Mary Pat Burch, 29, said in the release that at first they were told they were having triplets — but then learned there was a fourth baby as well. Their family also includes daughter Alice, who is almost 2.

"We wanted a big family, but we thought we'd be able to spread it out more," she said. "Instead we got an instant upgrade."

Mary Pat Burch said the couple did not undergo in vitro fertilization to conceive the quads, though she did have one dose of "low-round" fertility medication before getting pregnant.

Tony Burch is stationed in Texas and deployed to South Korea in September. His wife and daughter moved to Illinois to be with her family for help. On Jan. 23, her blood pressure spiked, so doctors decided to deliver the babies via C-section.
