Mom Expects Triplets but Delivers Quadruplets

I sure hope this family gets some of that love that seems to spread around the internet. The Fugate family just added four babies to the mix.

Kimberly and Craig Fugate of Jayess, Miss. were expecting three babies, but on Feb. 8 they got four.  One little baby was hidden behind the others.  They are all girls and they are all identical.  Identical? That hardly ever happens!

Kenleigh Rosa, Kristen Sue, Kayleigh Pearl and Kelsey Roxanne arrived three months earlier than expected, and just a day before their mother's 42nd birthday.

Say What!!!! 42 years old!!!

Watch the story from CNN.

And get this, these babies were made without fertility drugs. Kimberly Fugate just naturally got pregnant with 4 babies. The odds of that,  1 in 729 thousand live births.

The Fugates already have a 10 year old daughter, Katelyn.  That makes five girls.  Poor Dad.

Because Kimberly had to be hospitalized at 24 weeks pregnant,  she hasn’t had much time to get ready for triplets, much less quadruplets.

She told People Magazine, "We don't really have anything, I had to take a medical leave from work in November."

For now, the couple will be scrambling for car seats, a car that will fit their whole family (their current car is a 5-seater) and hopefully finding a bigger place than their current 2-bedroom mobile home.

Say What!!!!  (Oprah, this Family Needs You)

The family has set up a Facebook page, The Fugate Quadruplets, for updates and information on the babies. All four are in the neonatal intensive care unit.

With four new identical daughters at home, the family is considering strategies for telling them apart.

"Someone suggested painting a toenail a different color," Fugate says. "[I'm] not really sure."

I say just paint their names on the forehead. That way you don’t have to remember what color belongs to which baby.

Come on, they make nontoxic paint don’t they?
