«I feel like the luckiest mom in the world,» she exclaims. Kimberly Fugate has shared how her life has altered following giving birth to unexpected identical quadruplets in February.

Kimberly Fugate, 43, of Jayess, Mississippi, was astonished and happy when it was revealed midway through her s s that she was a ‘extra’ daughter. The likelihood of conceiving quadruplets is one in 729,000, while the likelihood of having identical babies is ‘absolutely unfathomable’ — around 13 million to one.

Craig Fugate, Fugate’s husband, had no idea his wife was having a fourth child until he went to see her in the delivery room. Kim overheard declaring, «I have,» that another baby was on the way. That s, who had been on s, had given her quadruplets at the age of 42. The pair appeared to be s. While the mother-of-four, who also has an 11-year-old daughter with her husband Craig, has had her ‘roller coaster’ moments, the large family couldn’t be happier.

She said:” When the babies were born more than two months ᴇᴀʀʟʏ, they weighed between 2 and 2½ pounds and were ᴄʀɪᴛɪᴄᴀʟʟʏ ɪʟʟ. They spent more than three months in the ⓃⒾⒸⓊ and needed to be on ᴠᴇɴᴛɪʟᴀᴛᴏʀs to help them ʙʀᴇᴀᴛʜᴇ because their ʟᴜɴɢs were sᴏ sᴍᴀʟʟ. There were times when I ғᴇᴀʀᴇᴅfor their ʟɪᴠᴇs. Several of the girls’ ʜᴇᴀʀᴛ ʀᴀᴛᴇs ᴅʀᴏᴘᴘᴇᴅ, and I held my ʙʀᴇᴀᴛʜ as I watched two be ʀᴇsᴜsᴄɪᴛᴀᴛᴇᴅ.

Thankfully, the girls were given the all-clear in June and were able to leave them ⓃⒾⒸⓊ and return home with their parents and sister. They weigh between almost 18 and 22 pounds, and their ᴅᴏᴄᴛᴏʀ is pleased with their growth. They are generally healthy. One quad has ᴀ ᴍɪʟᴅ ᴄᴀsᴇ of a ɢʀᴏᴡᴛʜ ᴅɪsᴏʀᴅᴇʀ and is being monitored regularly.”

She added:” They are calm, happy babies. But sometimes, if they are all crying at once, it can be sᴛʀᴇssғᴜʟ. Katelyn, my 11-year-old, is a great help. She helps in the evenings with baths and feedings.

She helps get them to sleep. She plays with them and keeps them entertained. I also have my family nearby to help if I need it. I believed that Gᴏᴅ picked me to have these quadruplets, and I felt that He would take care of them and allow them to sᴜʀᴠɪᴠᴇ.To see how far they’ve come makes me feel very blessed.”
