Stansel Journey: 20th Week

20th Week

Today I reached 20 weeks! It feels like I still have a long way to go, but I've also come along way. I'm so happy to have reached 20 weeks. It means I am closer to the target of 28-30 weeks. Now that I am at 20 weeks, I have been feeling the babies move around more. It's a neat feeling. My belly is also growing and It feels like I'm getting bigger every day.

You're doing an amazing job! I know it feels like you still have a long way to go but just think, only 4 weeks until one of your biggest milstones: viability! Once I hit 24 weeks with my triplets I was able to breathe a little better.

Sending prayers your way.

Surprisingly, you don't look all that big. One of my friends is almost 20w with twins, and I think she's about the same size.

About Us

Thomas and I were married in January 2007 in Houston, Texas. About 8 months later, we were excited to start a family. After a diagnosis of infertility due to PCOS and endometriosis, we were devastated. With the help of infertility treatments we were blessed with twin boys (Brian and Brendan), but unfortunately lost them at 18 weeks due to an incompetent cervix. Unwilling to give up on our dream to have a family, we tried again, but our second try resulted in an ectopic pregnancy. On our third try we were surprisingly expecting sextuplets. On August 4, 2009 at 22 weeks 6 days, we welcomed 4 girls and 2 boys - Haley, Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn, Rachel and Kaitlyn. Our sweet angels Braden, Dallin, Ashlyn and Kaitlyn passed away and returned to our loving Heavenly Father. We have been so blessed to have Haley and Rachel at home with us. They have been home from the NICU since February 2010. They are doing well and growing. They are miracles! We love them and have been so blessed!

We have been so blessed to have added another miracle baby to our family. Kayla was born December 9, 2011. She was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. She is a precious miracle and we are so glad she joined our family.

Our last little miracle, Brandon Thomas joined our family on December 14, 2015. He was born at 36 weeks, 5 days. He was 9 pounds, 7 oz (big boy)! He has spina bifida, but he is doing well. He is such a happy boy!! We love our little boy and are so blessed to have him in our family.
