Even if the likelihood of conceiving twins increased by 72 percent between the years 1980 and 2018, it is still an extremely rare occurrence.

There are around 33 sets of twins born out of every 1,000 babies born in the United States.

And how frequently do births result in the birth of sets of identical twins? There are around three to four sets of identical twins born out of every thousand babies born. Hence, once more, this is more of an exception than the norm.

When Savannah Combs, who was 23 years old at the time, found out she was carrying twins, she was ecstatic.

The fact that they both suffered from Down syndrome elevated the already exceptional status of the pair.

It was a foregone conclusion that the news would be extremely upsetting.

Savannah and her husband Justin Ackerman anticipated that some people would treat them and their children differently as a result of the circumstances they were in.

On the other hand, exactly because of this, in Savannah’s eyes, they are of incalculable value. She stated in an interview that “it’s pretty rare what they have, but they’ve been my little diamonds.”

After Savannah gave birth, she and her daughters Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman documented their experience on TikTok.

Savannah is from Middleburg, Florida, and both of her daughters are named Mckenli. As a direct consequence of this, they quickly garnered a following.

In one of her videos, Savannah has mentioned that she was counseled to have the pregnancy terminated due to the grim prognosis for the babies’ chances of survival.

She came to the conclusion that it would be best to keep them and give them the opportunity to defend themselves.

Savannah shared her thoughts, saying, “Each and every prenatal visit we had while they were alive was a source of delight for me.”

Her spouse was gone at basic military training at the time that she discovered that both of them had Down syndrome.

At the point in her pregnancy at which she was ultimately taken to the hospital to give birth to her children, Savannah had already completed 29 weeks of her pregnancy.

On May 12, 2021, the birth of Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman, who are identical twin daughters, took place.

Due to the fact that the twins were delivered two months before their due date, they had to remain in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for a considerable amount of time before they could go home.

In spite of the fact that they have a syndrome that is incredibly rare, Savannah claims that they are just like any other baby.

“They are not simple humans; they have feelings, just like everyone else. They are capable of having a heartbeat. They are able to communicate verbally.

They have the capability of achieving the same results as you do. As I’ve mentioned in the past, it’s possible that they’re going to finish it a step behind schedule, but they will.

In spite of their diminutive stature, these children have shown me that they can be both joyful and ferocious.

Savannah continues to document her children’s individual growth and development on TikTok by posting endearing videos and images of them when they reach new developmental milestones.

“I’m going to let them know that they’re just like us, and as long as they set their minds to it, they’re going to get there,” I said. “I’m going to let them know that they’re just like us.”
