Cydney Cooper quickly went from a mom of two to a mother of four when she gave birth to twins last month while her husband was overseas. Days later, she got the surprise of a lifetime.
Her husband, Skyler, was deployed in Kuwait with the U.S. Army when his twin girls were born on January 24. Their premature babies spent 12 days in the NICU before a nurse arrived with a surprise guest. It was Skyler.
Skyler had been deployed for a year and wasn’t able to make it home for his daughters’ births. But on February 5, he made it back to Kansas.
A family member filmed Skyler tiptoeing into a room behind Cydney as she cradled one of their newborns in her arms. She burst into tears when she realized the man in military fatigues was her husband, holding a bouquet of flowers.
“1 year of crazy, 1000s of miles, 1 solo pregnancy and delivery, 48392 Skype calls, some superheros, a few plane rides, 12 NICU days, tons of help from family and friends, and many tears later…. A soldier came home,” Cydney wrote on Facebook, sharing a video of her husband’s surprise.
