Carlos finds it easier to adapt to his chaotic new life as the father of NᴇᴡʙᴏʀɴꜱQᴜᴀᴅʀᴜᴘʟᴇᴛꜱ thanks to the encouragement of his family and America. Meet Erica, Carlos Jr., Tracy, Paisley, and Paisley.
But until a few hours later, after all, four infants—three girls and one boy—had been born without incident, did 36-year-old Erica have hypovolemic sʜᴏᴄᴋ, an emergency condition brought on by significant ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ ʟᴏss. She ᴘᴀssᴇᴅ ᴀᴡᴀʏ at 1:50 am on January 16.
I was unable to breathe. The moment Morales’ life turned into a nightmare, he recalls, “I couldn’t speak.” Morales is from Phoenix, Arizona. Without her, I wasn’t sure how I would make it. But now that it’s been over five months, I know why I’m still here.
These infants have yet to understand the blessings they have bestowed upon me. They, according to Carlos, have given him four compelling reasons to live.
She doesn’t cause any issues for me. Her siblings may pick up a few tips from her. Tracy almost always has a huge smile on her face, especially after eating. Erica used to call Tracy “poundcake” because she was the first child to weigh a pound during the pregnancy.
Carlos Jr. and his siblings were rolled up in their little blankets like a burrito. The tiny boy, who is a little quieter than the others, has a calming effect on the other quads. Carlos speculates, “I have a feeling he’s going to be a protective brother.”
Erica was the smallest child of the four when she was born, weighing only 2 pounds 10 ounces. Like her mother, Erica enjoys sleeping and relaxing, according to Carlos. Until the morning when she developed a habit of screaming nonstop.
Little coloured cotton balls were supplied to the hospital by her mother’s friends so that everyone there could distinguish Erica from Paisley, her twin. Erica’s cotton ball is green, the colour that her late mother Erica loved.
Paisley, who was similarly little at birth as her twin, is now healthy and incredibly attentive; her eyes are continuously open, and she is constantly scanning her surroundings.
Although she doesn’t love sleeping as much as her twin sister Erica does, the two of them both cry a lot. Pailey, who has a yellow cotton ball around her ankle, actually has a habit of sobbing right after waking up.
