My Twin Sister Is A Dwarf!
Monday 13th February 2012 | Annalisa
Sierra and Sienna are 13 year old blonde haired, blue eyed twins. But they aren’t like other twins. Sienna has primordial dwarfism, making her 4ft while Sierra is 5ft 1.
Mother Chrissy Bernal didn’t even know that she was having twins until six months into her pregnancy because Sienna, who weighed just over one pound at birth, was too small to show up on previous scans. She has the learning age of an eight year old due to rare brain abnormality. She was so tiny that when she was born that a wedding ring could fit around her arm!
Chrissy used to dress her in dolls clothes and could hold her in one hand. She said, “Sienna doesn’t let it affect her- when she comes home she’ll often shout ‘Dwarf in the house.’” The girls go to the same school, though Sienna attends special needs classes. They claim to be just like other sisters- going shopping, doing make up and talking about boys. They help each other out and Chrissy said “I’m so proud of both my girls.”
