A little pick-me-up before you go. |
An Alabama couple who hoped to grow their family ended up supersizing it. Michael and Hannah Carmack wanted a second child, but they ended up with quadruplets. Not only that, the babies were two sets of identical twins: daughters Evelyn and Adeline, and sons David and Daniel. The odds of conceiving spontaneous quadruplets are around 1 in half a million, and the enormity of it initially moved Hannah to tears — but not happy ones. Michael called their pastor for an emergency meeting to talk about the overwhelming feeling of growing their family from three to seven. “What I think Hannah came to realize is, ‘This is not normal. We had been chosen for something by God,'” Michael told us. The babies were born prematurely and will be in the hospital until June, but they are already forming a close bond with their mom. "She has a connection with these babies like no one else," Michael said. See more photos of the quadruplets here. |
