Here are some updates from my good friend Caleb and his wife Heather on Facebook. He is also a SG member and my photographer for the set:
Caleb (Thursday)
Yesterday, my wife and I got the news that she is carrying 15 week old conjoined twins. We will know more on Friday after a more detailed ultrasound.
Those of you who pray, would you please pray with us that God would perform a miracle and allow us to see two, healthy, separated babies tomorrow, and that 2). whatever we see on the ultrasound, that God gives us the grace to be the best parents we can to these babies.
Thank you for all your support. I am feeling your love.

Yesterday, Caleb and I found out that I might be carrying 15 week old conjoined twins. We'll know more Friday at noon after a more detailed ultrasound. Would you join us in praying that 1). God performs a miracle and allows us to see two, healthy, separated babies tomorrow, and that 2). whatever we see on the ultrasound, that God gives us the grace to be the best parents we can to these babies.

Thank you, friends, for all your love and prayers. The babies are definitely conjoined through most of their trunk. They have separate hearts and stomachs, but share a portion of their spine. Because their spine is partially exposed, the likelihood of their survival is almost zero.
We plan to see this pregnancy through for as long as possible and ask for your continued prayers for our family. Please also pray that we can pay for all the medical costs; insurance does not cover any of this.
If this does not break your heart and make you wish and/or pray for them, then here is what you may want to know regarding SG. He is my photographer. I started up on this site for him. We had been talking about doing another set soon and organizing it. Obviously that's not going to happen very soon anymore. I might try to get someone else to do the set with me, but I don't want to take this away from him. He's the one who made it happen, talked me into it, and made me fall in love with this site. He's trying to reach the point of being a professional SG photographer. So I'll talk with him and figure out where he would like to go with this next.
For those of you who are genuinely concerned, I very much appreciate that and I'm sure he does as well. If we find a way to help him out with the costs of medical bills, I will be sure to post it on here in case anyone would like to give. If you know CalebKing make sure to message him and send him your love and/or prayers.
The chances of this happening are incredibly unreal. As a twin who had difficulties when I was coming into this world, I probably take this more to heart than most would. But I hope you do as well.
Thank you for your support.
