I was desperate for a girl but ended up pregnant with quads – now I have 7 kids and trolls accuse us of claim benefits
WHEN Ronjera and Carlos Abrahams, 33 and 34, began trying for their fourth baby, they were hoping to complete their family with a little girl.
But what the childhood sweethearts never could've anticipated was that Ronjera would fall pregnant with quadruplets - and they were soon to become parents of SEVEN.
'We had been hoping and praying for a little girl for about eight years,' she said. '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. The girls wear matching everything.'
Ronjera and Carlos met aged 17 and tied the knot young at aged 18, both in agreement that neither of them wanted a big family.
They welcomed Carlos Jr, 14, Christian, eight, and Cameron, four - all homeschooled by Ronjera - before deciding to try one last time for a daughter.
The couple, from North Carolina, US, were informed at seven weeks that Ronjera was expecting triplets and spent the next month trying to process the news.
Then, at the following scan, the doctors revealed that she was actually carrying four babies, leaving them dumbfounded.
After hearing the news, Ronjera took a two-mile walk, crying the entire time.
However, it was Carlos' compassionate and confident attitude towards the news that brought her comfort amidst the emotion overload.
The quadruplets, who are now five months old, are girls Ariyah and Aniyah, and boys Cayden and Carter.
'Going from three to seven was a huge change for us,' Ronjera told Truly. 'Day-to-day life is unpredictable but I try to at least have a schedule sometimes.
'Right now, there isn't a great balance but I just make it work with the time that I have.'
Ronjera has shared her journey of life as a mum-of-seven on social media and has carved out a career for herself as a content creator.
However, trolls have accused her of having lots of children to receive benefits and government assistance.
'I don't take it personally at all,' she said.
The mum-of-seven penned on Instagram about her experience carrying quadruplets: 'Our beautiful babies made it to 31 weeks with no complications and no surgeries, and spent only 36 days in the NICU.
'My pregnancy was the best pregnancy that I've ever experienced and I had a 100% healthy pregnancy with no complications.
'I say all this to say going from being a family of five to nine was unexpected and scary.
'These are our miracle babies… We wouldn't change it for the world. They have blessed our home tremendously.'

Did Hot Girls win the New York mayoral race for Zohran Mamdani?
Days before the New York mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani claimed victory in the Democratic primaries, Cait Camelia and Kaif Gilani walked the length of Manhattan with him during one of his final campaign appearances. 'We jumped in [on the walk] around Washington Square Park and watched these young men come up to him, dab him up, and say, 'Yo, you're so cool. Thank you so much for what you're doing',' said Camelia, 25. 'It's something they've been missing for a long time, someone who can introduce them to progressive ideas and pull them away from that right-wing manosphere.' Camelia and Gilani are the creatives behind 'Hot Girls 4 Zohran', a collective of young women and men who support Mamdani, 33, and make videos addressing the issues their generation faces, many of which are at the heart of the socialist's campaign. Gilani, 28, said being 'hot' had nothing to do with looks — but a desire to engage with progressive politics.

Rust movie crew members settle lawsuit against producers and Alec Baldwin in fatal shooting
Actor Alex Baldwin and producers of the 2024 film 'Rust' have settled a civil lawsuit filed by several movie crew members, court documents released Friday reveal. The Western film turned fatal when cinematographer Halyna Hutchins was shot while Baldwin, the lead actor and co-producer of the movie, was rehearsing with a loaded gun on the set near Santa Fe in October 2021. Director Joel Souza was also injured in the shooting. Baldwin has claimed he was told there were no live rounds in the gun. He also claimed he did not pull the trigger, which prosecutors say forensic reports disprove. The civil lawsuit was brought by three crew members who claim they suffered emotional distress from the shooting. The suit alleges that film producers failed to follow industry safety rules, which they have denied. Plaintiffs to the lawsuit included Ross Addiego, a front-line crew member who witnessed the shooting at close range. A charge of involuntary manslaughter against Baldwin was dismissed at trial last year on allegations that police and prosecutors withheld evidence from the defense. 'Rust' armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary manslaughter and completed an 18-month sentence in May. Prosecutors accused Gutierrez-Reed of unwittingly bringing live ammunition on set and failing to follow basic gun safety protocols. Addiego testified at Gutierrez-Reed's trial and appeared before the grand jury which indicted Baldwin. The filming of 'Rust' was completed in Montana. The Western was released in theaters in May.
