On September 5, 2008 I gave birth to 4 beautiful babies Samantha, Bridgette, Theodore "Teddy" and Madeline. Nine days later on September 14, 2008 Madeline was called to Heaven. So begins my journey of raising my Quadruplets as Triplets. They will always be my Quads!!

5 Weeks Old Today!! :)

Today was the day I was hoping to carry the babies until, but God had another plan for us. God wanted us to meet Maddie, see her beautiful face, learn her spunky personality and to feel her warmth before he called her home to Heaven.

​Here are some 5 week updates!!

Samantha - She finally did it and today made it to 4 pounds!! YAY!! She is doing fantastic and just feeding and growing. Today was the 3rd day in a row that she latch on during practice nursing session. Way to go!!


Bri​dgette
- Has made it past the 3 pound mark, she is 3 pounds 2 ounces. Way to grow Bridgette!! She is still in the Isolette, had a blood transfusion today, most likely her last one. YAY!! The transfusion is completely normal at this point and not a major concern. She will most likely remain in the isolette until late next week. She is doing great. Daddy held Bridgette today!!



​Teddy - He stopped trying to keep up with Samantha and his weight is 3 pounds 6 ounces. Teddy also had a blood transfusion​, most likely his last one. His hemoglobin was slightly low. I got to hold Teddy for a long time today, took some great photos of him with eyes wide open!!

Y​esterday my Dad called me to let me know how very ill my Grandpa is and said that I should try to see him if I can because he will not be here much longer. My Husband and Dad had not let me know how extremely ill he was, they wanted to protect me during my bedrest and when we lost Maddie. Tomorrow we will be taking the 3.5 hour drive (one way) to see Grandpa for a couple of hours and come back home.

Please pray for strength for my Grandma as they have shared over 62 wonderful years together.

Thank-You for the many prayers for our family.
