Couple discovers their quadruplets are two sets of identical twins

A couple from Louisiana, US learned that the rare quadruplets they welcomed in November are actually two sets of identical twins. 

Married pair Farrah and Peyton Larry talked about welcoming their little rays of sunshine: Lyric and Fallyn as well as Paisley and Psalm.

“I was just laughing and crying. Of course, I was excited, I felt blessed, but I was also just like, four kids? Like, what do you mean four kids at once?" Farrah told ABC News. 

“I was eager. I was overwhelmed. I was nervous, I was excited. I felt warm and fuzzy, too, all at the same time. So, it was just a range of emotions going on," Peyton added. 

Farrah gave birth to their four daughters via Cesarean section.

Dr. Jane Chueh, a professor and director of prenatal diagnosis in the Division of Maternal-Fetal Medicine and Obstetrics at Stanford Children’s Health, shared with PEOPLE Magazine that the chances of conceiving a quadruplet without fertility drugs are rare, with the odds being one in 750,000 to one in a million. 

“It’s quite a feat for the parents,” she said. 

Other than the quadruple expenses, Peyton, a postal carrier, quipped that the toughest part of taking care of their daughters is “telling them apart.” 

The couple initially planned on having two to three children, but they were nonetheless grateful to have been able to provide for their five. (They also have a two-year-old son.)

“Clearly God has a plan for these girls,” Farrah told PEOPLE, “because the odds were against us. We’ve just got to trust Him.”

Farrah’s mother, Sue Dixon, has set up a GoFundMe to help with the couple’s expenses. So far, it has garnered $39,765 (over P2.2 million) out of its $50,000 (over P2.9 million) goal.

“They have a huge, huge village,” she said. “We’re all gonna wrap our arms around them and they’re gonna be fine.”
