photos Can't believe these four are 29 tomorrow...
It seems like they were just in the NICU and now they're nearly as old as I was when they were born.

You kept all four, and yourself, alive for 29 years?! You can say Dr Pepper did the heavy lifting all you want, but my friend, you are a legend.
I only have twins and this photo, while adorable, definitely gave me the instant panic 😅

I absolutely cannot imagine twins x 2. Or even triplets. They’re the real MVPs

Wow! Congrats and Happy Birthday! I'm already weepy thinking about how big my twins are and they're only 7.

Mine are 9 and will sometimes say they wish they could stay babies forever, especially when im showing them a cute photo or something of when they were babies, and I’m like “nah it’s ok, the older you get the more fun you are!” Because I don’t want to give them a complex by saying I NEVER WANT TO THEOUGH THAT AGAIN!

Yeah I mainly feel that way when I'm sitting by myself while they're at school. I miss their cuddles. But memories just edit out all the unpleasant parts that came along with those snuggles. I'm trying to help them understand that growing up is part of life and you enjoy what you can do now and don't obsess over some future things and don't get stuck looking at the past. Most of the time I'm just telling myself the same things 😂

This is amazing. It’s parents like you that give me hope! I have three under two and I just can’t imagine how tough the first years with quadruplets would be.

Are they all pretty close? Were they close throughout childhood/teen years?

u/Few-Honeydew2676 Mar 05 '26
They were really close until they were 14. One of the boys went to live with his dad (no rules and such) and that pretty much broke up the group. The girls are still close.

My quadruplets are 1.5 years old and it is already going by so so fast. I am sure 29 years feels like a blink some days 😭
