Here is Saranne772's entry. It is sad, but well written. Below the story are the questions and namebanks. You can still do a story, baby name announcement, journal entry, etc. in the past, present, or future anywhere. ALSO FOR THIS ROUND, WRITE A NAMEBANK OF 5 NAMES PER GENDER!!! They do not have to be your favorites, but please do not pick the names you hate the most. Below that is the players' families so far.
Ollie and Saranne met 7 years ago when they were 17 and 16 respectively. They soon formed a close friendship and got to know each othervery well. After several years this friendship developed into stronger feelings and they were married on December 3rd 2022. After 6 months of marriage Saranne was delighted to discover that she was expecting. They were over joyed at the prospect of being parents!
However, Saranne knew that this pregnancy was far beyond the normal pregnancy. She began to have constant morning sickness and severe migranes. The doctor informed her that this is often a sign of a multiple pregnancy! She was booked in for an ultrasound and as they watched the screen she discovered that she was expecting twins!! They were a little overwhelmed at this prospect but was ready to take it on. She thought "God gave me two arms! One for each precious bundle!!"
Meanwhile she was booked for a second ultrasound a few weeks later. She was in for a BIG surprise!! The ultrasound revealed 4 tiny heartbeats! She was expecting quads! Two sets of identical twins. The doctors were amazed and all the maternity staff crowded into the room to see this amazing miracle! Identical twins, 2 sets! Conceived naturally! And an extremely rare and unlikely occurance! Saranne rethought her original statement and decided that the Lord wanted Ollie to be very involved in their rearing and thus he provided them with 4 little ones. One for each arm between them.
Her pregnancy was very difficult! At 20 weeks she was admitted to hospital on complete bedrest! She aimed to reach 34 weeks before undergoing a planned caesarian. However at 29 weeks one of the twins went into shock and stopped moving. With the hopes of saving the little ones life she was rushed into surgery and her babies were delivered. They weighed 3.11, 3.06, 1.11 and 0.98. The babies were rushed to the NICU and stabalised as best as possible. Sadly however one infant from each set of twins did not make it. Their little girl Leah Mary was born weighing only 0.98 and despite all the doctors attempts to save her she passed away 6 hours after delivery. Charles Anthony weighed 1.11 and survived 7 days in the NICU however he contracted a severe bacterial infection and 2 days later he also passed away.
To say that Saranne and Ollie were devastated would be a major understatement. However, the joy of knowing that 2 of their infants survived helped them grief and come and stand strong for their remaining infants. Rickie had a hernia at 3 weeks and needed minor surgery to repair this. This set his development back slightly and he remained in the NICU for another 5 weeks and 6 days. Nai recovered well and was able to go home after 5 weeks and 3 days.
Finally the whole family arrived home and are beginning to settle into some kind of routine.
Thank you, Saranne772!
