TWINSINTHENEWS
Brodie and Dylan Pawson, identical
twins and parkour experts from
Queensland, are heading to the Australian
Ninja Warrior semi-final together. Dylan will
be facing the challenge first.
Brodie told News Corp, “We’re pretty similar
in all aspects. If Dylan does well then I’ll do well
and vice versa, so that gives you confidence.”
A
brain-dead mother has successfully given
birth to twins after doctors managed to
keep her alive just long enough to deliver
them safely.
Twenty-one year old Frankielen da Silva
Zampoli Padilha died after suffering a stroke in
October last year. She was kept alive on life support
for 123 days — the longest time recorded
in medical history.
The decision to try and save the twins — only
nine-week-old embryos at the time — was
made by doctors at the Nosso Senhora do Rocio
hospital in Campo Largo after discovering that
the twins’ hearts continued to beat inside their
mother’s womb.
The twins — a boy and a girl — were born at
seven months in February this year. Muriel Padilha,
the twins’ father (24) said that the birth of his
children, Asaph and Anna Vitoria, is ‘a miracle.’
A
couple who lost their two young sons
in a car crash in 2015 are now the proud
parents of twin boys. Gentry and Hadley
Eddings from North Carolina welcomed Isaiah
Dobbs and Amos Reed into the world on July
10. The twins were given their middle names in
honor of the brothers they’ll never meet.
Gentry is a worship leader at Forest Hills
Church in Charlotte, while Hadley teaches preschool
at the church. The pair say that their faith
helped them through their tough two years.
Beyoncé has allegedly hired 18 new
employees to help out after the arrival
of her twins, Rumi and Sir Carter. The
newborns now have six nannies, two maids,
and a 24/7 rotating team of nurses. Bey even
has a financial investment advisor to set up
trademarks and trusts in the babies’ names!
