But at only 26 weeks&#8217; gestation, Kate went into preterm labor. In <a href=\"http:\/\/sfglobe.com\/2015\/03\/10\/jNa\/\">a video<\/a> detailing the birth she says it was the \u201cmost frightening thing\u201d ever.<\/p>\n<p>After giving birth, the couple learned they had both a daughter and a son, and the doctor asked them if they had a name for the boy, which they did: Jamie. Kate says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>[\u2026] we noticed the dynamic in the room was quite strange. [\u2026] He [the doctor] sat on the edge of the bed and said, \u2018Jamie didn\u2019t make it. We\u2019ve lost him.\u2019<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Kate instinctively grabbed her son and put him skin to skin against her chest so he could hear her heartbeat. She quickly instructed David to take of his shirt and get in the bed with them so that Jamie could have as much body heat as possible. There they stayed, skin to skin, telling their son about his twin sister Emily, and asking him to look after her. They cried as they told him about the plans they had for him and about his extended family.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd then,\u201d says Kate. \u201cHe started to move.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They quickly called in the midwives, who told them that Jamie was dying, and they needed to say their goodbyes.<\/p>\n<p>But Jamie had other plans. The newborn lifted his head. Then he grabbed his father\u2019s finger, and he opened his eyes. Jamie made it known to his parents and the medical team that he was most definitely alive. Everyone in the room was shocked and amazed at the miracle unfolding before them.<\/p>\n<p>Today, Emily and Jamie are healthy five-year-old kids with a younger brother named Charlie who is almost four. Kate calls their life \u201cbliss,\u201d and remarks at how lucky she is to have her children, knowing how close she came to losing Jamie.<\/p>\n<p>It wasn\u2019t luck, but motherly instinct that saved Jamie\u2019s life, and Kate continues to hold her children close just as she did on the day of their birth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After three years of struggling to get pregnant, Kate and David Ogg were thrilled to learn they were expecting twins.
