We Wanted A Daughter - But Four New Babies Arrived | MY EXTRAORDINARY FAMILY - video Dailymotion

Truly

RONJERA was shocked to learn she was having triplets… Then she found out she was having quadruplets. Ronjera and her husband Carlos had three sons Carlos Jr., 14, Christian, 8 and Cameron, 4 and wanted to try for a daughter. Ronjera said: “We had been hoping and praying for a little girl for about eight years now. I love my boys dearly but I truly wanted to know what it feels like to have a little girl. I surely did not expect quadruplets.” They became a family of nine when the now four-month-old quads Ariyah, Aniyah, Cayden and Carter arrived. When Ronjera shared she was expecting quadruplets online, a lot of people were shocked and questioned if they had gone through fertility treatments. But this was a very rare case of spontaneous conception quadruplets. She said: “Actually, the doctors were asking me if I did any fertility treatments. I’m like ‘wouldn’t it be in my file?’” The family describe day-to-day life as ‘unpredictable’ as they balance looking after their children, work and homeschooling. Ronjera added: “I do not want to have any more kids. I am done, that shop is closed. I wanted one girl, God gave me two and two more boys to love on so I am grateful.”   Donate to the family’s Go Fund Me here - https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-quadruplets-family-get-a-van   Follow the family across social media:  https://www.tiktok.com/@abrahamsquadsquad  https://www.instagram.com/abrahams.quads  https://www.youtube.com/@abrahamsfamilyquads  https://www.facebook.com/Ronjera.Abrahams    With thanks to Jessica Tanner Photography for their work featured in this project - www.jessicatannerphoto.com

00:00We tried for a girl and four babies arrived.

00:03Going from three to seven was a huge change for us.

00:05Around seven weeks they told me triplets.

00:08We had already processed it,

00:10and they were like, you're actually having four.

00:12The doctors was asking me,

00:13did I do any fertility treatments?

00:15I'm like, wouldn't it be in my file?

00:16People were saying mean stuff,

00:18saying that we're on government assistance,

00:19just assuming that we're just out here,

00:21just wanna have a million babies.

00:22My friends and family were very shocked.

00:24I'm still shocked.

00:25Y'all got four babies.

00:27I didn't think y'all would have any more kids.

00:29I didn't think y'all would have any more children.

00:33Let me get you a pacifier,

00:34because you about to cut up.

00:35I see it.

00:36Hold back up.

00:37Where'd the pacifier go?

00:39Oh, here it goes.

00:40My name is Ronjara, and I am a mom of quadruplets.

00:46You're in a pacifier for you guys.

00:47Good.

00:49I'm Carla.

00:50That's my mom.

00:52That's my daddy.

00:53I'm gonna find four pieces.

00:55Hm?

00:56Go sit down.

00:57That's Chris and my brother.

00:59And that's my little brother.

01:02And that's all of my siblings.

01:04Did you always want a big family?

01:07I did not.

01:08I did not want a big family.

01:10I think, max, I wanted three kids,

01:12and my husband only wanted one.

01:13So you want chicken nuggets for breakfast?

01:15We got married at 18 and 19 years old.

01:21And so we've literally been raising kids since we got married.

01:24Going from three to seven was a huge change for us.

01:27How does the start of your day compare to before you had clients?

01:32We have to figure out balance, because before, of course,

01:36you know, all of our other kids are older.

01:38So we're able to kind of just get up and go.

01:40Now we've just figured out a method to where she just gets up a little bit earlier

01:44since I'm going to work.

01:45We have truly tried to really lean into each other.

01:48Communication is everything.

01:50When you're finishing your breakfast,

01:52we're gonna start homeschooling, okay?

01:54Well, I got to go to work, so I'll see y'all later.

01:56All right, see you, bitch.

01:58Christian, you are not about to eat all that food.

02:01Yeah.

02:03Day-to-day life is unpredictable,

02:06but I try to at least have a schedule sometimes.

02:10Can gladly take him.

02:11By the time it's time to start school,

02:13the quads have already eight,

02:15then I can go ahead and transition to starting homeschooling,

02:17and typically I'll have to have at least one baby.

02:20Right now, there isn't a, like, great balance between it,

02:24but I just make it work with the time that I have.

02:26Like, right now, they're quiet, they're chill, so let's do school.

02:29Okay.

02:3121 verse 8.

02:33I really enjoy homeschooling,

02:35and I feel like it helps them to be, um...

02:39I keep losing my focus.

02:44So, I remember Carlos just looked at me shocked.

02:47Like, he just looked at me.

02:49And then Christian, he's like,

02:51four plus three, that's seven.

02:53He's like,

02:54why am I gonna have seven babies?

02:56Tell us what your, uh,

02:58new brothers and sisters are like.

03:00Guys, so, they're, like, just sweet.

03:04The boys are amazing.

03:05They love their baby brothers and sisters.

03:06I don't feel like there's any jealousy.

03:08Be gentle.

03:09Be gentle, putting her down.

03:11They help me out a lot around the house.

03:13Most of the time, I don't have to ask.

03:14They truly love doing it.

03:17Good job, Carlos.

03:19How far along were you when you found out

03:25there were gonna be quads?

03:26Around seven weeks, they told me triplets.

03:29We had already processed it.

03:31We was okay with it.

03:32And they were like, um, no.

03:34Um, you're actually having four.

03:36I'm laughing because there's four.

03:38What?

03:39Yeah.

03:42I thought they said three.

03:43No, there's four.

03:45Are you gonna pass out?

03:46I can't handle it.

03:47No.

03:48As soon as they told me, I came home,

03:50and I walked two miles,

03:52and I cried going a mile down and a mile back.

03:55What's wrong?

03:57What's wrong, sweet pea?

03:59I believe it was my husband's response

04:02that truly helped comfort me in that moment.

04:04I was like, what are we gonna do?

04:05And he was like, we're gonna take care of them.

04:07And honestly, it still hasn't hit me yet.

04:09Like, every day, I still look at them,

04:11and I'm just like, I cannot believe I carry quads.

04:14Mr. Dimple Man.

04:15Mr. Dimple Man.

04:16Mr. Dimple Man.

04:17Oh, nice and nice, pretty girl.

04:20I love their outfits.

04:22Is that fun for you?

04:24Yeah, I love Courtney.

04:25Well, especially because I got girls.

04:28After having three boys, that's exciting.

04:30We have been hoping and praying for a little girl

04:33for about eight years now.

04:35I love my boys dearly,

04:36but I truly wanted to know what it feels like

04:39to have a little girl.

04:41I surely did not expect quadruplets.

04:44These are the girls' outfits.

04:45They have matching everything.

04:48And then the boys, I try to coordinate them as well,

04:52a matching shirt.

04:53We get a lot of release support from our online community.

04:57A lot of people help out with donating things.

05:01Before I got pregnant with the quads,

05:02I had an interior designer page,

05:05and I had a page that I would use for my salon doing hair.

05:09She can go in the front.

05:11And then when I got pregnant with the quads,

05:12I realized that I would no longer be able to do hair

05:15or do interior design.

05:17And so I branched off into being a content creator.

05:22When I shared online that I was having quads,

05:24a lot of people were shocked.

05:28I got a lot of people saying, like, no way.

05:30Like, and I'm like,

05:31I wouldn't lie about something like that.

05:33I have a lot of people that ask me,

05:35did I do any fertility treatments or anything like that?

05:40And it was all natural and spontaneous.

05:42The doctors shocked.

05:43Actually, the doctors was asking me,

05:45did I do any fertility treatments?

05:47I'm like, wouldn't it be in my file?

05:49A lot of people think that I'm lying and that I did IVF.

05:52They do not believe it's natural.

05:54People were saying mean stuff,

05:55saying that we're on government assistance

05:57and stop using the government.

05:58And just assuming that we're just out here,

05:59just want to have a million babies.

06:01And that wasn't the case.

06:02I had to be very careful

06:03with not internalizing how people felt towards it,

06:07the negative towards it, and put it on me.

06:08Like, oh, wow, yeah, I am having IVF.

06:10Like, oh, this is shocking.

06:12Like, can I do it?

06:14I'm so grateful that they're all healthy.

06:17I don't take it personally at all.

06:19It's a major change for us, for my family.

06:22Our support system is not that great.

06:25We don't really have much family here at all.

06:28Right now, my friend is able to come over

06:30and help when she can.

06:31We made it.

06:40Hey, sis.

06:42How are you?

06:43Good.

06:44Thank you for coming.

06:50Carter, you're looking real chunky today.

06:51What's up with it?

06:52Is it the brown?

06:55So, friend, remember when I first told you

06:59I was pregnant with quads?

07:00Remember when I called you on the phone?

07:02I didn't think y'all would have any more kids,

07:04so it's like, wow, they're about to have four more

07:07from the three.

07:09I remember you called me, and you was like,

07:11friend, you was like, I don't know.

07:12You was like, this is a blessing.

07:15And you was like, I know it's a lot.

07:17Y'all will be all right.

07:19I definitely have my days where I feel overwhelmed,

07:24and you always constantly send me encouraging words,

07:28and I definitely appreciate it because, yeah,

07:31the weight definitely gets heavy.

07:32It definitely gets heavy, for sure.

07:36But I see your strength, and I know how strong you are.

07:39Even before this, no matter what life throws at you,

07:41you've been powering through it.

07:44I think you are doing a better job

07:45than most people would handle it, you know?

07:47Some people would fall apart.

07:49But even now, you're still getting up,

07:50going for your walks, and taking care of you,

07:52and that's important, you know?

07:54How would you describe it as parents?

07:58Well, they're great parents, you know?

08:02They work well together.

08:04Having four newborns is, like, challenging.

08:07And no matter what, I don't care who you are,

08:09it can be tough, but I think they're amazing parents,

08:11and they're amazing together,

08:13and I wouldn't see a better team doing this,

08:15you know, together.

08:16Yeah, thank you.

08:17It's still unbelievable.

08:18I know.

08:19Y'all got four babies.

08:21It's insane.

08:23For the future, I see us on acres of land.

08:28I just see a lot of laughter and joy and connections.

08:32I like to just see them grow like it's four babies,

08:34and they all have their different milestones.

08:36I don't know, I just love them.

08:38Would you like to have any more children?

08:40No.

08:42I do not want to have any more kids.

08:45I am done.

08:46That shop is closed.

08:47I wanted one girl.

08:48God gave me two, and two more boys to love on,

08:51so I am grateful.

09:12With all my children.

09:20And theП came in, and it really fit over your energy plan.

09:23So that's how we made more families to enjoy those things.

09:28What we can do is please wait until we fix the table we fit on the table.

09:32For the people who put that family for the table,

09:34and care for you, near the table,

09:35it's lovely or you see at our table,

09:37so we'll sit on an acha of the table.
