In one of her\u00a0videos<\/a>, Savannah said she was told to abort her babies because they would not make it.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

She decided to keep them and give them a fighting chance.<\/p>\n

\u201dEvery [prenatal] appointment they were alive was a blessing to me,\u201d\u00a0Savannah explained.<\/p>\n

When she learned they both had Down syndrome, her husband was away at boot camp.<\/p>\n

Savannah was 29 weeks pregnant when she was admitted to the hospital, and delivered her daughters. The identical twin girls,\u00a0Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman, were born on May 12, 2021.<\/p>\n

The twins arrived two months before their due date, so they had to spend several weeks in the NICU before they came home.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They\u2019re 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,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMo di twins as it is, it\u2019s like very rare. And then you throw Down syndrome on top of it, it\u2019s like one in 2 million.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite their rare condition, Savannah said they are just like any other child.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThey have feelings. They have a beating heart. They know how to talk. They know how to do things you do. They will get there,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike I said, it may be a step behind but they\u2019re going to do it. I\u2019ve learned these kids are feisty little things and happy little things.\u201d<\/p>\n
