Moan's newborns weighed just over a pound apiece, measuring less than a foot long. Even now, extremely premature infants often face health challenges or lifelong disabilities. When twins Dylan and Hayden were born 23 weeks into Moan's pregnancy, they were what's called "micro-preemies" - babies born so prematurely that until recent years they almost certainly would not have survived. "You just instantly get thrown back into this gut-wrenching situation where you just don't know what to do, and it takes a few seconds for me to breathe." "When I come across that same soap it just stops me in my tracks," she said. Ten years later, the smell of the industrial cleaner commonly used in hospitals still hits Kristin Moan hard, reminding her of the harrowing days after her daughters were born.
