1 In 15 Million Identical Quadruplets Return To Hospital More Than A Year Later
September 14, 2017
Bethani was a bit bolder, toying with the idea of four children. Either way, both Tim and Bethani figured they'd build their family one baby at a time. But God had bigger plans!
A Complete Surprise
Just three months after the wedding, Bethani got the incredible news that she was pregnant. The couple was excited, but not at all prepared for what came next. It was the surprise of a lifetime! A routine ultrasound revealed Bethani was growing four babies, not one! Tim was so surprised, he nearly fainted. Bethani kept thinking the technician had made some kind of mistake. And you can't really blame them.

And the odds of conceiving quadruplets the old fashioned way (without help from fertility drugs) is one in 729,000. But as it turns out, God blessed the couple with something even more special. Once the babies arrived, doctors looked at their little faces and couldn't believe it. Bethani had given birth to identical girl quadruplets. The odds of having identical quadruplets are about one in 15 million. Forget winning the lottery -- this prize is so much better!Easy Going
Once the shock wore off, Tim and Bethani began preparing for life as a family of six. Friends, family and the community chipped in, and showered the first-time parents with baby gear, clothes and even funds to purchase a minivan for transportation.

The identical girl quadruplets arrived via c-section at Royal Alexandra Hospital in Edmonton, Canada. Each of the girls -- Abigail, Emily, Grace and McKayla -- was born perfectly healthy. Between all of the visits, the delivery, and the time the girls spent in the hospital after birth, the Webb family formed a special bond with the nurses and doctors there. [/slide]The New Normal
After leaving the hospital, Tim and Bethani adjusted to life as an instantaneous family of six. They moved in with Tim's mom, so they could divide and conquer on diapers, feedings and loads of laundry.WATCH: Life With Identical Girl Quadruplets
The community continued supporting the Webb family, too. Each week, volunteers showed up to help care for the girls. Fundraising continued, and random acts of kindness from all over the world surprised the Webbs almost daily. One day at the grocery story, the cashier told Bethani a stranger from Costa Rica had called and covered the cost of seven boxes of diapers for the family!

The internet went crazy for the adorable newborn shoot, though it's easy to see why when you look at the photos.

The tiny angels transformed into happy, giggly girls in no time! And by the time they were 16 months old, they were ready for a very important trip.A Heartwarming Reunion
Bethani and Tim got their gaggle of girls all dolled up in matching outfits. But in order to tell them apart, each girl wore different colored earrings -- green for Abigail, purple for Emily, red for Grace, and pink for McKayla.

After growing so close to the staff there during Bethani's pregnancy, the family felt it was important to pay a visit.“We were here for so long and it just felt like they [the staff] were an extended part of our family,” Bethani gushed. “We just had to come back and we wanted to show them the girls.”And the nurses and doctors couldn't be more pleased to see the identical girl quadruplets!
“We deal with all the pregnancies that are high risk so all we ever want is to have healthy moms and healthy babies,” Lorna Clark, a hospital unit manager, said. “So to have this and to see how well they’re doing is very exciting.”
