At their eight-week ultrasound, couple Taylor Becher and Lance Thompson learned they were expecting not just one baby but four<\/em>. The identical\u00a0quadruplet baby girls were born on March 11, 2020 — the smallest weighting two pounds, 10 ounces and the largest three pounds, three ounces.<\/p>\n

“It started off with twins,” Becher told KGUN9<\/a>. “Then all of a sudden my OB was like, ‘No. There’s three!” And then Thompson joked and asked, “Are you sure there’s not another one in there?” Sure enough, there was. Four little hearts were pumping. The estimated odds of conceiving four identical children naturally are one in 15 million<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“I was scared of having so many babies inside of me,” Becher said of her reaction when she heard the news. She knew it would be a high-risk pregnancy, but said Thompson was good at keeping her calm.<\/p>\n
