God listened... he is now 14 and a very healthy minor hockey player, who is 2 inches taller than his mama!! <br /><br />Keep doing what you are doing! Your children are beautiful - I can see their personalities in their pictures. You're doing a fabulous job - so attentive and present - and you will, in time, (maybe when they're 2" taller than their mama) wonder why you worried. :) Lisa A.http://www.twitter.com/runrgal2noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-13432949821702055972013-03-26T22:10:05.793-05:002013-03-26T22:10:05.793-05:00Thank you SO much for commenting!

I haven't read all about the quads and how early they were, but I wanted to reach out to you. I'm a mom of twins who were born preemie at 33 weeks. They were both diagnosed FTT at 13 months and also had speech issues ("twin speak"). Today, they are 11.5 years old. We still deal with some issues from prematurity, and they are never going to be the biggest kids on the block. One weighs 50 lbs and the other 60 lbs. But, they are healthy and smart and the greatest blessings. Our current pediatrician has no issues with their size; they are who they are and have huge, healthy appetites. Keep up the good work! God bless!SuperAYLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03427174279344082471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-61887560875723245082013-02-26T23:03:44.843-06:002013-02-26T23:03:44.843-06:00Thank you for the kind compliment!

I'm not affiliated with it at all---just have had success with my own family and also a cousin's baby (who has Spina Bifida) and is seeing great results. If you Google it, you should be able to read up on it and watch some videos.Cherylhttp://www.zootravelguide.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-55956951309096336432013-02-01T22:24:48.462-06:002013-02-01T22:24:48.462-06:00God has definitely answered that prayer!

I loved that you updated us in detail about each child along with the picture. We miss seeing you at Church. Am looking forward to the Sunday you are able to get out again. Before and after they were born I was praying for Elijah specifically and I remember praying that he would have a sweet spirit and would get along well with his spiblings as well as others. God is so good and has answered that prayer. Keep up the good work. <br /> Raymanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-31288183931517204502013-01-28T16:23:38.641-06:002013-01-28T16:23:38.641-06:00Aw, thanks for sticking with us and praying for so...Aw, thanks for sticking with us and praying for so long!

My son is 17 months old so I frequent mommy blogs more than I used to and is is encouraging to read from a godly woman how you deal with everything God has given you. Thank you for updating with how the kids are doing! Will continue to pray for you all.<br /><br />Haha, I just read the comment above mine and am pretty sure your Rachel K. is my Rachel who brought you up for prayer in the first place!Beehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15031927389186468920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-91390223504920057622013-01-25T14:13:34.984-06:002013-01-25T14:13:34.984-06:00Absolutely loved the update!!
