Introducing your 2026 Spartanburg Ambassador Family, The Sibleys
Finding out they were pregnant with twins was a shock for Kyra and Colton. Healthy, active, and reassured that di-di twins meant smooth sailing — no one expected their big baby boys would completely change the course of their pregnancy.
At 29 weeks and 5 days, Archer Eric (3 lbs 6 oz, 15 inches) and Axel John (3 lbs 4 oz, 15.75 inches) made their entrance into the world — and began a 73-day journey in the NICU.
There were no immediate cuddles. No sweet photos. No joyful announcement of weights and lengths. Instead, there were wires, oxygen monitors, feeding tubes, and one hour a day to hold their babies. In the NICU, milestones look different — an ounce gained, oxygen lowered, 10 milliliters from a bottle, the first bath, moving to a bassinet, passing the car seat test.
The NICU is traumatic. It’s isolating. It’s exhausting.
But it is also where strength is discovered.
Kyra and Colton became fierce advocates for their boys, learning to ask questions, trust their instincts, and celebrate the smallest victories. Archer and Axel fought every single day — tiny, mighty warriors redefining resilience.
Seventy-three days later, they walked out of those hospital doors carrying both of their boys. Heavier and lighter all at once. Forever changed.
Their story of hope and resiliency is why we walk. 💙
