| BILLINGTON THE MIRACLE TWINS BORN EIGHT YEARS APART. |
| EXCLUSIVE BY LUCY LAING.
THESE are the amazing twins - who were born EIGHT years APART.
Jasmine and Simon Billington were conceived at the same time with sperm frozen but Jasmine was born in May 2005 and her ‘twin’ brother was born in May this year.
As she cuddled her newborn brother in the hospital, Jasmine told her parents that she had waited such a long time for his arrival.
Mrs Billington, 48, a nurse, said: ‘They are theoretically twins because they were conceived at the same time - even though I gave birth to them eight years apart. |

| DUNCAN. A MUM FOR JUST 48 HOURS |
| Mum was so excited as she cradled her newborn daughter Rihanna.
‘Come and meet your new sister,’ she smiled at me and my sister Kayleigh, now 21.
She sat on the sofa with her partner Dean Yates, and she looked so happy and contented, just like a new mum should do. She’d only been back from the hospital for a few hours after giving birth and Kayleigh and I were meeting our new baby sister for the first time. |

| SWEET. HE WAS HER GUARDIAN ANGEL. |
| I looked at my daughter Tilly. It was a lovely sunny afternoon and she was playing out in the garden, but she was swaying about all over the place when she ran.
‘She’s running to the right all the time,’ I said to my sister in law Natalie. ‘It’s as though she is drunk.’
But Tilly was only two years old. There had to be some other explanation. |

| DREWRY. LOST NINE STONE THANKS TO NEW YEARS EVE PARTY PIC |
| WHEN Lorna Drewry saw a photograph of herself at a New Year’s Eve party, she was so horrified by her massive bulk that she has lost a staggering nine stone.
When Lorna, 32, had got ready for the party she had been thrilled with her new blue flowery dress.
But she hadn’t realised how massive she looked in it - until she saw the evidence of it a few days later.
‘I was so horrified when I saw that photograph,’ admitted Lorna, who lives in Sheffield. ‘I’d always struggled with my weight so I knew that I was big, but in that photograph I looked absolutely huge.
‘My dad looked at it when I was looking through Facebook and saw it too. He said I looked like Hattie Jakes, the character from the Carry On films, and I was mortified. I knew then that I had to do something about my weight.’
Loran had struggled with her weight since she left school but she says it never affected her confidence. |

| THESE are the three Christmas miracles - sent from heaven.
Anna Mitchell tragically lost four babies and thought she would never be a mum.
But when her own mother died, she left Anna some money in her will and she used it to pay for IVF treatment.
Amazingly she found she was pregnant with not just one baby - but three.
She gave birth to her triplet gifts from heaven in July - and the family are set to have their first ever Christmas together.
Anna, 30, from Mansfield, who lives with husband Nick, said: ‘ We haven’t bothered decorating our house for years, as there was just the two of us and no children to fill it. |
