I love reading the “About” section of everyone’s blogs. I love knowing a little bit about the person behind the blog. So, I thought I would periodically tell a little more about myself than what I have written in my “About” section.
This is me! I am 54 years old, happily married to Gary for 31 years, a special education teacher and a mother of 4.
These are my beautiful children. This was taken at their college graduation party a few weeks ago. Yes, all four of them graduated from college at the same time. They are quadruplets.
From left to right: Meredith, Rick, Tracy and Shannon.
Here we all are shortly after they were born almost 24 years ago. My husband and I were functioning on very little sleep.
This was taken on their first birthday. I love this photo! It makes me smile every time I look at it. 
My children are a gift from God that I am abundantly thankful for every single day. My husband and I were praying for children for four years. My doctor discovered that I was not ovulating regularly and suggested I take Clomid – a fertility medication. I took Clomid for four months and still no pregnancy. So, she said, “Let’s give Pergonal - another fertility medication - a try.” One shot of Pergonal and I was pregnant! I was so happy I was shouting it from the rooftops!
My precious little bundles arrived six weeks premature. The girls were healthy. My son developed an infants form of colitis called NEC, but fortunately he fought through it and won. Five weeks after they were born everyone came home.
It wasn’t easy, but I would do it all again in a heartbeat. 
Love, Terry 
Wow all at once, My sister had triplets, and I had twins, but that looks hard and rewarding at the same time. Congrats to them on their graduation. You must be very proud.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Yes, we are very proud of our children. You have twins! I love connecting with other mothers of multiples. My husband and I had the quads and six months later his brother and his wife had twins. Sort of like you and your sister. My in-laws had zero grandchildren and in six months they had six grandchildren. Life certainly is full of wonderful surprises!
DeleteThank you for visiting my blog! I am on my way over to yours now.
Have a wonderful day!
Love,
Terry
I had a friend who had 3 little boys. She wanted a girl soooo bad. After she had a miscarriage, she had problems getting pregnant again, so she took Clomid. She got pregnant and haaaaaaad: Twin Boys!
ReplyDeleteOh my, FIVE boys! God bless her!
