The miracle trio arrived after
their mother Katie Preston and father Matthew Preston started IVF
treatment. They had struggled through five long years of waiting and hoping
that one day they will be able to conceive a baby. And when they started to
think that they would never be able to have children the fate gave them a
present three instead of one.
That’s how it happened, when
IVF failed to work, the couple turned to ICSI or intracytoplasmic sperm injection where an embryologist chooses
a sperm and injects it into an egg, resulted in five eggs from the same
menstrual cycle being fertilised and then frozen. One was immediately inserted
into Mrs Preston’s uterus. Nine months later she became a mother for the
first time.
After awhile the couple, who
had always dreamed of a big family, decided to try again. And two years
and five days after Ethan, she gave birth to babies Isabel and
Arthur. Despite the time difference in when the three children were born,
Katie says she and Matthew think of “their three little miracles” both as twins
and a big brother and as triplets.
“We gave everything
to it, it was our whole focus. As a
couple it can make or break you, and it can be very stressful at times. But the
support I got from Matthew was amazing. At
the moment Ethan is going through the terrible twos, and the babies are only
three months old. But I know when they are older they will all have a special
bond as triplets,” happy wife and mother said.
