This week I would like to introduce you to Angie, from Seven Clown Circus. I’ll let her tell you about herself…
I am a stay at home mom of 5 children. My number 4 and 5 children are 2 year old identical twins that have kept me hopping since I found out about them when I was pregnant. I try really hard to balance life and my children and the opportunities that being a mom provides.
My twins were monoamniotic, which means they shared a placenta and an amniotic sac. It’s caused by a late splitting egg…..any later and they would be conjoined. The dangerous part is that they share blood supply AND living space, so their cords could become tangled and compressed causing fetal death. So, at viability I left my 3 children and husband and went inpatient for continuous fetal monitoring before their premature birth via C-Section. I was in the hospital for 10 weeks!
I LOVE to blog and do volunteer work. I love to write and have actually been paid to do it! I even have an article slated to be published this year. I’m the room mom for my kindergartners class, I teach my oldest daughters Sunday School class, and I spend hours each week supporting and getting information to the rare parents of monoamniotic twins as a moderator on www.monoamniotic.org.
Please visit Angie, where you can read more about the Seven Clowns and their family adventures!
Do you have any encouraging words, tips or ideas for Angie? Has she touched you in some way today or through her blog? Would you please share? Kindly leave a quick hello for her, or any words of encouragement that may help her on her journey as a wife and mother!
