My name is Helena Frisco. I am 26 years old and my husband is Joseph Frisco; he is 31. This is our twin story.
I met my husband six years ago. He had just spent the year prior battling Lymphoma. We started dating and, soon after, had the inevitable "How many kids do you want" talk, not knowing if we were going to have problems conceiving even if we did decide to have children due to the extreme chemotherapy my husband had to go through.
My husband told me that there was one wish he had when it came to having children. He said he was the youngest child of four kids and the only boy. Growing up he watched his friends play with their brothers and envied their relationships. He said, if there is one thing he could wish for it would be twin boys so they could have each other as best friends. I told him, knowing that I have no history of twins in my family, that if we ever had a boy we would try right away to hopefully have two boys very close in age.
We tried for over a year and a half to have a baby and finally I was pregnant. Boy, girl it didn't matter – we were finally going to have a baby.
