Meadow Pointe resident, Karoline Byler, is about to become a mother again....to six new babies, sextuplets!!  Married since 1998, Karoline and Ben, have one daughter, Zoe, who is four years old.  Last year she made a request for a new baby brother or sister...well, guess what!!!  She's getting five new brothers and one sister!!!

Karoline's story came to my attention through a mutual friend, Eva Lobel.  Once Eva heard of the situation, she felt compelled to help.  Because having some many children at once will obviously cause significant financial strain on the family, Eva and a few ladies from her "Mom's Club" are putting together a fund raising event / super baby shower.  Families of multiple births are aware of the higher health risks of the babies and the mother, possible birth defects, and don't forget...feeding and changing six babies!!!  It makes me tired even thinking about it!!

The Byler family has been featured on the local news and newspapers because the significance of these births.  Friends and family are preparing to help Karoline and Ben with babysitting schedules, gifts, prayers, and emotional support.  Karoline is expected to give birth around mid-August, which will be at 28 weeks.  This gives the babies a chance to develop and get past the critical stages.

If you are interested in making a donation, there will be a Fund Raising Event / Baby Shower on July 28, 2007, from 10-3pm, at Idlewild Baptist Church.  You can also make an on-line donation from their website.  For more information on the family and event, click here.
