On February 2, 2007 I became “Quatro Mama”, a mother to quadruplet boys: Henry, Brooks, Clark, and Isaac. Originally, this blog started as a way to keep family and friends on board with updates and prayer requests during our extreme high-risk pregnancy. Since then, it has “multiplied” into a collection of our adventures, sharing my love for photography, reflections of my faith, rewinds from our infertility journey, reviews of things we love, and our NICU Survival Kit project, among other ramblings.
We thank God for His immeasurable blessings and hope that our blog can be a source of encouragement to your faith as well!
I love hearing from “the other side of my computer screen”, so get in touch with me by leaving a comment, emailing me quatro_mama{at}yahoo{dot}com, or by following me on twitter @quatromama.
Thank you for allowing us to share this journey with you!

Hello, your kids are beautiful.
I am interested in buying the choo choo wagon with trailers if you still have it and they are no longer using it.
I run a daycare out of my home in San Diego and the kids would love to use it. =)
Please let me know.

Thanks for your time, Tammy
I love checking in on your crew. Those boys are growing and becoming handsome little men.
I don't know how much you keep up on new quad parents but I thought you'd be interested. Ben and Kari Hickey gave birth to their quads in Sept and just last week brought them home, just in time for halloween. You can check them out at http://benandkarisjourneytoparenthood.blogspot.com/
Enjoy!
I make the same carrot cake but I use baby food carrots. So much easier and the taste is the same.
Hello! I learned about your blog through a friend. I also have quadruplets -- three boys and a girl born August 17, 2005. It is so nice to see other people living a "quadrupally" nice life!
Hi so nice to find your blog, I too am raising four boys, what blessings they are. It's always nice to see someone else surviving it all as well so I am going to follow your blog.
Thanks for sharig your story..I live in the U.K and came across your site a few weeks ago, whilst searching for stories on quads...actually building up my faith..I am trusting God to answer my prayers re: having kids, despite medical complications (me & husband).
I am thinking of starting an e-journal as well, to encourage myself and others in this walk of faith.
God bless you Sis for sharing your story, indeed God is a great God, despite medical comlications!

Jen,
Just saw your story in the IndyStar. I am in your area, and would LOVE to help. I have a son who is in Confirmation who could also help (he needs service hours -- it's a win-win).
Contact me when you get a chance:
meguernsey@sbcglobal.net
Keep up the great work!
Hi Jen
I am really happy for you all, about the newspaper article - I hope it raises more awareness and support for the kits.
Have you thought about including a link on your site for anyone who would like to 'send a kit to a family' - I'm sure you could easily set-up payment via paypal. I trust God to enlarge your coast!
PS - I'd like to send a kit to a family.
God bless you from:

I saw a blog about your NICU Kits on Multiples and More and love the idea! I wish we had been receivers of these kits during our NICU stay! Our girls are now about 5 and a half months old but just 3 months old adjusted so we are pretty busy but I'd love to be able to offer assistance in some way eventually.
Until then I did have one suggestion...for Christmas my mom had got me these beautiful necklaces called, Preemie Purple Hearts. She got me one for each of the girls, to be worn by me on a single chain until they are old enough to have them themselves. The hearts come with a story of how they were started and they have such a good story. This might be something to look into adding to the kits. The website for them that is on the cards that come with them is http://preemiehearts.com/index.html
Just a thought! Good luck on such a great cause!
I have been following your blog for a while now, but never commented before. First, thank you for such a fun, open, and honest blog. I feel like you are family friends. I know your husband is starting his own business, but I wanted to let you know that Trends International (www.trendsinternational.com) is hiring. Not sure if this would be a good fit or not, but I wanted to let you know.
i've been trying to contact you regarding preemie hats/blankets for your NICU kits. please let me know if you are interested.
Next time someone stops you to take pics of the boys - and says "what, there are 4 of them?" - reply - "there's only 1...what do you mean? have you had your eyes checked lately?" ha! but I must admit, it was a pretty exciting event for all who knew you - and they are awfully adorable to make you want to just keep looking at them - afterall - I do check this silly blog all the time just to get a glimpse at those cute little peapickers!! :) (no not a silly blog - but you know what I mean) :) Keep the funnies coming - - love ya!
