When doctors told first time parents Tim and Bethani Webb that they were expecting quadruplets, they could scarcely believe it.
According to experts, the chances of having identical quadruplets is one in 15 million. Tim and Bethani plus the newborn girls were therefore in pretty rare company and their story became an instant internet sensation.
Even more remarkably, they did not use fertility treatment and do not have a history of multiple births in their respective families.

Speaking at the time, Bethani said having four babies was both a pleasant surprise and a challenge, adding: "It’s a little overwhelming knowing that I’m taking care of four little babies. But it’ll be good. Once they get home and I get into a routine, I’m sure it won’t be too bad.”
