On Father's Day 2017, the couple welcomed Rainbow babies William and Leonardo into the world.

It drew the curtain on an incredibly tough three years' marriage.

During that brief time frame, Jacki experienced her second miscarriage – the most recent in July 2016, four hospital stays, an emergency flight to John Hunter Hospital, as she suffered pyelonephritis and hydronephrosis requiring surgery to insert a kidney stent while battling gestational diabetes. 

Ultimately she battled depression.

But the birth of their twins has helped overcome the heartache.

"It has been an amazing journey; a real rollercoaster," Jacki said.

"But we wouldn't change it for the world, we have so many people to thank for their ongoing care and support, our family doctor, Port Macquarie Base Hospital and of course our friends and family. 

"We are having the time of our lives right now. We are so lucky and we know it.

"As a family - which includes seven-year-old Xavier King - we like to think that we have a real balance going," she said.

The twins were born at just 37 weeks with William weighing 2.94 kilograms while Leonardo was a heavier at 3.18kg.

Nick described the previous 12 months as "awesome".

"There's been plenty of highlights," he said. "There have also been the challenges that come with welcoming twins into the world," he said.

"This has included, raising tongue-tied babies and also the breast feeding issues associated with twins."

Jacki also said the couple is suffering from sleep deprivation.

"I have also endured postnatal depression along the way and realised the importance of postpartum care.

"We are also getting the full realisation of the bond that twins share but also how different these boys are in looks and personality."

Jacki said the couple is also enjoying watching the boys develop and progress. 

"Part of meeting those challenges is the need for child safety and baby proofing to avoid and prevent injury," she added.

Jacki says there is also other lessons to learn including budgeting tips and making your own baby foods.

Since the twins were born, the family - the twins are baby half-brothers to seven year old Xavier King - have become peer educators with a not-for-profit community project called The Picnic Project.

The project is a local research program within the Mid North Coast Local Health District and helps educate parents to develop healthy food relationships with their tiny tots as solids are introduced through to fussy eating years, Jacki said.

"As obesity is such a huge issue, as is food relationships, this project was developed to firstly do research and we are still seeking more participants and secondly empower parents through education," she said.

"So it's something I've jumped on board being so passionate about healthy lifestyles and healthy children."
