The Short of It
Just 13 months after losing their conjoined twins, a Georgia couple is overjoyed by the birth of their new baby boy!
The Lowdown
Robin and Michael Hamby gained national attention in December 2014 after welcoming conjoined twins, Asa and Eli. The boys were joined at their sides, a condition known as dicephalic parapagus, and shared a torso, arms, and legs. Doctors warned the Hambys their sons' condition meant they could not be separated and had little chance of survival. Sadly, they died less then two days after being born.
But within months, Robin was pregnant again. And on Monday, she gave birth to Seth Michael, a healthy baby boy! "He has eaten and pooped and all the things you want babies to do," she told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Michael credits the couple's faith with helping them move on after the death of their twins to their next stage of life.
"The Lord blessed us with Asa and Eli last year, and we miss them dearly," he said. "God is good, and he decided to bless us again with Seth."
The Upshot
What an amazing story! I think we could all learn a thing or two from the Hambys' positive outlook in the face of such heartbreaking tragedy.
"Let me tell you something, y'all," Michael said following the death of his sons. "I love the Lord even more than ever. I'm not mad at Him. I'm not hurt or anything of that nature when it comes to my boys because I know they are in Heaven and they are waiting on me."
The couple also has a daughter, Selah, who will turn 3 this month
