I swear that only happens when *I* want to post a topic.

Anyway, here's the article that's supposed to be in the other thread:

Mom has quadruplets 3 years after triplets

LOS ANGELES - After delivering triplets three years ago, Angela Magdaleno thought she was done having babies. She was wrong four times over.

Magdaleno gave birth to quadruplets on July 6 by Caesarean section. She now has nine children.

The latest additions — two girls and two boys — were doing well Wednesday, while their mother, resting at home, said: "I'm happy because they're healthy and so am I."

Still, Magdaleno, 40, worried she might be overwhelmed with the work and sometimes struggles with mixed emotions about the future.

"I don't know if I'm sad or happy," she said. "I'm happy but, I don't know. I don't know how to explain it."

Three years ago, Magdaleno gave birth to the triplets after undergoing in vitro fertilization. She said her husband wanted many children. After their birth, she thought she was done having babies.

Then she got pregnant with the quadruplets. Magdaleno said she was shocked at the news.

"She wanted to run," said her husband, Afredo Anzaldo, 45, who lays carpet for a living.

Her doctor, Kathryn Shaw, a high-risk pregnancy specialist, said Magdaleno did well during the pregnancy and developed no complications.

The babies were born at 32 weeks — well beyond the 29-week average for quadruplets. At birth, the girls were 4 pounds and 17 and 17.5 inches long; the boys about 3.5 pounds and 16 inches long.

Shaw said the odds of conceiving quadruplets without fertility drugs are about one in 800,000. She's seen only one other case of quadruplets being conceived without drugs — 18 years ago.

Even more rare, the boys appear to be identical twins, according to their doctor, Soha Idriss, who expects the babies will join their mother at home in about eight weeks.

As of Wednesday, their parents were still deciding what to name them.

When the quadruplets come home, Magdaleno will have help from two older daughters.

All 11 family members will be living in a one-bedroom apartment in east Los Angeles. She said the living room is large, but she isn't sure what the family will do when the babies get bigger.

When the older girls are at school and her husband is at work, a friend has offered to help with the newborns and the triplets. "It's a lot of work," their mother said.

In the hospital, the babies sleep wrapped in blankets and attached to monitors and wires in separate incubators. They have full heads of straight dark hair and plump pink mouths.

Anzaldo took the couple's triplets to White Memorial Medical Center to meet their new brothers and sisters and to let Magdaleno get some rest at home.

They have accepted their new brothers and sisters, Magdaleno said. But at first the triplets weren't sure if they wanted the extra siblings, Anzaldo said.

"They wanted one baby and no more," he said.

D'OH!!! Shouldn't they have done something after the birth of the triplets...like snip, snip... oh, but wait, the HUSBAND wants the babies, so have some more... nevermind they'll all be sleeping on top of each other in the living room.

Nah, I was just kidding. We're holding off until we move though (a month or so). We only tried for about 4 months and then decided we should wait.

Yeah, WAY tmi, I know.

why is it that people who have that many kids never seem to have enough room for them?

even without the quads, she has quite a few children in that 1 bedroom apartment.

i don't have a problem with people having as many (or as few) babies as they like.

but dang... all those people in that small space. i can't imagine what their mornings are like...

before they forked out cash for in-vitro for the triplets, they should have gotten a larger place to live, at the very least TWO bedrooms...

[Sister Fracas 5]

heh...then his tune would change...

wow - maybe the fertility drugs she took for the FIRST pregnancy did something super-whammy-type-suff to her ovaries and made THIS one, wiht NO drugs taken, happen. (Or maybe she has 4 milkman. )

I never heard of that happen before. 9 kids!! And 7 of em under 4!!

Wow, in some places it's illegal to have that many animals in that amount of space.
