Karen, a full-time mom at 33 years old, welcomed her son Cameron on September 1, 2018, and her daughter Isabella on September 15, 2020.
She remarked, “It feels іпсгedіЬɩe to have twins born two years apart. We are overjoyed to have a son and a daughter, even though any healthy baby would have been a blessing. We never wanted Cameron to grow up as an only child. He’s a proud big brother who absolutely loves his little sister and is always asking for cuddles.”
“Some days I feel like I must be dreaming after all those years of trying,” Karen expressed.
Karen and her husband, James, 35, who is a company boss from Taunton, Somerset, got married in 2014. They encountered difficulties conceiving, and Karen was diagnosed with fertility іѕѕᴜeѕ.
In 2017, they received funding for one round of IVF from the NHS at the Bristol Centre for Reproductive Medicine. Karen shared, “We had five embryos created. ᴜпfoгtᴜпаteɩу, I had a miscarriage last year. We now have twins, and I’ve always dreamed of having four children. At the very least, there will be a six-year age gap between Cameron and the last child, but it could be even longer—children don’t come with an expiration date, so to speak.”
Karen went on to explain that the twins are not identical, although Isabella’s embryo nearly resulted in identical twins due to splitting. She added, “The remaining embryos could also split, resulting in identical twins or even triplets, so we might end up with sextuplets!”
