It’s a lot to get used to: four crying babies, in need of constant care, who look so much alike, it’s hard to tell which is which. But for a couple in northern Alberta, they wouldn’t have it any other way.

Less than two months ago, Bethani Webb, 22, made headlines when she gave birth to four, naturally-conceived, identical baby girls.

The babies were delivered by C-section at 33 weeks. Today, they're home and adjusting to their new lives, even if new dad Tim is still reeling.

“Yep, I still can't believe that there's four of them,” he told CTV Edmonton during a visit to the family’s home this week.

The babies are doing well, growing and adjusting to life at home.

“I couldn't imagine life without them now that they're here. I don't know what I'd do without them. Seven weeks with them and can't imagine life without them,” says Bethani.

In birth order, there's Abigail, the oldest and the tiniest; Emily, the biggest of the four who is a mix of calm and feisty; Grace, with the loudest cry; and McKayla, the sleepiest.

The Webbs were married only a few months when they learned they were expecting. Their initial excitement quickly turned to panic when an ultrasound revealed how many were on the way.

“When they actually counted four, I nearly fainted,” says Tim.

The quadruplets, conceived naturally, were identical, meaning that one egg had split four ways. It’s a one in 15 million event — or rather, four in 15 million.

The couple is from the northwestern village of Hythe, population of 821, located 500 kilometres northwest of Edmonton. The town has been rallying around the young couple, with neighbours coming by to help with diaper-changing, feedings, and baths.

The couple has been struggling with the costs of the new arrivals and the realization that they will be living on a single income for many years to come.

They had bought only one crib and had been planning on buying only one car seat. With the news that their family would grow to six, they needed a new vehicle and a lot more supplies.

An online fundraising page was soon set up, which has raised more than $5,000. A few companies have also donated items, including a Canadian Tire that offered up four car seats.

Then there’s the exhaustion of tending to the babies 24 hours a day.

“I think for the most part the feeding has been the most difficult part,” says Bethani. “There's definitely nights when it's difficult.”

The seven-week-olds are also sometimes hard to tell apart. So the couple has started painting the girls’ toenails different shades, to distinguish them.

“This is Grace,” says Bethani, picking one up and checking her toes. “I had to look at the toes or I wouldn't be able to tell them apart.”

The babies have taken over every nook of the home that Tim grew up in, with closets full of matching outfits, diapers and wipes stacked high, and donated supplies everywhere.

Tim's mother, Deme Webb, couldn’t be more delighted.

“It's priceless, these babies are priceless,” she says between tears. “I really wanted a grandkid,” she says. And now she has four.
