In case you haven't heard we're having Quadruplets!!(All Boys) We are 29 wks today! It still seems like yesterday when we saw the ultrasound pictures which showed the four heartbeats. We are currently in Scottsdale, Arizona under the care of Dr.John Elliott, the nation's leading expert on higher order multiples.(triplets,quads,quints,sextuplets). The national average for delivery is 28-29wks. His average is 32wks and his endpoint is 34wks gestation. That's why we came to the desert!Kelly is doing as well as can be expected. We are staying in a condo in Scottsdale about 25min from downtown Phoenix. The people in our bldg. are friendly, mostly retired couples. The daily routine has her eating at least 5000 calories a day, wading in the pool, and watching her abdomen expand beyond belief!
I'll try to post more photos as the foursome develops. Until then I hope to post daily and keep folks up-to-date. The "shortness of breath" issue with her causes her to sound as if she's running a marathon during most conversations. Thanks for the support and prayers. TMM

Hi Kelly and Micheal. What a nice surprise! I haven't spoken with you guys in quite some time and now I know why. I wish you all the best Kelly; you and those precious little boys. Please, give me a call as soon as you deliver and catch your breath (smile). I will pass the message onto Toya as well. God Bless.
Congrats to our favorite buddies -- Kelly, Michael and Michael II. We are SO happy for you both. May God continue to bless you and the quads. Keep us posted. We are always thinking of you. Tell Little Mike that he will be GREAT big brother.
Love Always,

I came across your blog from the Life of Suz to the Wilkinsons to yours. I have a personal blog for my singleton and a parenting site - babyblogaddict.com - for people like me who are addicted to following baby blogs of friends, family and strangers.
Congratulation and lots of prayers to you and your family.
I've heard of Dr. Elliott and wondered if families expecting higher order multiples actually moved to him in Arizona, so I guess you are proof that they do. He sounds like an amazing doctor for amazing deliveries.
Looking forward to following the rest of your pregnancy and the birth of your quads.
