CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WBTV) - A Charlotte family's quadruplets are finally home after 36 days in the NICU.

Ariayah, Aniyah, Cayden, and Carter were born on Dec. 2, a little ahead of schedule, at 31 weeks. However, doctors did not expect mom, Ronjera Abrahams to go past 24 weeks.

"My water broke," recalled Ronjera. "I was like, 'Y'all we gotta go to the hospital.'"

During her pregnancy, Ronjera said doctors reminded her of everything that could go wrong with carrying multiples.

"You may have preeclampsia and gestational diabetes, and you know they can come out with all these issues because they'll be preemies," she said.

But Ronjera and the Abrahams quad -- as they're now affectionately called -- defied expectations.

All four babies arrived healthy and were delivered within two minutes.

"The nurses would constantly tell us like these babies aren't sick, they just need a little bit of help," said Carlos Abrahams, Ronjera's husband and father of the quads.

After about a month in the NICU, all the babies were cleared to go home at the same time, something doctors said they had never seen with multiples.

Now that the quads are home, their parents said even though they're tired, they're feeling good. As with any newborn, sleep is limited. Carlos said he only got 45 minutes of sleep the night before.

The couple and their three other children, all boys, are adjusting to their new normal with four new babies and becoming parents to daughters for the first time.

They said it's something they prayed about for years.

"You can't put a time on God's timing," Carlos said. "I'm grateful for all four of them and like they say ... God gives you double for your trouble, but he gives you quadruple."

Ronjera is chronicling the family's journey on Instagram and TikTok where they recently gained over 12,000 followers.

"I feel like these are miracle babies and I feel like, you know, they should be, you know, shared to the world," Ronjera said.

The Abrahams said the babies have brought them closer together. Without any family to support them in Charlotte, they are leaning on each other more than ever.

While trying to keep up with all their children, the Abrahams are working to raise money for a van big enough to fit the whole family so they don't have to split vehicles.
