[name_u]Nelson[/name_u] and [name_f]Mette[/name_f] with [name_m]Raoul[/name_m], [name_u]Noam[/name_u], [name_f]Liesl[/name_f], [name_m]Jacques[/name_m], [name_f]Zarina[/name_f], [name_f]Kristina[/name_f], [name_m]Thurston[/name_m], and [name_f]Myla[/name_f]
[name_m]Keith[/name_m] and [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] met in a bar when they were 22 and 28. [name_m]Keith[/name_m] already had two sons; [name_m]Diego[/name_m] (6) and [name_m]Sergei[/name_m] (4), from a previous relationship. They started dating and [name_m]Keith[/name_m] proposed 2 years later. They got married after 8 months and started trying for a baby 4 months after. 8 months later and [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] still wasn’t pregnant. After investigations, the couple was told that they would not be able to conceive a child naturally and their best chance of having a child was through IVF. As [name_m]Keith[/name_m] already had children, they were not allowed to have IVF on the NHS. [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] loved looking after her step sons but always wanted a child of her own, so they started saving up. For their second wedding anniversary, and as their [name_u]Christmas[/name_u] and birthday presents for that year, both families bought the couple a voucher for a round of IVF. [name_m]Keith[/name_m] and [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] were overwhelmed and were thrilled when it worked first time… and it was TRIPLETS!! At 32 weeks, [name_f]Alyssa[/name_f], [name_m]Jacques[/name_m] and [name_f]Averie[/name_f] were born. They spent 6 weeks in the Neonatal Unit before being allowed home. When the triplets were three, [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] came off contraception. She didn’t expect to become pregnant from what she was told during their investigations. The triplets were 8 when [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] started to feel unwell. She thought it was a tummy bug and just tried to rest and get well but when it didn’t go after a few days, she went to the doctors. It was morning sickness and she was pregnant! [name_u]Seven[/name_u] months later, [name_f]Tiara[/name_f] was born and was beautiful and healthy. After [name_f]Tiara[/name_f] was born, [name_m]Keith[/name_m] and [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] discussed about trying for more children. They both loved their large family and decided that they would let nature take it’s course. When [name_f]Tiara[/name_f] was just 2 months old, [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] found out she was pregnant again! Three weeks to-the-day after Tiara’s first birthday, [name_u]Jai[/name_u] was born. [name_m]Keith[/name_m] and [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] decided to keep trying for one more to add to their brood. Nothing happened for 10 months and although [name_m]Keith[/name_m] and [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] were disappointed, they were grateful for the children they did have. A few months later and [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] started to feel the familiar sick feeling again. After taking a pregnancy test, she found she was 2 weeks pregnant. Unfortunately [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] miscarried the baby at 10 weeks. They were devastated. [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] decided to go back onto contraception as she didn’t want to face the prospect of the loss of another pregnancy. At her appointment to have her contraception fitted, the nurse handed [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] a pregnancy test to take first. [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] went and took it and handed it back to the nurse. A few minutes later, the nurse was preparing her work station when she abruptly stopped and told [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] she wasn’t going to do the implant. [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] was confused. The nurse showed [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] the pregnancy test… it was positive. [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] was ecstatic but scared that this pregnancy would end the same way as the last. She went home and told [name_m]Keith[/name_m], who was overjoyed but also shared her anxieties. The couple remained worried throughout the pregnancy but their rainbow daugher, [name_f]Myla[/name_f], was born on a sunny [name_f]May[/name_f] morning and the family was complete! As [name_m]Keith[/name_m] and [name_f]Niomi[/name_f] drove home from the hospital with [name_f]Myla[/name_f], a bright rainbow beamed in front of them and for the first time in a long time they were happy.
