A woman who had identical quadruplets during the coronavirus pandemic has spoken about life with her 20-month-old sons, saying she and her husband change 24 diapers a day and spend $300 a week on groceries.

During a national lockdown and hospital visitation restrictions, Texas couple Jenny Marr, 36, and Chris welcomed their four sons, Hudson, Harrison, Henry, and Hardy, on March 15, 2020.

Nearly two years later, the parents are overloaded with diaper changes and supermarket trips, but they wake up every day happy for their “15 million to one miracles.”

Jenny told The Sun that four children changed her life. I try to cook homemade food, but occasionally I’m so exhausted that I just heat up something frozen for Chris and I to eat.

They ceased contraception in March 2019. Her 11-week scan revealed a shocking pregnancy six months later.

The sonographer’s “intently at the screen” look worried Jenna.

She looked at the screen and stated everything was fine. “I knew something was up,” she claimed.

‘I giggled and inquired if I was having twins. Her reply astonished me. “No, you’re having triplets,” she said.

Chris went pale and collapsed. A nurse raised and hydrated him. He awoke horrified on a chair.

Jenny was astonished by her several pregnancies. The sonographer first revealed they were having naturally conceived triplets.

The following week, a doctor confirmed her pregnancy with four identical babies.

“This time Chris and I laughed, and he didn’t faint directly onto the floor,” Jenny said. We laughed. “We’re not coming back next week,” we chuckled. I liked four since I loathe odd numbers.

“They can pair up,” I told Chris hopefully. No misfits.

The odds of having identical, spontaneous quadruplets are 11–15 million.

Jenny’s physician dubbed their case “incredibly rare” because their identical quads shared a placenta.

It surprised us. “I was pregnant with one embryo, which split early in my pregnancy, and then both halves split again,” she stated. The hospital reported 75 cases worldwide.

Jenny knew the pregnancy was risky, but she didn’t think her four children would likely die.

“The doctors told Chris that the infants had less than a 0.01% chance of all surviving,” she said. He concealed that terrible news from me to avoid panicking. If I’d known, I’d be devastated.

Jenny had weekly scans, which showed ‘four little heartbeats thumping strongly away.’

28-week labor began. Her four big boys were caesarian-sectioned and tubefed.

Harrison and Henry weighed 2 lbs., 6 oz. Hudson, the tiniest, didn’t need oxygen.

Jenny and Chris visited their sons regularly under lockdown. Their sons were hospitalized until May.

She told The Sun Hardy arrived first at 5 lbs. Chris and I panicked the first night and barely slept. Since then, our house has been wild.

Diapering, nursing, and sleeping have continued. Amazingly, they napped together. To distinguish them, I arranged them by birth order at weeks old.

Busy day: Jenny and Chris change 24 diapers.

The family spends $300 a week on groceries, including boys’ milk.
