The Texan Couple’s Natural Conception of Quadruplets as They Desired Another Child.
Gaby and Patrick Hagler met in 2018 and were married shortly thereafter. Patrick had a son, Paxton, and Gaby had a daughter, Kalleigh, from her previous marriage. They had a son, Sammy, after their marriage, but they desired to have another child.
“With this, we hoped to complete our family, as I will turn 40 in March and my husband will turn 50 this month, and we thought it would be wonderful to have four children,” Gaby said.
However, the result was not as expected. When Gaby became pregnant, she assumed the role of mother. However, they continued to try, and she became pregnant again shortly thereafter.
When she and her husband went for their first ultrasound at 12 weeks on January 21, 2022, they were in for an enormous surprise. During the examination, the technician began to count. How does he tally? “What about your limbs?” the concerned mother inquired. Following this, the technician smiled and stated, “There are four infants.”
Gaby and Patrick were shocked; they had never anticipated having quadruplets at this stage in their lives. Due to the high-risk nature of Gaby’s pregnancy, she had to undergo a procedure to prevent a miscarriage in the following weeks.
Gaby recalled that the period between the end of January and the beginning of February was tumultuous.
Most quadruplets are born earlier, and Gaby and Patrick’s children were born at 34 weeks gestation on June 22, 2022. Adam, Bennett, Coby, and Dane were the names of the youths. Three weeks after their delivery, their parents were finally able to take them home. Due to the fact that the couple’s vehicle could only accommodate two child carriers, the trip home and subsequent medical examinations were always difficult, and the parents had to schedule two appointments for each child.
Barbara Garaygordobil, the godmother of Gaby, created a GoFundMe page so the family could purchase a larger vehicle. The couple has since used the over $20,000 raised to purchase a Ford van.
Kalleigh, Gaby’s daughter, initially struggled to acclimate to the changes brought about by the birth of quadruplets, but she ultimately became her mother’s greatest supporter. Gaby’s greatest challenge is nourishing her four insatiablely hungry infants. She now uses a tried-and-true method and always expresses copious breast milk with a breast pump prior to feedings, thanks to Kalleigh’s assistance.
She stated, “It’s a ridiculous amount of milk and it’s incredibly laborious.”
Gaby and Patrick are delighted that fate bestowed them four children rather than one, and they believe their family of nine members is complete.
