Jenny and her partner Chris, from Grapevine, Texas, were trying to get pregnant for months, and they were failing. But one time, Jenny got pregnant, and as they were in their regular ultrasound control, their lives had changed.
“I was like, ‘Oh no, there’s no heartbeat.’ And, she’s like, ‘No, there is a heartbeat.’ She goes, ‘Y’all, there’s three babies in there.’ And we were just absolutely floored.” Jenny said in her interview with TODAY.
“The tech — who was doing the initial (scan) — she gave me a funny look. We were like, ‘Oh what’s going on now?’ We got worried again,’” Chris added.
“She was really cute. She said, ‘I’m not supposed to say this, but y’all got four babies.’”
Seven days before their ultrasound, the couple was waiting for their one baby, but after a week, they had found out that they were having quadruplets.
“I made the joke that I am not coming back because there are going to be five babies next time. We were just shocked. Jumping from three to four was easier to swallow. Just after that we heard they were healthy.” Chris continued.
Dr. Lauren Murray had stated that the possibility of this occasion is 1 in 11 million. “It’s unbelievable. It’ll never happen again in my career. I said, ‘Girl, go buy a few lottery tickets because those are the kind of odds we’re dealing with,’” she added.
“What a miracle it was.”
“The babies shared incredibly well. There were no incidents on the sonogram even leading up to that where we were worried that one of them, or two or three of them, would be significantly smaller,” Lauren Murray added.
“They were all born in three minutes. It’s incredible,” their mother, Jenny said.
“We called them our baby birds because they really looked like baby birds.”
”They’re all crawling. I have two who will be walking in the next month probably, which means the other two aren’t far behind. They’re into everything. They’re dirty and messy. They’re already such little boys! Eating is just shoveling food into their face as fast as they possibly can. They’re funny and just sweet as can be.” She added.
“We just hope that this little story and our boys bring as much joy to everybody as they bring to us,”
”I don’t know anything different, and I don’t really have another option! My family had preschools when I was growing up, and 8 weeks was the starting age. I used to sit in with the preschool babies. I was around kids so much that it is like second nature to take care of children,” Jenny, the mother had continued.
”It is what it is. You’ve got to roll with the punches. I remember asking my doctor, “Do I need to go to parenting classes?” She said, “No, you’re going to learn things in the NICU. And there are four of them. Nobody’s going to teach you how to do this.”
When she was asked that how, with Chris, they are knowing which child they are speaking to, Jenny said, ”Well as their parents we just kind of know. We typically see 4 different faces, but their personalities and voices are so different. For someone who’s just met them though: (in birth order) Harrison is the biggest and has the best hair. Hardy has a chipped front tooth and is super slender. Henry has a chubby face and his hair bounces when he runs. Hudson has the smallest head and a freckle on his forehead. Thats about all I can give you in regards to how to tell them apart,”
