Holli Gorveatt was thrilled to be pregnant with twins, but when she went into labor early, doctors realized that the babies shared a single placenta.
In order to save the babies' lives, doctors delivered baby Link — who weighed just 1 lb., 2 oz. when he was born 23 weeks into his mother's pregnancy. Meanwhile, his identical brother Logan is still in their mother's womb, and his due date is January 26, 2016!
For now, the parents remain hopeful and remain by Link's side at the NICU at EvergreenHealth Medical Center in Kirkland, Wash. Link is very fragile though, so even his parents can't hold him. Their only contact is through the incubator.
"I get emotional when I see him sometimes," Holli told KOMO News. "Holding his hand, there's some times when it gets pretty tough in there. But you want to watch him and even sitting in the room with him is awesome."
Gorveatt is on bed rest until Logan's birth, though she may not go full term. But if the identical twins are born four months apart, there's a chance they'll make the Guinness World Records for the longest amount of time recorded between the births of twins.
