Are you busy with an infant or toddler? So now try multiplying all those worries four times. That’s exactly what it looks like in Tim and Bethany Webb’s family. They naturally had rare identical quadruplets. And to top it off, she is sɪɴɢʟᴇ-ᴇɢɢ, which is very unusual!
Tim and Bethany Webb have something like winning the lottery. In other words, not only were they born quadruplets, but they were also sɪɴɢʟᴇ-ᴇɢɢ quadruplets. The odds of something like this happening are one in 67 million, which is about like winning the jackpot.
When they learned how many children the woman was expecting, they were sʜᴏᴄᴋᴇᴅ. Because it was a ɴᴀᴛᴜʀᴀʟ ᴄᴏɴᴄᴇᴘᴛɪᴏɴ and twins had never been born before in their original families. “When we told other people, they didn’t believe us, they thought it was a joke,” Tim Webb recalls of the pregnancy.
The girls, Abigail, Emily, Grace and McKayla, were born in May 2016. They live with their parents in the small town of Hythe in the Canadian province of Alberta, about five hundred kilometers north of its capital, Edmonton.
Where in a family with one child, five to seven diapers fall per day, here they need around thirty. In other words, plus or minus a pack a day. The consumption of baby milk and infant formula was also decent. Fortunately, now the girls eat basically the same as their parents, so food expenses have decreased a bit. But the washing machine is still in full operation.
Some time ago, the local community collected fifty thousand Canadian dollars to help the large family, and in addition to the grandmother, local volunteers also helped and are helping the children.
