Wil and Bekah have had a busy two years with their twins. Talitha and Paul have progressed right on schedule in terms of development and they are healthy, happy two-year-olds. Talitha enjoys running around the house pretending to be a ballerina, while Paul has his sights set on more manly things, like playing with the Fisher Price workshop he got last Christmas. Wil is still playing ice hockey and hasn't experienced any terrible injuries as of yet (a few sprains here and there, a mild concussion, and a broken pinky are all he's really had to deal with). Bekah began working part-time again when the twins were seven months old and could spend a few hours in daycare. Everything was going very well for the Thompson family. Wil was completely shocked when Bekah told him that she was pregnant again. They hadn't even been trying for another baby! At first, Wil wasn't too happy about having another baby in the house--he'd wanted to wait until the twins were in school before he and Bekah had another. Bekah, however, was very excited and couldn't wait for the new baby to come. Apparently, neither did the new baby. At 26 weeks, Eve Alazne was born, weighing just 2 lb. 5 oz. Wil and Bekah had originally picked out the name Rachel June for a girl, but after Eve was born, they changed what they decided to name her. When Eve was born, she was not breathing. The nurses and doctors got her intubated and she stabilized. Later on a grape-sized hole was found in Eve's heart that had to be repaired via surgery. After some more trying gastrointestinal issues, Eve was discharged from the hospital after nearly five months in the hospital. Wil and Bekah found it very difficult to manage because they both wanted to be at the hospital all the time, but Wil had to play games and Bekah had to take care of the twins. They both breathed a sigh of relief when Eve came home from the hospital and life resumed some semblance of normalcy. Doctors have cautioned that Eve may have some cognitive delays, but that she should be able to overcome them. Now, why Wil and Bekah changed her name from Rachel to Eve. They did some research while Eve was in the hospital and found that Eve means "to breathe" or "to live" and that Alazne is Basque for "miracle". They decided that it was a fitting name for her because she was living miracle.
