Help Jared and Christina with medical bills

If you know Jared and Christina, you are one of the blessed ones. They love deeply, pour into so many people and sacrificially invest in many lives. Their house is always full of people they love and who love them. They do so much for others; now it’s our turn to do something for them. With Christina going into the hospital soon and the sweet baby girls being born so early, they will incur many costs. We want to bless them financially so that it’s one less thing for them to worry about, and they can enjoy their sweet girls without the added financial stress. We want to bless Jared and Christina like they’ve blessed us. We also ask for continued prayer in the coming months!

Note from Christina

A little info about our mono/mono twins:

Jared and I were shocked to find out that we were having twins at our very first sonogram appointment! And we were even more surprised at our follow-up appointment to find out that we were having mono/mono twins.

For reference, fraternal twins are called di/di twins because they have two placentas and two amniotic sacs, one for each twin.

Most identical twins are called mono/di twins because they share one placenta and each have their own amniotic sac.

We happen to have a rare (less than 1% of all twin pregnancies) type of identical twins called mono/mono, meaning our girls are sharing a placenta and an amniotic sac. Because of this, we were immediately put into the “high risk” pregnancy category due to major complications that can happen when twins are growing that close together. We have been to the high risk OB every 2 weeks for sonograms throughout our entire pregnancy (by week 20 we have had 7 sonograms).

Because the risk of complications is so high, I will be moving into the hospital at week 25 of pregnancy to allow for the growth of the twins to be constantly monitored. If everything goes well, then I will have a scheduled c-section around 32-33 weeks of pregnancy. This would put the girls arriving no later than the first week of August (even though our 40-week due date is Sept 23).

We give all glory to God that He has kept our girls healthy and that each appointment has only brought good reports! We are so thankful for everyone who has been praying and we continue to pray that both girls grow perfectly and that they will arrive without any complications.
