We just couldn’t let this stuff go …

Freeman celebrates his new ‘twins with a twist’ Freddie Freeman

found a way to top the double honors of winning the NL MVP and Hank Aaron Award.

The Atlanta Braves first baseman’s bigger thrill is having two new baby boys. He describes his babies,

and

Brandon Maximus Turner,

as his “twins with a twist.” The twist: They were born six weeks apart. Freeman’s wife, gave birth to Brandon on Dec. 30. A surrogate mother gave birth to Maximus on Feb. 14, delaying Freeman’s arrival to camp by about a week.

The boys join who is 4, to give Freeman three sons — and an extraordinary story of faith, perseverance and parenthood.

“Pretty special offseason, all the way around, baseball and obviously personal life,” Freeman said Tuesday.

“We’re a family of five now. It’s pretty amazing.”

Freeman said his wife was told she may not be able to have another child following Charlie’s birth by emergency cesarean section. The couple tried without luck for two years to become pregnant again.

“It just wasn’t happening,” Freeman said. “We chose the surrogate route and nine days before the embryo transfer, I come home from a workout and Chelsea tells me she’s pregnant. I was like just shocked. Not something we were expecting at all.”

The Freemans stuck with their new surrogate plan and prepped for two babies.

“It’s everything you could want and more,” Freddie said. “It’s such a crazy situation to try and wrap your mind around it, but when you’re in it and both boys are here it’s like the best thing that could have happened.”

While his wife is home with the babies, Freeman and several family members, including his father and grandfather, have Charlie in North Port, Fla., for spring training. He said being away from his babies and wife will make this “probably the hardest spring for me.”

It’s a small price to pay for realizing his dream of having a big family and seeing Chelsea give birth to her second child.
