Watch the Premature Twins born at 22 weeks return home and celebrate a warm Christmas with their family

Talk about a Christmas List. There’s no end to the moments Jade Crane is looking forward to celebrating on Christmas Day.

Lifting her baby twins out of their cots on Christmas morning and whirling them round as they laugh — ‘with no tubes to get in the way’ — tops her wish list.

Watching them rip the paper off their presents is another, ‘even though they will probably be more interested in the paper’.

She’s even, Jade laughs, looking forward to scraping mushed-up turkey, carrots and sprouts off the floor.

• We’re having dinner with just the four of us, and we’ve said they can sit in their highchairs and make as much mess as they like.’Yes, Jade admits, she might have gone a bit overboard with the ‘Baby’s First Christmas’ thing, what with the personalised baubles, festive bibs, matching elf outfits and the mountain of gifts. But who can blame her?

  Her joy is palpable. Ditto the relief. Because while this isn’t technically Harley and Harry’s first Christmas, it is the first Christmas ‘our little miracles’ – as Jade calls them- have spent at home.

  Little wonder their mother wants to put bells on everything.

  It’s hard to quibble with the ‘miracle’ tag either because Harley and Harry are the most premature twins in Britain ever to survive. They were born in October 2021 when their mum was just 22 weeks pregnant — two weeks under the legal cut-off for abortion in the UK and at a stage that most doctors agree is incompatible with life.
