Best, worst day for new dad

When Carlos and Erica Morales first found out they were expecting quadruplets, they were just excited to be pregnant. After Erica, 36, had a miscarriage, the couple went through fertility treatment and conceived their four little ones — three girls, one boy — through IVF, according to People. “We couldn’t have been more excited to finally have a baby,” Carlos, 29, told the magazine this week.

But their joy took a tragic turn in January, when Erica, at seven months pregnant, underwent a cesarean section. After delivering four healthy babies, Nicole went into hypovolemic shock, a condition that involves severe blood loss, and died a few hours after her children were born. “I went from having the best day of my life to the next morning experiencing the worst day of my life,” Carlos said in his first interview since Erica’s death. “My four babies came into the world and then my wife died.”

The new dad, who lives in Phoenix, Arizona, is caring for Carlos Jr., Tracey, Paisley, and Erica on his own, though he credits the support of friends and family for helping him get through. A month after their Jan. 15 birth, Carlos Jr. and Tracey have come home, while the other two babies are still in the hospital, where Carlos is taking parenting classes. “I’m learning everything from how to give them a bath, CPR, feeding, and how to manage their sleep schedule,” he said. “I need to be prepared.”
