I’m pregnant with my first child — a daughter (barring any surprise appendages that haven’t revealed themselves). The prospect of becoming a mother is both thrilling and overwhelming with only one child on the way, so I can’t imagine the feelings of the 26-year-old woman who recently gave birth to quadruplets — all girls — at Methodist Dallas.

The hospital says this is only the second set of quadruplets to be born in its 80-plus-year history. Even more amazing is that they don’t appear to be the result of fertility treatments. Even natural twins are a rarity these days. The quadruplets ranged from 3 pounds, 3 ounces to 3 pounds, 11 ounces when they were born two months ago, and yesterday the hospital discharged them to go home.
