“It’s very rare what they have, but they’ve been my little gems,” she shared. Savannah, from Middleburg, Florida, decided to document her post-pregnancy journey with her daughters Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman on TikTok, where they quickly gained a loving following.
Sadly, Savannah was told by some that she should consider aborting her babies because they wouldn’t make it. However, she chose to give them a fighting chance and cherished every prenatal appointment as a blessing.
When Savannah learned that both her daughters had Down syndrome, her husband Justin was away at boot camp. At 29 weeks pregnant, she was admitted to the hospital, and on May 12, 2021, she gave birth to identical twin girls. Due to their early arrival, Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman had to spend several weeks in the NICU before they could go home.
