but I had to stop working...then the 1st part of July I started to see my high risk Dr....he discovered that one twin was bigger than the other so after 7 ultrasounds in less than 2 weeks it was decided that I was going to deliver by c-section on July 21st, 9 weeks early....on Wed of that week my oldest son (12 at the time) was in a car accident that his best friend was killed...the stress put me in labor once again....Colton (earth angel) and Benjamin (heavenly angel) were born at 4 lbs 3 oz and 2 lbs 9 1/2 oz...they were in NICU for 3 weeks (Colton) and 6 weeks (Benjamin)...on the morning of Oct 2nd, 2000 Benjamin's monitor started to alarm...he past away at the hosp a short time later...it was determined that he had a heart defect...
