Preemie Twins Share Heart-Melting Embrace Following NICU Journey
In an extraordinary journey through pregnancy, Meghan and Clayton Huston experienced a storm before their double rainbow. After their first child, Grey, they were thrilled to learn of a sibling on the way, but a dark cloud loomed overhead as Meghan suffered a miscarriage last July.

Barely a month later, life threw them a curveball - another pregnancy. With the scars of her recent loss still fresh, Meghan couldn't shake off the anxiety. A light bleed at three weeks seemed like a terrible omen.
On the eve of her test, Meghan saw a double rainbow. "I was pessimistic, fearing another miscarriage," she admitted. But the universe had a surprise in store. The bleeding wasn't a sign of miscarriage, but twins! "I burst out laughing," Meghan shared. Clayton's reaction? “I need to get another job."

After a smooth ride for a while, the pregnancy roller-coaster jolted at 32 weeks with an unexpected labor. An emergency C-section was performed, a first for Meghan and a distressing experience given the early arrival of her babies. Post-procedure, the twins were swiftly moved to the NICU, denying Meghan the cherished first hold she had been longing for.

"Ever since I found out I was pregnant with twins, I wanted to hold them together,” Meghan reflected. Her long-awaited moment finally arrived, immortalized on camera, and it was nothing short of magical. As one baby nestled in Meghan’s arms, his twin was placed beside him. Almost instinctively, the latter gently wrapped an arm around his brother, a silent reassurance in a tender hug.
"Seeing that twin bond in person? It was unreal."

Today, Declan and River are at home, safe and sound, completing the Huston family. Between the twins and a spirited 3-year-old, sleep may be a luxury, but Meghan couldn't be more grateful. Recalling the double rainbow, she shares, “It was our two babies."
