I met Isaac when I was 20 and he was 19. We were part of the same church youth group. At first, I didn’t think much of it, but he made sure I noticed him. He was respectful, kind, and had a smile that made me feel at ease. He often complimented me, and little by little, I started to see how genuine he was. One day, he asked me out for coffee. We sat for hours talking about life, faith, and dreams.
Not long after, we began dating. He was the first person I ever loved, and I was the first for him too.
We dated for three years before getting married in 2011 at a beautiful place in Mexico. Right from the start, we dreamed of building a big family together.
Still, we decided to wait a few years so we could buy a home, finish school, and travel.
By the end of 2015, we felt ready to start trying for children, not knowing how hard it would be. I had been diagnosed with PCOS at 16, which can make it hard to get pregnant. After months with no success, I started treatment. When that didn’t work, a fertility specialist ran more tests.
They found my fallopian tubes were blocked and I had early-stage endometriosis. Surgery was the only option. After recovering, we tried our first IUI, but it failed.
I was heartbroken, yet Isaac stayed strong and reminded me not to lose hope. In September 2017, we tried again. This time, I felt something was different. A home test came back positive. We were thrilled when the ultrasound showed twins, then shocked when later scans revealed triplets… and finally quadruplets. Four babies! The pregnancy went better than anyone expected.
I had no serious complications, no bedrest, and no gestational diabetes. From day one, we shared the hope of raising a large family. They spent just one week in the NICU before coming home, which is rare for quadruplets. Life with four newborns is exhausting and chaotic, but the joy is far greater. Each baby has their own personality, and we see them as the answer to every prayer we prayed.
Our journey wasn’t easy, but it taught us patience, faith, and gratitude. God’s timing was perfect. We waited years for our miracle and when it came, it came four times over.
