2020 Ambassador Family

 

 

The Everett Family

Brian and I thought our family was complete with our son Connor and daughter Leah, but God saw otherwise when we found out we were expecting twins in September of 2016. My pregnancy with our baby boys was nearly picture perfect until I went into premature labor at 34 weeks and 2 days, which my doctors informed me was somewhat common with twins. Baby A was breech so we knew that a C-section was inevitable, but what started out as a routine procedure turned into an emergency when his heart rate dropped into the 80’s just prior to the surgery. Amongst the controlled chaos, Chase and Chandler were born in less than 3 minutes, weighing 4lbs 13oz and 4lbs 11oz. They were tiny, but they were fighters. They both had quite a difficult start to their little lives and required a lot of support during their first week. After spending 19 days in the Special Care nursery at Lake Norman Regional Medical Center, they were both discharged and came home together. Today Chase and Chandler are healthy, rambunctious and energetic (almost) 3year-olds who brighten our lives each and every day. We are forever grateful for the care that they received from all the amazing nurses and doctors but are even more grateful for the advances in medicine that gave my little heroes their fighting chance. Words can never express how thankful we are to the March of Dimes and for all those who support their ongoing efforts to give all babies the best start possible.
