#CelebratingAppalachia #twins #havingtwins
My mom 2as a twin. I remember seeing a picture of my grandma holding each twin girl on her knees and she looked like she had been run over by an 18 wheeler. I asked her how come and she said "you take care of 2 babies with no electricity, no running water, no disposable diapers and have to make your own baby food and let me see how sun shiny you turn out." Those 2 girls turned out to be a handful. 😄❤
😀 That was hard job! Thank you for watching!
@@CelebratingAppalachia Bless her heart! REALLY!

Hilarious response 🤣🤣 and so accurate
TIPPER 🫂 you had to be worn out from insomnia. How awful to not be rested just before the start of THE BIGGEST JOB OF YOUR LIFE 😬
Your husband seems like a very patient kind man.
"Mothers bring children safely INTO the world , fathers prepare children FOR the world!" For both, it's the hardest work there is but the most beautiful and important work there is. God bless you both!
Thank you for watching 😀
I had two boys, but they are singletons. I will never regret having kiddos. They are a continuous blessing.
"… and police are out there when you take those first steps out into your frontiers of the world alone!" …, I would add. ua-cam.com/video/1xp0HW0ciQ4/v-deo.html #emilyLinge👩🏼🚒
Matt saying “ thought we we’re having a litter” actually had me laughing out loud’😂
God has definitely blessed y’all with two precious girls.
That was hilarious
I laughed so hard when Matt said that! 🤣🤣
When I tell you I was GIGGLING!!! Lol too funny 🤣
😂 litter 😂Matt since of Humor 😅
I loved your story. I am a twin myself, I have a twin sister. My parents were 42 years old when they had us to add to the 6 they already had, needless to say we were not planed but a blessing to them as they got older we were there to help them.
How wonderful 😀
I'm thankful for good Christian families. They bring up good citizens.
My daughter had twins almost 15 years ago. She never had any morning sickness, but her babies wanted to come early, and she had to have the same "stitching up" you had. They were born naturally, a boy and a girl. They were small, both just at 5 lbs., but have done well all their lives. Twins are so special. It's almost like one mind in two bodies at times.
Being a grandma is the best!! When they say it’s so different when you have a grandbaby, nothing truer has ever been said. When your raising your own kids, you love them to death but you’re so busy being a mom making sure they behave and they’re going to school and they are safe that you really don’t have time to enjoy all the special moments, but when that grandbaby comes along, it is a love and joy like no other you truly get to enjoy every single moment and yes, wind him up and then send them home ❤😂
@lauramaldonado5591 you are so correct I have raised 5 children and I have 5 grandchildren and you explained the difference between being a parent and grandparent the best I have ever heard it be explained.
The look on Matt's face "who didn't want them" priceless I was laughing out loud! Bless that woman's heart who mailed you that picture, you looked happy...Matt looked in shock hahaha. Love you all!
So true and such fine point about that woman, the thoughtful stranger who had presence of mind to know what a sweet gift she'd be giving.
I'm still laughing! ...speak for yourself lol.
44:51 😄
Babies truly are gifts from God.
I was told for many years that I couldn't have babies. At 38 years old God blessed me with my son. I, too, was high risk, but so worth it. He is my reason for waking up each day. 💙🙏💙
Thank ya'll for sharing, and God bless. 🙌
Wonderful!
Lovely to hear from someone struggling with fertility issues! ❤️
Thank you so much for telling us Katie and Corie's birth story, isn't it amazing how God always knows exactly what we need? We may think we know best, but God truly knows what's best for us, and He has blessed you and Matt with 2 beautiful Godly girls, that's saying something in this day and age when so many don't even acknowledge Him. You and Matt did a wonderful job raising your girls.
So true! Thank you 😀
Yikes! Sorry the pregnancy was so difficult, but so glad you’re all here and healthy. Those girls are very special. Y’all did a great job raising them.❤ Thanks for sharing your story with us.
I was blessed with twin girls 43 years ago. I had them naturally, one was head down and the other was sitting up inside me. They weighed 6.7 and 7.8. They also had their own language between them. They are also still very close. You and Matt brought back so many memories.
So wonderful!
My mom is a twin, born in 1949. They had their own language too! They don’t remember any of it, but their uncle recalled a few phrases before his death a decade ago or so.
Twin language .... well I was a twin and me and my brother did not have to talk ... just one look and we knew what we were thinking .... so yes it is a different language ....
You two crack me up! The look he gave you when you said you didn’t want them…priceless!! They are sweet girls who were raised by two pretty special people. Great story.
I loved hearing this story and the look on Matt’s face when you would tell events happening, Like he didn’t have a clue at times. So funny.
😀 Thank you!
Been there, done that and STILL do!
@@sharonbrame9613 Probably.
Glad Matt's 'fear' while seeing the ultrasound 'of a litter' was unfounded!!
Me too 😀
I'll never forget the ultrasound technician saying "Well there's definitely two." To which we replied, "Two of what?"
We were thinking two arms, two legs. She looked at us and said, "Don't you know you're having twins?"
Bless you Tipper, you really endured so much to bring those babies into the world. Thank goodness everything worked out well, those young ladies are a joy to so many! Thanks for sharing your story with us!
Thank you Ethel!!
LOVE YOUR NAME!!! ❤❤❤
@@HopeLaFleur1975 thanks!
I love hearing about your twins birth story. God always knows what we need. They are beautiful girls. 💞
I am the mom of 2 sets of natural twins, 9 years and 4 days apart. First girls then boys. We purposely waited to have a third child and when my doctor told me that I was pregnant with the second set my poor husband about passed out! We were excited. It was boys and we are older, more confident and better off financially. We brought them home and I was told that in the next year I would need a hysterectomy. I went to the hospital for my blood work to have the hysterectomy on the boys first birthday. I was pregnant!! We were so worried that it would be twins but it wasn’t. After all that careful planning we had 3 children in 19 months. Both sets of my twins I was blessed to be able to carry to term. The girls were 5 lbs 12 and 5lbs 15 the boys were 5:15 and 6lbs 1 ounce. 🎉They have all been a huge blessing but it was tough.
Thank you for sharing your story 😀
Well told story!
Years ago I worked with a girl who was pregnant with twins. She was as sick as you from the very first moment. Oddly, a girl in another office was also pregnant with twins. She was as healthy as a horse. Her only issue was how large her stomach had gotten. Thank you for the memories. I was pregnant with my daughter at the same time. Oh, to be young again. She just turned 37 and is a Major in the Army. She was born in an Army hospital too! Bless you both!
I would love to see more photos of y’all as the twins were growing up.
"What do you mean we didn't want them"....the look on Matt's face...priceless. "Speak for yourself".... What a great way to hear your story and thank you for sharing it. The girls are still a treat Tipper and the Doctor was right they are a blessing from God.
😀
Thank you for sharing your story of your daughter's Katie and Corey. God sure was with you when you carried your precious daughters they are both beautiful. I have a Katie, and she will be 26 this year. I had teenage boys 13,15,18 When I found out I was pregnant. I had Hyperemesis gravidarum as well. I had to have a Picc line put in. I was on three cancer nausea meds And was wide awake. So when you were telling your story Tipper My heart went out to you I It's so bad for you to be so sick. When I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, my hormones were messed up, and I was told I wouldn't be able to have anymore. I had an ultrasound done, but she curled up in a ball. I didn't know what she was, and so after she was born. When Matt was talking about Your daughter have a more of a pointed head that was my oldest was like that and I cried. My first one was ten pounds half ounce, and so having him naturally pointed his head. You, too, are the best, I love listening to your storytelling and watching the things and fun that your family has. The Lord is so good. Bless you all bunches today.
Thank you for sharing part of your story-I enjoyed hearing it 😀
I love how one of the twins said, we’re twins and we’re sisters too! My brother and sister are twins and a year and a half older than me. Mom had the 3 of us by the time she was 21! My sister is six minutes older than my brother and she never let him forget it! It was fun to see all the pictures!! The twins were absolutely adorable and Tipper’s so pretty!
It's interesting, Tipper, that you noticed differences in personality even before they were born, and that those personality traits still hold true. I never would have known that personality is so deeply ingrained, right from the start.
Matt cracked me up when talking about grandkids; "twist 'em up and send 'em home". That may be the next chapter of the Pressley family. I've heard that twins run in families. Wouldn't that be interesting?!!
Thank you Roland 😀 He is an expert at twisting the up 😀
My son was born with an extremely pointed head. I called him Tom Terrific (from Captain Kangaroo) and made myself cry. Thank you both so very much for sharing this beautiful story. ❤
A friend of mine said that his first daughter had such a pointed head that she looked like an alien. 😂😂
Funny. I’m a triplet and my two brothers look like identical twins. They often have conversations with people they don’t know. They love playing games at parties and swapping shirts etc. I’m a girl and was always taller than them so I looked like an older sister. Your story reminded me of my Mum and Dad, getting over the shock of having multiples. 🥰
It's only been a few days ago that I ran across your channel and your daughters' channel. I appreciate the work you are doing in celebrating family heritage, mountain life and music, the old ways, and the spiritual aspects of your lives. So much of what I have watched so far seems so familiar to me and really rings true, as I myself was raised by good parents in a family of honest, hardworking, spiritual people. We never had a lot of money growing up but Mama and Daddy worked hard to provide and loved us even harder. And they made sure to always teach us right (even though maybe I didn't always listen like I should have). I believe you and your husband have done a fine job of raising two wonderful young ladies.
Welcome and thank you so much!
Y'all did and still do a wonderful job as parents. The world could use alot more parents like y'all. I think they just hilarious and always have me cracking up. 😂❤
AGREE!
This is a fantastic re-count. I chuckled when Matt said "Still is" about the adjustment to twins. Its great to have such caring medical professionals. Only have only Daughter. Wife's doctor was fine until after birth, then did not seem to care when problems, it was my Military Chaplain and his wife, who helped out, and the good Folks from our church, along with community care staff. Nearly 40 years on, two top grand kids keep us on our toes.
Looking back, Tipper, You and Matt are blessed to have Katie and Corie.
Oh my gosh I lived that right along with you! It brought back memories of my girls
I loved hear the story about the twins. It was well worth the wait.
So glad you enjoyed it 😀
I loved this birth story. I too had Endometriosis and had to have 1 tube and overy removed. I was also told if you want children, it's now or never. I ended up having two, 17 months apart and then a complete hysterectomy. It was tough those first few years but now (age 40 and 41 - boy and girl) they are really close friends. God is so good!
Love hearing Matt talk. He's funny. Maybe he will interact more.
Thank you for watching 😀
Thank you for sharing such an amazing personal story with us all. So glad it all worked out well! ❤❤ My son is a gift from God also. My best friend and her husband, who had two children together already, offered to conceive a child for me after 7 rounds of failed fertility treatments and 4 years trying to adopt. I am so very grateful. He is the answer to my prayers. ❤
I loved hearing the story of the girls. Tipper you did a great job raising those girls. You should have written a book on “ how to raise your children” I’ve always heard kids don’t come with an instructional manual but this world would be a much better place if everyone could have read your how to book.
You are so nice-thank you!
The picture of Katie & Corie at 36 minutes into the video is so precious! They're just beautiful...those big eyes and rosy cheeks are absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for telling us your story.
Thank you Beth!
Omg, the imitation of the nurse who said "figure it out" sounded so much like my Aunt who's from around Banner Elk. Made me smile!! The sweetest, nicest, toughest lady you'll ever meet!
This is a great story, brings me back to my wife's pregnancy and our son's very difficult and dangerous birth. OB/GYNs are truly miracle workers!
You two are just as adorable as when your twin babies were born. Looking at both of you, it's easy to see how Corie and Katie wound up with such beautiful eyes! How awesome is it that the woman wound up taking that photo and mailing it to you!?!? It was fun watching Matt as you spoke Tipper.. He was a combination of remembering things and even filling in some of the questions you asked him, but then every once when you'd bring something up to him and he'd give you that...."If you say so" look. 😄 LOL!! Precious family.
😀 Thank you
Yes, they are a miracle. There have been some key things that they have said on their channel that have really impacted my life, right when i needed it. I'm glad they came along! The comedic side, the love they have, and their genuine wholesomeness is refreshing. But it's been Corie's YT Shorts about the Bible that have lifted me to Jesus and helped me reset and rely fully on Him. Often have rewatched those, too. What a fun story. Thank you for it.
Thank you!
What a precious story. 💕
Thank you so much for sharing this, I enjoyed it tremendously. Beautiful family.
I had to come over to my laptop and tell you how much I appreciate all of your videos! I watch all of them on my smart tv and give you a thumbs-up every time! I just got done with watching the debt video and yt put me in to this one about your pregnancy automatically and I am so very glad they did! I had to tell you that I am laughing and then crying and laughing again at the dry humour AND SMILES BY YOUR HUSBAND! GREAT STORY. THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Wow, thank you!
Katie and Corie are a beautiful response to your love and God's abiding grace and favor! Two amazing gifts in one! God is so good!!!
So sweet! No twins in my family. Corie and Katie are such blessings to all of us.
How nice-thank you so much!
What an incredible story. I cannot imagine. Thank you for sharing Tipper and Matt. Tipper, you did power thru and gave your babies a good healthy start!
Thank you Robin 😀
Wow! My story is similar to yours in ways...after years of trying to have a baby and numerous problems, including surgery, I had a beautiful daughter born by C-section. I took a fertility pill to conceive...the chances of having twins or more was very real. I call my daughter my precious gift from our Heavenly Father...I prayed for a girl with dark hair and blue eyes and that is what God gave me. Her father was sure I would have a boy. She is now 53 years old and the love of my life, a wife, mother and grandmother. She and her husband with their youngest son live in southeast Tennessee, across the mountain from y'all...at one time they lived in Fayetteville, NC and Enterprise, AL...serving the Lord and doing so well. Your girls are a delight, love watching them interact with each other on their videos. Thank you for sharing your story.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing your story 😀
My story is like yours. 12 years of trying and I finally got my carrot top girl. Just what I wanted and is she a hoot! I adore her. Daughters are 💖.
This is such a charming story. I’m sorry you had so much trouble during your pregnancy and I’m glad everything turned out well.
Matt is So 😂Funny
This video is so wonderful. Thank you both for telling the story of your precious children's birth and Tipper thanks for inserting the pictures. You and Matt were so young! When you imitated Katie with her head to the side in every picture, I couldn't breathe for a few seconds I was laughing so hard. But you looked just like her picture! They are both so precious!!
😀 Thank you Barbara! So glad you enjoyed it
I always wanted twins. But being that sick isn't necessarily from twins, I was also that sick with my first baby. I got down to 89 lbs. For weeks and weeks I couldn't keep anything down. So glad you had them and they are here! ♥
Tipper you and Matt have made me cry and laugh at the same time. What a precious story❤
Such a delightful story Tipper and I can just imagine what Matt will be like with Grandchildren...lol!!! Children are always a blessing!
Beautiful story ♥️.. I
Pregnancy and giving birth is such an amazing journey! A true miracle. On a sound note, your twins look just like Matt!
Sharing your stories, your girls, your family and your lives with us, is so special to me, thank you.
What a wonderful recounting of your twins. I laughed when toward the end of the video, Matt’s reaction of “who didn’t want them”. ❤
😀 Thank you!!
@@CelebratingAppalachia you're very welcome.
I watch this channel constantly, I’m also from the mountains, and it always hits me, when you both talk about your children, both you and Matt shine with happiness, and I am convinced that your whole family is blessed. By your own love of family and The Lord!!! Wonderful video.
Thank you so much 😀
Loved hearing this. I can totally relate! Our fraternal twin boys will turn 26 this coming Friday. Mine were preemies. Didn't get the cerclage procedure quick enough. They weighed 1lb 13 oz & 2lb 3oz. By the grace of god and newer technology to help with their lung function, they made it. Our miracle boys for sure. If you would have asked if we wanted twins, we would have said no too! lol. I get that! Wouldn't trade the experience now for anything in the world!
I'm so glad they were okay!! True miracles 😀
This is such an incredible story! The love you both have for your girls shows in your smiles! How blessed you all are! 💞💞
My oldest son is 36 and Dr. Lynch was my doctor , He did my C-Section , but he induced me at 5 am that morning and by 9 pm I haven't even dilated ! he said let me go eat supper and then we'll do the C-section LOL but bat then you wasn't allowed to have your husband or nobody back there with you and that was so scary I had never been in a hospital around babies or nothing I was worse than Loretta Lynn 😉 bless your heart you had a hard time , but now you got two beautiful daughters and God can work miracles ♥️
Love that he was your doctor too 😀 So glad everything worked out for you! I would have been terrified without Matt 😀
Love your puppy's and there Music they are a blessing with their music.
This was so wholesome thankyou for bringing us all into your family. love you all and wish you all so many blessings
We know what you mean Tipper! Such the sweet story. Thank you for telling it to us!
Wonderful story! My wife and I have 3 kids and I have so much respect for her and all women for the delivery experience!! If it was up to us men there might be 10 or so people on the whole planet 😅😅😅. God is good and blessed y’all with two wonderful daughters!!
We have twin daughters. When they were born, we had a 4 year old son, at the time. It was quite a journey. My wife had fertility issues, as well. Now, we’re grandparents and loving every minute of it!😊🇨🇦
That is wonderful Gary 😀
What a wonderful story of the birth of your precious two girls! My grandmother was a twin & I had hopes for having twins but it didn't work out that way for me. I'm so glad that wonderful woman took the picture of you & Matt & the girls before you left the hospital. What a treasure that must be for you. Matt's expressions are hilarious as he thinks back on that time in your life. Thank you for sharing such personal times in your lives with us....people you don't even know. Hugs!
Thank you!!
What a precious and awesome life story! Two precious miracles you shared with the world! You guys are so Blessed with 2 beautiful souls, inside and out! Thank you so much for sharing your story and your beautiful family with us!!!
You are so welcome! So glad you enjoyed it 😀
Wow. What an experience. Amazing! My mom had 3 sets of twin sisters. Researching family history, I found 2-3 sets of twins almost every generation back as far as I could trace to 1643.
Wow that is great 😀 A lot of twins!
My Grandmother had 4 sets of twins and 4 singles. Now’s there’s a story you should hear
Amazing!
That’s such a great story of y’all having twins. So funny when Matt says what do you mean we didn’t want them I laughed . Knowing you didn’t really mean you didn’t want them 😊
😀 Thank you Krissy!
👯Twin daughters have an action packed story! Tipper, and Matt, I can imagine the conversations between yourselves as you learned along the way!
I have enjoyed listening to y’all’s story about having twins. I have twin granddaughters. They were born at 24 weeks. The doctors didn’t give my son and his wife no hope of their survival. The girls and God have proved the doctors were wrong. One of the twins has special needs, and Cerebral Palsy on her left side, but she has overcome a lot the doctors said she wouldn’t ever do. The doctors said she would never walk, never talk that she would be blind and wouldn’t ever be able to do anything. She is not blind, she can walk and talk. She can run and keep up with her sister. She and God have again proved the
doctors wrong. They started school at age 3 riding the little short school bus to classes for premature babies for 2 years. Then they were moved to a different school to start Pre-K. They are 10 years old now and they are in separate 5th grade class. One is in a special needs class and the one is in a regular class. They both sing in the youth choir at their church
That is so wonderful! Thank you for sharing their story 😀
You make a good story teller, and knowing it's true, makes it that much better .
Thank you Travis 😀
I have an identical twin sister and we have always been best friends! It's a wonderful relationship. My Pawpaw called us This-in and That-in! We were born 7 weeks premature and didn't walk til we were 2 years old. My Mom had our brother when we were 19 months old! Three babies that needed alot of care...truly a handful! Your girls are very beautiful young ladies.
So wonderful 😀
My son and daughter-in-law had unexpected twins. Boys. They are fraternal but look identical. What a crazy ride it has been. We had to search far back into her family and ours to find twins anywhere. Their twins just turned 4.
We live in Athens, GA and know of these specialists in Gainesville. Such a sweet story. God had such a great purpose in giving you those sweet girls. Love your stories.
I was deathly I’ll with my first pregnancy. The slightest thing that smelled would make me puke and I lost 12 lbs in my first trimester. It was only one baby! Thank you for sharing your story.
That's wonderful a surprise that blessed your life !! When we are so young starting off in marriage its seems overwhelming, but here they come ❤️
Your girls show such truth & tender-heartedness that comes from knowing God ❤️
They are starting their relationships on the right footing....marriage .
My two were born in 1976 (very premature) and when second came 1980 we had a "heads up" that I had a incompetant cervix.....and the journey is similar to yours...one doctor at my doctors office could perform the same surgery.... I was at 1.5 cm at 4 months. a very scary time for us. Both boys are loved and miracles to me, a 70 year old woman. ( I am using son's computer now) Tipper and Matt..and girls...ya'll are so precious!
Thank you! So glad your's were okay too 😀
Such a blessed time in your life. I know it was difficult for you and Matt, but you did it and the girls are so precious.
Loved your story! My first grandchildren are a set of twin girls. Such a special experience! ❤❤
Wonderful! Glad you enjoyed the video 😀
What a wonderful gift from God!! Ya'll bring so much joy to us as you share your life, but I think this video has been the best so far!! I laughed so hard when ya'll was telling about the ultra sound and when you said ya'll didnt put the babies in the car seat right. Tipper you sure had a rough time, Oh my the lady screaming would have terrified me if I had heard that when I was in labor. My paternal grandmother is a twin, they were born in Oct. 1918. I remember being so scared as a new first time mom, I can't imagine bringing two home. Loved the photos you shared on screen. Ya'll sure was and are such a cute couple!!
Thank you!! So glad you enjoyed it 😀
Wow Tipper, you could have been telling my story almost. I was blessed to have one child as I had endometriosis. I ended up having a total hysterectomy at 23. I was so sick the whole time I was pregnant. I thought I would name her Mylanta because I drank so much of that stuff. lol I'm so glad God knows what we need. I was always hanging out at the horse stable while I was pregnant. My mom told my grandma "she will probably have that baby at the stable" and my grandma without skipping a beat said," Well Jesus was born in a stable." hahaha What a wonderful story!
Sorry you had to suffer with it too! So glad you had her 😀
I came for the pictures! Seriously, Corie and Katie were adorable babies! Thank you for the pics! ❤
Glad you like them!
@@CelebratingAppalachia So precious! They are just precious young women to be proud of! I had one boy who likely weighed as much as the 2 of them! ( 10lbs.)
Thank you for sharing your story. I love the addition of the photos. My daughter will be 27 this October too so our girls are the same age! I love yalls chemistry. You can still see the love after all these years and you raised two daughters that are such a breath of fresh air to this salty world.
Thank you 😀
Endometriosis and all that goes along with it is so much better understood today than it was years ago. I started having symptoms at 16 and finally at 40 had to have a hysterectomy and in between another 5 surgeries. You are so very fortunate to have been able to have children.
I'm sorry you've suffered with it too.
Y'all made me laugh out loud - when Matt said "we're having a litter of something..." so funny! I LOVE your ultrasound story. I can't imagine being so young and being told twins are on the way. But you two are such wonderful parents - your girls are a testament to that. My husband now watches y'all, too. He always says when he hears Matt talk and tell stories, that he reminds him of all of his friends from work - guys he really misses now that he's retired. So thanks to you both for sharing. God bless you and your family!
Thank you for the heart warming story about Katie and Corie. I haven't had a problem telling them apart since I started watching your channels. To me it's their personalities that set them apart. Again, thanks very much.
A son's a son till he takes a wife, a daughter's a daughter all her life. Irish proverb. God knows what is best. Thanks for sharing.
I know I’m a year behind on this one, but loved it. It’s wonderful y’all are talking about having twin grandkids-no clue at the time, you’d be getting the closest thing to that…two grandsons pretty close in age. Now Matt can “twist ‘em up” and send them back to Mama. 😁 Matt has such a dry sense of humor…he got ya on the “not wanting twins” -too funny. Of course I knew what you meant. God knew what He was doing with your “two-fer-one” deal…as sick as you were, you would have probably been one and done.
Twins are too good to be true! I had twins in 1990. I didn't have any morning sickness but had to go to 4 hours per day bed rest when I was at 4 months. I was working in the oilfield as a gas plant/oil well operator so I went on maternity early. They were fraternal boys. Oh my how I loved those babies!!! The first year was rough but I didn't care!!! I lost one when he was 19 and my heart aches everyday! I love stories about twins!
I was afraid someone was going to steal one of the boys when I was in the hospital. They wouldn't let me have both because of the C section so I made sure I had one of them constantly.
It looks like Katie looks like mom and Corie looks like dad. Thank you for sharing the story of your twins!
I'm so sorry you lost him!! Twins are amazing!
This was precious!!! Loved it! My Grandmother learned she was pregnant with twins as she was about to give birth at the ripe age of 44!!!! I couldn’t fathom! Love seeing the photos you shared! Thanks Tipper & Matt!
Both of you are such loving parents! They are blessed to have you in their lives.
Matt saying twist them up and send them home was hilarious! 😂
It was wonderful to hear the story of Corie and Katie's birth! I feel so old because when my son was born in 1975, there was no such thing as an ultra sound so I didn't know whether I was having a girl or a boy until he was born, the old fashioned way! My son is quite a bit older than the twins, so things were a lot different in the old days! Thank you all so much for sharing with us.Tipper, you look so much like Corie and Katie in the picture where you're holding them in the wheelchair!
Wow, what a story! This should be a video that y'all link to often, for any new subscribers. That sounded pretty rough. My kids are just shy of 15 months apart & we've been asked their entire lives if they were twins. I had a rough go of it with them separately, I sure am glad God knows all, because He knew that I wouldn't have been able to handle 2 at the same time. Thanks for sharing with us. -much love from NJ ~Mary & fam
Thank you 😀
Awesome story
Thank you for sharing this with us!
As you told the "we're sisters too!" story, I thought about how Corie and Katie title their channel "The Pressley Girls" as opposed to "The Pressley Twins", as if to indicate that the general fact that they're from the same family is more important than the specific circumstance of having been born at the same time (well, two minutes apart to be precise).
I am riveted to this story. Wow! A few things: So much respect and admiration for your Matt, he's how men should be IMO. And also WOW, what you went through to have those babies. I laughed so often during this, we're close in age I relate to so much of this and Tipper you have such a gift for describing things. Those girls, so beautiful and truly a gift from God. Thank you for this! This was so good.
Wow, thank you!
What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing!
Thank you for sharing your families story!!!!
