It was an incredibly difficult time for Ruth Shrauner during her pregnancy. She did not become pregnant easily, eventually when she brought these twins to the world, they were a real miracle.

At first they were overjoyed with the new borns until their excited Family came in and saw them like this ... Read further on the next page to find out what the family discovered.

In 2014, Ruth told Ben that she wanted a baby. Ben wanted this too but was not satisfied with the circumstances at the moment, due to financial problems. He was currently working over 70 hours a week to make ends meet and thought he might not be a good father yet. He wanted to give his child everything, especially love and time, but he was afraid he could not do that.

So, Ruth decided to do something that changed her life for good.

She switched careers to get out of debt and quickly became known as a well-known and popular sports coach. She went after her dreams and she succeeded. This allowed Ben to be the father he wanted to be, so they decided to try to have children.

They started trying at the end of 2016, but unfortunately, this did not work, even though Ruth thought she was pregnant several times. She never expected that she would succeed immediately, so they kept trying and were disappointed again every month.

More than a year later, they still hadn't succeeded, and they both began to worry that they could never have a child...

After four unsuccessful treatments for intrauterine insemination (IUI), the doctor advised switching to IVF with two eggs, uncertain whether even one of them would prevail.

Finally, after 24 months of trying, the pregnancy test was positive, and Ruth discovered that she was pregnant. They even did several pregnancy tests just to be really sure! Ruth and Ben were, therefore, shocked when they discovered that they were pregnant with twins. But then, they did something utterly unexpected ...

Ruth and Ben were overjoyed at the news and wanted to share it with their loved ones who had helped them during the difficult period. But they decided to tell everyone about only one of the babies and to keep the other a secret, as a very special surprise ...

They became experts in keeping the twins a secret. For example, they told the family that they needed baby stuff for only one child, while secretly collecting twice of everything and keeping the nursery locked.

Ruth even went so far as to post updates and photos of her baby belly on Facebook and pretended not to know why her belly was growing so fast ...

In July 2019, Ruth gave birth to the twins. The couple was overjoyed and in love with the babies from the first second. They had a boy and a girl. Ruth called the family, and they came immediately, still not knowing the surprise the couple had in store for them ...

The moment their loved ones stepped into the room, everybody was in tears. Ruth's father got the surprise of his life when he saw that he had both a granddaughter and a grandson. Fortunately, they recorded all reactions in a hilarious and emotional video, which you can see on the next page.

With this video, the Shrauner family went viral. They made it into British and American newspapers with the story. Luckily, everything went well with the babies, and they are a cheerful and funny pair of twins!
