        On March 25, 2010, Kate and David heard the words every parent dreads: Their newborn wasn't going to make it. Their twins- a girl and a boy- were born two minutes apart and 14 weeks premature, weighing just over two pounds each. Doctors had 1 to save the boy for 20 minutes but saw no 2. His heartbeat was nearly gone, and he'd stopped breathing. The baby had just moments to live.

        "I saw him gasp(喘息), but the doctor said it was no 3 ," Kate told the Daily Mail. "I know it sounds 4 , but if he was still gasping, that was a sign of 5 . I wasn't going to give up easily."  6 , the couple knew this was likely goodbye. In an effort to 7 her last minute with the 8 boy, Kate asked to hold him.

        Kate 9 the boy from his hospital blanket and ordered David to 10 his shirt and join them in bed. The first-time parents wanted their son to be as 11 as possible and hoped the skin-to-skin contact would   12 his condition. "We were trying to make him 13 ." Kate said. "We explained his name and that he had a 14 that he had to look out for and how hard we had tried to help him."

        A 15 showed itself eventually, Jamie gasped again-and then he started 16 . "We were the 17 people in the world," David told today.

        Now, the twins are happy and healthy. The Oggs only recently told the kids the story of their 18 . "Emily burst into 19." Kate said. "She was really upset, and she kept 20 Jamie. This whole experience makes you cherish them more."
