We live in a world of weird and wonderful things.
Some more than others.Most of it all thanks to mother nature.
It blesses us with some of the most wonderful things.
An incredible moment for the families involved.
There are a few times when you having a baby that something unexpected might happen though...
Some women are lucky enough to have twins.
What would be even more of a surprise than having twins though?
Triplets?Or how about identical quadruplets?
Well, that's what happened to one woman.
After Jenny gave birth to identical quadruplets on March 15th.
The time of her labor was also just as the current pandemic was getting worse and lockdowns were beginning to come into place.
All that and the odds of her safely giving birth to all four sons being at 1 in 15 million.There's no surprise that the doctors dubbed it a 'miracle'.
We think it is, too!Despite all the odds, the four health boys were born at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.
The boys who were named Hudson, Harrison, Henry, and Hardy, are now back home.
"They were all born in three minutes. It’s incredible."
At birth, the boys were all tiny and underweight with first-born Harrison weighing 2 pounds 6 ounces, while the next brother, Hardy, weighed at 2 pounds 10 ounces.
Henry weighed 2 pounds 6.7 ounces, while the youngest, Hudson, was the smallest of them all at 1 pound 15 ounces.Quadruplets are often mostly conceived when mothers are taking fertility drugs.
The parents were reportedly in complete shock when they were told and so were the doctors.
To make it even rarer and complicated, the babies shared one placenta which even they did not share well, could cause a risk of one baby taking the nutrients away from the other babies.
So, now just to juggle feeding and caring for their four sons. And that big issue of learning to tell them apart.
Well, if there's one thing that is sure, Jenny is going to have her handsful.
