Living for the moment and making memories. Daily Archives: August 7, 2015. Starring, the babies! Well, not really starring, but the babies have booked their second paying gig. Let me back up. Months ago, a friend had tagged me on a casting call. They were looking for twin babies. What’s better than twin babies? Well, at least in the acting world. Having quads means you get 4x as many tries, 4x as much time. Lily- well she let everyone else do the work and got paid for it. Smart girl. I truly can see Mae ...

If lungs were trees | quadsinthesouth

Living for the moment and making memories. If lungs were trees. Here it is- summer- some very hot days and some nice days- and the babies are sick. For about the last week and a half, we have been fighting a viral infection: snotty noses, some coughing, horrendous acidic poop, diaper rashes–and teething. It’s very hard for me to see the babies sick. Don’t roll your eyes at me! Let’s take a quick look at this:. Do you see a slight different in the lungs? It’s painful enough that they gave them a nar...

The Birth Story | quadsinthesouth
https://quadsinthesouth.wordpress.com/2015/07/25/the-birth-story
Living for the moment and making memories. I was terrified. Worst case scenarios were running through my head and did NOT want to deliver my babies yet. I remember all the nurses were looking at me…they probably thought I was a pitiful site. My nurse practitioner was afraid someone had upset me- when in reality, I was panicking. I was a day shy of 28 weeks. I was hooked to a monitor for contractions and was being told I was going to be admitted to the hospital…and I was terrified. Wednesday, November 26,...

My heart hurts | quadsinthesouth

Living for the moment and making memories. Every day, I look at my 4 little miracles, and I know just how blessed we are. Being pregnant with quadruplets is something I will not take for granted. My body did something pretty freaking amazing. I carried 4 babies, in 4 separate sacs, with 4 placentas, in my first ever pregnancy, working to 24 weeks, to 31 weeks. As much as I cringe at 31, I know it was amazing. But let’s be honest…. Because in the past 2 weeks, 3 other quad moms have delivered their babies.

Living for the moment and making memories. Monthly Archives: July 2015. This one is hitting my hard. The past few days, leading to today, I’ve been- almost- sad. I don’t really know a better word to describe it. One step closer to being grown. My heart can’t take it. Babies- I prayed for you for years. I wanted you so desperately. My soul longed for you! I need you to slow down! So, tonight brought another opening to a new stage- solids and sitting at the quad table. I think it went well! I love everythi...

Living for the moment and making memories. Daily Archives: August 13, 2015. It’s an ongoing theme here. The babies are gaining independence…and so am I. It’s not that I can’t do things alone with the babies, it’s that I haven’t needed to. I usually have Paul. So, lately, I’ve been pressing the limits. And so- I’ve been determined that I can start to do more with the babies. I manage them at home, alone, for the most part. What’s stopping me from getting out and about? Then I had quads. And all I remember...

IN & OUT day | quadsinthesouth
https://quadsinthesouth.wordpress.com/2015/07/05/in-out-day
Living for the moment and making memories. IN and OUT day. That’s when you decided to come into our world with a bang. A day I will never forget. (Blog of birth story to follow). Babies, how panicked I was when I realized you were coming at 31 weeks 1 day. But your daddy was calm and collected. The doctors rejoiced and gave high fives…. And with 6 minutes of the first, you all were here. At 4 months old, we started braving the world- going places. And I continued to watch you grow. Now 31 weeks and 1 day...

Living for the moment and making memories. November 5…always a very significant day. 10 years ago, I had a scare. My life had been rapidly spiraling out of control. I was anxious and depressed- and I didn’t know how sick I’d become…. But what I was hiding, was how lost I felt. How empty I was. And how sick I was. In 2009, I met Paul. We dated. We married. And we looked to start a family. And after 3 years, we were finally pregnant. I did end up getting admitted for contractions- and doctors were able slo...

Living for the moment and making memories. A year ago I made a post about sleep. You can find it here: https:/ quadsinthesouth.wordpress.com/2015/09/28/our-conventional-unconventional-sleep-habits/. I was going through a bout of a couple good nights sleep, followed by awful. I reminded myself that eventually, it’d have to change…And it did. They typically sleep well. And they continue to develop just wonderfully. It truly DOES get better with time…. Now….since I’ve said that, I want to pr...I’m in an ama...
