Happy New Year! Role Call!!

Hello all,

Happy New Year from the Murray clan. We are so excited that our boys are still in the oven in 2007! Thank you for your prayers as we enter this new and final phase of the pregnancy, hospitalization. (Starting this Friday)

We know that there are a lot of you out there checking in on us somewhat regularly, but we really have no way of knowing who you are unless you leave a comment. I thought it would be encouraging to Jen to see just how many of you are out there checking this website. Would you be so kind as to leave a comment with your name, just letting us know that you are there. Even if you do not know us well or at all, we would love to know you are out there.

To leave a comment, simply click the word "comment 0" at the bottom of this post. Once there, click the "anonymous" option below the message, then type your message in the box provided. Please be sure to leave your name! :)

We love you all, thank you for your prayers,

Brad and Jen

Gosh, Jennifer, seems only yesterday I was giving you a bath as a newborn to help mother out a bit. This is so exciting. I will keep watching and let "grandma" know what I read. God sure knows who to give special babies to, and he will be with you all the way. Love and prayers!

I continually enjoy reading your updates, and you have challenged me to be so steadfast in my walk with God! I am amazed at your faithfulness! I'm sure there are moments when things seem overwhelming, but I know God has a plan for all of you in this! Thanks for being so open with everything! I love knowing how things are going! Hang in there- and God bless- I can't wait to read the blogs about the new developments in the babies once they are here! :)

Hey there! This is probably going to be super weird that someone you don't know at all reads your updates regularly! Here's how I found you. I have a very good friend who had mo-mo twins, who has a blog, linked to another friend with mo-mo twins, who is linked to your blog. Follow me? So one day surfing around I happened upon your adventure. I am also a labor/delivery nurse at a high risk facility here in Oregon so I know exactly what you are facing (I have worked high risk OB for 12 years). Just know that there is a whole L/D unit in Portland Oregon that is praying for a most excellent outcome for your family, mom, dad and boys. In all my experience I can tell you that beyond the science hope, faith and optimism are irreplacible and will add blessings you can't even imagine. Keep up the awesome work! Heather Roms

I check up on your family regularly too. I am also a member of the mono website. That is where I found your blog. Our family has one too that you may have seen.
I love the witness of your faith on your blog. I'm praying that you will have 4 healthy boys...but also that the Lord's will will be done. After losing one of my mono twins I have been on both sides.(of joy and hurt) Though the Lord did not allow my daughter to live...I still trust in the Great Physician.

Brad and Jen,
I read your blog regularly and also pray for you all too.

I think I am the one who has your blog linked LOL!

Your story, your faith and your four miracles are always in my prayers!

To Jen I have posted back and forth to Brad but have thought you often as well. The stress on your body, your mind and even your spiritual soul is difficult for sure. Sometimes the most suffering brings the greatest blessings. My experience with my MOMO twins has brought me more joy than I could have ever imagined, I truly feel that my cup runneth over at times with grattitude. Please know how many lives you are touching, your sweet boys are touching!

Hey guys, just a note from the Martin clan letting you know that you are thought of and prayed for often. Those four boys couldn't have landed in a better "pad" - you both will be wonderful parents.

I check in very often and you are in my prayers daily. I lost my momo twins at 16 weeks so I did not get to experience hospitalization, but I had mo/di twin boys last year and I am so excited for you two to experince double what I have the last year!!

Hey guys,
You've done so great! Maybe you can look at the hospital time as God's way of letting you "cast your care on Him" by letting someone else help with the monitoring. I love seeing the way your story is reaching to so many different people! Each of these little lives have already affected others - isn't that so cool!?!
We'll be praying for "peace that passes understanding" while you wait out the home stretch in the hospital. Gary and Steph Tidwell

Dear Quarto Mama & Papa,
O.K Dad I am 1 of those that has been keeping up with you through the blog & keeping you in my heart & prayers, but have yet to "comment." I guess 1 have yet to respond because it is hard to write with tears streaming down your face. It makes seeing the screen difficult at best. My tears are for the way that our Great God is being glorified through your lives & the lives of the 4 amigos. I bet you would have never guessed that He would have used this blog is such a powerful way as many are keeping up with you & seeing your strength that can only come from Our wonderful heavenly Father. John Piper has said "God is most glorified in us when we are most satified in Him." Truly all that read this blog can recognize where your satifiaction comes.
When the granparents get tired know that Grammie Pammie is still offering to come & offer what little support that I can. Until then I'll continue to do the best thing & ask God to do His best work in all of your lives- for His glory.

I found your website through the mono/mono support website. I have been following your progress and have been praying for your babies at bedtime when I pray for mine. I was diagnosed with mono-mono twins and an additional singleton. However, I was misdiagnosed. Our identicals ended up having a very thin membrane between them. I had such a heavy heart when I read your site for the first time because it revealed my lack of faith in the Lord. You two are truly an inspiration to me. I will continue to pray for all of you.

And, in a couple cases, its been an opportunity to share our faith! Thank you!
We have been amazed at the strength and peace you both have displayed these 28 WEEKS! But, why should we be surprised??

God Bless you both. I have been keeping up with you all on the Mono website. I have mono-mono girls Laura and Annabelle that God willing made it to 32 weeks 1 day. On NICU journey only lasted 15 days which was incredible. I just want you to both know that I am praying for your little boys each day! As all of your posts say God is in charge and I truly believe in that. My husband and I were very scared when we first heard we were having mono-mono babies but we had a peace in our hearts that God would bring us through any challenge we had to face. Going inpatient at 25 weeks weeks was very hard due to the fact that we also have 2 other girls. Leaving them was so hard but they came to visit me every night! God was awesome during all that time bringing lots of vistors from church, friends and family! Please know that you are being prayed for and your little ones will be in your arms soon!

Brad and Jen,
Congrats on the 28 mark, know that every day counts so much for your little ones. My name is Michelle and I am a fellow triplet mom here in Indy. I also gave birth in the same hospital where you are at and they do WONDERS! They revived both of my boys and they have no problems today. I write the newsletter for the Indy group of mothers of multiples and so I was checking in to see how you were doing. I will write a segment "introducing" you to the group if that is ok. I would love to visit you too if that is ok. Call me anytime as I do not "work". 317-774-9475. Take Care and try to relax as much as you can.... We are praying for you!

Hey Brad and Jen,
Wow I can not believe 101 entries already and I am sure more to come. I am not sure if scott commented yet so I will. I remember these days of waiting and waiting and wanting to make it through each new week and not wanting to listen to what the doctor's kept telling us. hadassah and annah arrived 4 weeks after our goal!! That is how amazing our God is. They will be 2 next month!!! Since you have double that in your "oven" it may be less time than that but God is in control of this. I am so thankful that He has already allowed you 28 healthy weeks and now endure the hospital and press on another at least 4 weeks I pray. I wish I could come visit you, but glad you are still wearing your clothes and measuring 39 weeks-- that is amazing. But remember bed sheets can be very fashionable!!! we love you guys and look forward to staying in touch. Most days Scott tells me what is going on with you before I even get to your blog. He is really getting in to this. I love it and our girls love praying for "LOTS" of babies for auntie and uncle.
love,
julie

Wishing you a healthy 4 weeks in the hospital. I am a mom of momo girls - I did 10 weeks of 23 hour a day monitoring. You can do it!

Keep your chin up. It'll be over before you know it.

Love,

I heard about your blog from a friend who heard about it from a friend....

You don't know me but your blog was passed on by a friend of a friend of a friend. I wanted to let you know that we are praying for you here in Memphis, TN. Your story and your faith is so inspirational. We will continue to pray for you in the coming weeks! Thank you for sharing this story with us. Liz Coverdale

Brad and Jen,

I just found out about your blog from Kathy Hacker. I married Kathy's nephew, saw her at a family get-together, and she told me about it. We are praying for you! I'm very encouraged by your faith. You are right - God is in control and loves us. It would be impossible to face each day without that hope.

I am finally getting around to taking the time to 'catch up' on all your blogs. I've enjoyed reading them, seeing the pictures etc. I've shown Keeley some of the pictures and She said "Jen is so cute as a pregnant lady!" She loves your blue shirt! I'm imagining what it would be like if she was pregnant with 4 babies. (Only because she and Jen are about the same size ...height & weight wise.) I think for now she will settle for being a bridesmaid in her brother's upcoming wedding, which is 7 weeks away! Anyway, I got to your role call blog and realized that I should probably comment and be 'counted' as one of your faithful followers, even though I've only just recently found out that you even had a blog. Even though I haven't been reading your blogs until recently, we have been faithfully praying for you guys since we found out you were pregnant. So I guess I'm # 110 in the role of faithful fans!! haha. I'm so glad God chose to let those precious babies make it to the 32 week mark. What a Wonderful blessing God has chosen to grace your family with. It's also neat to see how He has provided so far for your little ones.
We love you.
