Identical twins are a miracle all by themselves. Births like this happen three or four times in 1000.
Savannah Combs, a first time mother, learned she was carrying twins. She and her husband were overjoyed by the thought of welcoming two babies.
Everything went well with the pregnancy and the couple learned they were expecting girls. However, they also learned that their identical twins both had Down Syndrome. The news came as a shock at first, but Savannah, 23, soon realized that the condition only meant that her girls would be super special. She didn’t mind they would be born with the syndrome. Of course, she was aware that there would be people who wouldn’t accept her bundles of joy, but that didn’t concern her a great deal.
“It’s very rare what they have, but they’ve been my little gems,” the proud mother told News4JAX.
Once the girls were born, Savannah and her husband Justin decided to share their journey on TikTok. The two tiny beauties, Kennadi Rue and Mckenli gained a number of followers on the social media where Savannah posted about each of the milestones they reached.
In one of the videos she shared on TikTok, Savannah revealed how doctors advised her to terminate her pregnancy because the chances of her girls to survive were slim, but she decided to give them a fighting chance. As it turned out, she did the right thing. ”Every [prenatal] appointment they were alive was a blessing to me,” Savannah explained.
They were born five weeks prematurely and had to spend some time at the NICU. Today, they are nine months old and thriving. In fact, they are just like any other baby out there.
“They’re called mono di twins, meaning that they had their own sacs, but they shared the same placenta, meaning that they were going to be identical,” Savannah explained.
“Mo di twins as it is, it’s like very rare. And then you throw Down syndrome on top of it, it’s like one in 2 million.”
“They have feelings. They have a beating heart. They know how to talk. They know how to do things you do. They will get there,” she added. “Like I said, it may be a step behind but they’re going to do it. I’ve learned these kids are feisty little things and happy little things.”
She loves showing the world that having Down Syndrome doesn’t necessarily mean the life of those people is in any way affected negatively.
“I’m going to let them know that they’re just like us and they’re going to get there as long as they put their minds to it.”
Of course, there are always those who post negative comments and judge Savannah for keeping her babies.
”I wouldn’t want those babies; if mine came out like that, they would be straight up for adoption,” one person wrote under one of the videos. However, this mother had just the right answer for the mean person. “I said, good thing they weren’t born to you and were born to me. God knew what he was doing by giving these babies to the right parents who would love them regardless,” Savannah replied.
These girls are truly happy for having a mom like Savannah who wants to raise awareness about Down Syndrome and teach the world that those who have it can lead a happy and fulfilling lives, just like her two beautiful angels.

A Woman Who Married A Ragdoll Says Life With Kids Is Complicated
There are many ways to find love. And it’s not always easy. This woman found love in a very unusual way. Now she has news that will shock everyone…
Being married to 37-year-old Meirivone Rocha Moraes made news all over the world. She is from Brazil. What made her wedding famous all over the world? The person she picked to marry! She married Marcelo, a life-sized rag doll.
It is said that the pair now has three children. a son named Marcelinho who is 1 year old and twin girls named Marcela and Emilia who are 1 month old.
Meirivone says that her family life is no different from the lives of any other mother and wife. On TikTok, she tells people about her life. They have split up their parenting chores evenly between the two of them, she says. Marcelo, on the other hand, thinks about how to pay the family’s bills.
She also talks about how hard it has been having kids. “It’s not easy but at the same time, I get emotional every moment, every second. In everyday life, Marcelo and I have a lot of tasks with the new babies, as well as looking after our first child. And even when I’m tired, he helps me bathe, eat and sleep.”
Even though Marcelo is stressed out, she says that everything they have is worth it. Meirivone said, “He always dreamed of having a family and children, even though he looked forward to many things.”
These days, the couple wants to own their own house. Adding, “My dream now is to own my own house,” she added. “Since our wedding in 2018, I’ve been scouring the internet every day. I won’t give up,” the determined mom of three explained.
There are some problems with the connection that make it stand out. Their lives haven’t always been smooth. Meirivone told Marcelo he had cheated on her that June 2023. It wasn’t the first time he did it. She punished him by putting him to sleep on the couch and taking out his private parts.
Their child Marcelinho was taken in February 2023, and a $200 ransom was asked for. Since then, he’s been back with his family, and he was also there when they told everyone what kid they were having.
