In an astonishing one-in-15-million event, a couple from Albertville, Minnesota, embraced the arrival of rare identical quadruplet girls through a caesarean delivery. Taylor Becher and Lance Thompson couldn’t believe their luck when they discovered at their eight-week ultrasound appointment that they were about to become parents to quadruplets!
Initially, the doctor believed they were only having twins, but soon discovered that there were actually four precious babies nestled in Becher’s womb. The incredible case has undoubtedly brought immense joy and excitement for these proud new parents.
Though she is already the mother of a 21-month-old boy, the idea of having four babies inside her still frightened Becher. She was also aware that giving birth to multiple babies at once was very risky.
Initially, Becher experienced a great deal of stress, but her boyfriend, Lance, provided unwavering support throughout her pregnancy until she delivered their child. He consistently reassured her, helping her remain calm, by affirming that everything would turn out fine.
Becher’s source of stress is common and understandable. According to the American Society for Reproductive Medicine, complications increase in a multiple pregnancy with each additional fetus.
While carrying multiple pregnancies is scary and stressful, Becher surpassed all the challenges by being positive and extra careful. She also enjoyed buying baby stuff such as car seats, cots, and newborn clothes.
Finally, on March 11, their four little bundles of joy came out by caesarean birth. The parents were so amazed, but what surprised them the most was that their four baby girls are identical. Lakely, Sawyer, Kennedy, and Aurora were all delivered safely, and none of them had any complications.
The couple was so happy and relieved now that they have their quadruplets, who are all healthy and adorable. Weighing 2 pounds and 3 ounces, Lakely was the smallest of the quadruplets, while Sawyer was the biggest at 3 pounds and 3 ounces.
Becher said that Lakely didn’t grow as quickly as her other sisters when she was pregnant, but she was the only one who did not need breathing assistance. Luckily, all four babies are now breathing perfectly on their own.
The couple can’t wait to bring their babies home, where their older brother is waiting to meet them.
It’s so amazing to see such a once-in-a-blue-moon story of life and love. We hope that these sweet little angels will grow healthy and shower their parents with so much love and respect.
