there is a photo of us all when we were little on my facebook btw

 

Hi girls! Nice to see you all.

 

Hellooo nice to meet you too!

 

Hi! I was wondering how much do you fight with each other? My twin girls seem to fight with each other all the time.

 

Wow, you guys were tiny for being 36 weekers! Most 36 weekers weigh 5+ lbs. Welcome to Twinstuff.

Yeah, amazing, you'd think quads carried all the way to 36 weeks would be bigger, considering the average quad is carried to around 30 weeks and weighs about 2 pounds, 13 ounces. You ladies had an extra 6 weeks to grow in there! Do you know how big your mom measured when she had you? I know I measured at almost 50 weeks with just twins, born at 37+2, I can't imagine how big your mom must have been. But then, my boys were 6 pounds 8 ounces and 5 pounds 5 ounces, so I had a lot more weight than your mom with just my two.

Welcome to TS.

 

Many of us don't have my space or face book, is there any way to post a pic here in the forum? Just paste the properties on the reply page. I am sure being quints you parents were so proud and took tons of pictures! We would love to see what you all look like!

 

Cristina, I was going to say the same thing. I do not have a Myspace or Facebook account and do not plan on setting one up. I did want to comment on the 36 weeks and small thing. Jaydon was quite small for gestation (2 pounds 6 ounces at 32.6 weeks).

Heather,

That is small. My twins were 2 lb. 12 oz. and 2 lb. 7 oz. at just short of 29 weeks. They were considered average, not even slightly big for age.

 

Wow Heather, he was tiny! Aaron and Connor were considered big for their gestational age. They were 31.4 days and Connor was 4.2lbs and Aaron was 4.0lbs. They still had all the typical preemie issues and were in the NICU for 3 weeks, but looked so big next to all the other little ones.

(They did drop down to 3.5 and 3.2 after the first few days, but slowly went back up..)

 

Sounds like lots of fun at your house! I actually joined facebook because I was so interested in seeing your pictures but I didn't see any. Am I doing something wrong? Do you all have the same facebook account?

 

How neat, two of you have names that my girls have. My Bea's middle name is Annika and then I have an Ainsley but spelled a little different.
It is odd that you all were so small for making it all the way to 36 weeks.
Were you ever on any local news shows in Australia?

 

Brook/Cristina -

I hate to hijack this thread as it has absolutely nothing to do with my kids, but Jaydon's weight was always much lower than Jackson's (2 lbs 6 ozs 14 inches versus 3 lbs 9 ozs 15.25 inches). Jackson had a 3-week NICU stay and Jaydon had a 2.5 month NICU stay. Today they are 38 lbs and 44 inches and 42 lbs and 45.25 inches (yep, still maintaining 1.25 inches apart!).

I can't wait to see the quad pics, ladies.

Here are my questions for you:

1. Do you have similar interests (hobbies, favorite foods, etc.)?

2. Do you share clothes or are your styles very different?

3. Do you make similar grades in school?

Haha, we feel sorry for our parents sometimes. They say twin fights are the worst but they haven't met quads!

Yeahh, I guess we were just small kids. Pretty sure our parents were more concerned about keeping us in the word than worried about out weights at birth.

Nah, my mum wouldn't let us be in the news she didn't really like knowing that we were gonna all be headline news without even being in the paper.

Annnd I'm gonna let one of the others answer the other questions because I've answered so many!!!

 

Wow, that is tiny for 36 weeks. Especially the 1 pounder...how long were you guys in the nicu for?

ummm Azaria, Ainsly and i came out after 3 weeks and then Audrie after about 4.5.

also, i was gonna reply this to someones comment but i forget whos.
mum was in hospital about 2 months before we were born! because she was so big and sick, they were going to take us out early but they left it as late as they could.
mum hated being in the hospital for so long, because she had a 4 year old daughter at home.

 

picture
hehe our bums are sooo huge! we wore cloth nappies!

 

Cute picture, can't wait to see something curent.

Wow, cloth diapers with quads! That dedication! Did she use a service or did she do them herself?
