Hi,
I had to repost this, I saw a bunch of errors and some unclear
info.
Here goes this time:
December 20, 2012
The Smith family of Montgomery, Alabama are celebrating Christmas
once again. Their three singletons, surviving quads and
surviving quints are all getting their Christmas tree here.
(probably place for a picture)
The Smith quadruplets were born on December 31, 2008, to Carla
and Alfred Smith. The couple did not use fertility treatment;
rather, they were produced from one egg. Minutes before the
birth, the family named them-Honor, Honey, Haven, and Heaven.
Carla says, "Lots of people, including family, laughed at our
decisions for names. Oh well, we're old enough to make our own
decisions."
At the birth of the quads, the family already had a single child,
Sandra, born November 23, 1996.
Honor came at 9-08 AM the morning of the birth; Honey at 9-10,
Haven at 9-11 and Heaven at 9-13. However, Honor died at 9-12.
The cause, however, is unknown. Doctors made sure to take extra
pecial care of the three survivors, as they were worried that
Honor's death was caused by a genetic deffect.
In October 2000, the Smiths decided to have one last child.
However, they got quints; 3 boys and 2 girls, this time all
fraternal, and again conceived spontaneously. Dutch, English,
Vanille, Coco and French were born between March 10 and 12, 2001;
the first two March 10, the second 2 March 11, and the last,
March 12.
The quints were in critical condition much longer than the quads.
Carla and Alfred were worried that they wouldn't make it. Sadly,
on March 16, the youngest and smallest, French, succumbed. By
September 28, however, all were home, safe and sound.
When asked by reporters whether the sets feel that they are
missing something because of one from each set no longer being
alive, Heaven says, "No-we have each other."
"But," Honey remembers, "we do remember our grandparents not
liking our names. My grandma hated the name Honey so much, she
just called me "Little Girl number 3", because Sandra and Honor
were older than me."
In May 2006, Charlotte entered the family; in May 2008 came
Celeste, and the family is awaiting one last child-a boy-comin
spring 2013.
Alfred says, "No matter what happens, we will always be a family.
That's what makes ours so strong."
