14 DAY TRIAL // What were the odds of having all of your four children born on the same day but several years apart? 133,225 to one actually, and this family managed to have a quadruple birthday.
The best part is that none of the births was planned for that day, but it somehow happened that the new baby of the family was also born on January 12.
Emily Scrugham and Peter Dunn were quite surprised when their youngest son, Ryan was born on the same date as his two-year-old twin sisters Brooke and Nicole and his five-year-old brother Sam. Even if Ryan was due three days earlier, he somehow wanted to surprise his sisters and brother on their birthday.
When Sam – the first child – was born on January 12, he was two weeks late; when the twins came into the world, they were one month premature. Their mother had to undergo an emergency cesarean surgery because doctors were worried for the babies' safety after having a hard time hearing their heartbeat.
The couple believes the fact that all of their four children are born on the same day is just a lucky coincidence that kind of makes things trickier for them.
“I'm still trying to work out if it would be easier to have birthdays spread throughout the year or all on the same day,” Peter Dunn says, according to The Telegraph.
Without having to split the party in four, the family can host a huge celebration for all of their kids on January 12. The happy parents would never even think of moving their children's birthdays as the fact that they were all born on the same date just makes things more special.
This year, while waiting for their mother and new brother to come home from the hospital, Sam had his own birthday cake and the twins shared another one. If having four children, all under the age of five, doesn't sound difficult enough, imagine what it will be like when the couple have to celebrate Sam's 21st birthday, the twins' 18th and little Ryan's 16th celebration party on the same day.
