A mother in Texas has finally been able to take her newborn set of identical quadruplets home after giving birth to the babies in March.
Jenny Marr and her husband Chris welcomed their four sons into the world on March 15 at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas.
But being premature by several weeks, the babies all had to spend the next 10 weeks in the hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit followed by nearly a month in the facility's Special Care Nursery.
Now, however, Hudson, Harrison, Henry and Hardy have all been reunited with their parents at the family's home.
Praising the efforts of the hospital's staff in a post on Facebook, Jenny said: "We had the most amazing nurses and doctors during our NiCU and Special Care stay."
She added the family had "made friends that will last a lifetime" and described the experience of becoming a mother during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic as "quite the experience".
"Now onto the next adventure of having them home and raising them into wonderful little men," she said.
The saga first started when first-time parents Jenny and Chris found out that they were pregnant in November and were told by medics to expect triplets.
But a week later, an even bigger twist was thrown at them when during a follow-up appointment they discovered Jenny was actually carrying four children.
“The tech, who was doing the initial scan, gave me a funny look,” Chris told NBC's Today news programme.
“We were like, ‘Oh, what’s going on now?’ We got worried again. She said, ‘I’m not supposed to say this, but y’all got four babies'," he added.
