How will this extraordinary event affect this ordinary couple?

Ironing when the babies are sleeping? Sleep dear! You don’t need to iron. The babies won’t know the difference.

Now I am a triplet which is VERY different from being a sextuplet, but I was born 4 months premature with a 50% chance of survival. Luckly me and my brothers survived but one of my brothers Logan had all the problems. He has cerebral palsy, terrible eyesight, and various mental diabilites. Throught all that he still made it and is one of the most happy people I know.

The dad has been so brave and rock steady. It feels like that people are forgetting that he also lost 2 of his babies.

Their kids must be in middle school now because it’s been 13 years since they were born. Hope that things are going well for them today.

My heart breaks for them going through this. The thing the dr said about killing a baby was so matter of fact. I can understand her saying no, how on earth could you choose which child lives and which dies, what an awful thing. Also thank God for the NHS. What amazing hospital staff. The last printed article I could find was that they had all started school in 2015 and were doing well. Unfortunately the family had lost their home in a fire earlier that year; their oldest child Grace, had got the 4 little ones out of the house. Mum was retraining to become a chiropractor and dad had switched jobs to driving heavy trucks, probably because of better pay I would think.

When people ask me how many I have I say 8 (all single births) . 7 on earth here with me and one in Heaven. I lost a baby boy to a heart defect as a newborn. You two are amazing parents. So sorry for your loss what a huge loss. What gorgeous babies you have.

I have seen this about 20 times. And the moms voice and her talking while crying just tugs my heart strings. God bless the entire Lamb family. 2 parents, 1 daughter, and the 4 babies and the 2 in heaven.

All these babies are 12, wonder how they are now. Super patient, strong and nice couple.

They have been born into a wonderful family

My heart breaks for them. I can’t even imagine losing two children! They are so strong. They have to be. They have lots of little ones to be strong for. Grace is going to be such a good big sister! You’re both great parents, as well!

Oh i just realised babies are 13 and Grace 18 already

@robinjoy2789 4 years ago

I cannot even imagine having to consider reducing and carrying both dead and alive babies for the rest of your pregnancy omg.

@louise9422 2 years ago

31:56 Wow, mom is keeping 4 kids happy at the same time: talking to the big girl, feeding a baby, letting another baby sleep on her lap and the third next to her.

Thank goodness they are in a country that realizes that healthcare is a human right. If this family were Americans they would immediately have to file bankruptcy due to the multiple millions of dollars in medical bills.
