A Texas-American couple says their lives completely changed after the quadruplets arrived in July of this year. The arrival of four babies, ready to welcome a single child, meant a daily requirement of 47 diapers, 32 bottles and a half box of wet wipes.

Gaby and Patrick Hagler say they are trying to have a fourth and final child together. They already have a two-year-old son together and each has a child from a previous relationship. However, they say they were shocked to learn that they waited more than once when they took the 12-week exam.

At age 40, Gaby told British tabloid Mirror that she naturally didn’t believe she was expecting quadruplets, after all, it was a one in a million chance.

In order not to risk it, Gaby had to suture her cervix to prevent the possibility of miscarriage with a surgery called cervical cerclage. She was also carefully monitored throughout her pregnancy due to the high risk.

34 weeks later, Gaby gave birth to Adam, who weighed 5 pounds; Bennett at 2.13 kilos; Coby weighing 1.8 kilograms; and Dane at 1.85kg. They were born by planned cesarean section on June 22 this year.

Four months later, the couple says the babies had consumed 47 diapers, 32 bottles, one-half pack of wet wipes and three loads of baby clothes a day in the washing machine.

“I sometimes get confused about quadruplets because Bennett and Coby look so much alike,” said realtor Gaby. “I have to paint one of my toenails to distinguish them.”

“We thought it would be great to have a fourth and final child, and we didn’t know they had quadruplets until the doctor who did the ultrasound told us,” Patrick said. “At first I thought you were talking about it from different angles, but then it turned out they were different babies.”

A friend of the couple created a GoFundMe page to help raise money so they could easily buy a van for their family, now nine years old.

“We were very grateful to the people who donated, thanks to them we were able to buy the van,” Gaby said. “It was a big help as we had to use our pension money,” he said.
