MARIETTA, GA — When a Georgia woman got pregnant earlier this year, she was surprised to learn that it wasn't just with one baby — it was with four. Madison Collier, 33, of Marietta, found out she was pregnant with quadruplets at her eight-week appointment in April, Fox 13 reported — which only occurs in 1 in 700,000 natural pregnancies, according to Jackson Health System. She and her husband Justin had only planned on having two kids — and they are already parents to a 3-year-old daughter Isla — so when Justin found out about quadruplets, Madison said he had to lay down on the floor because he felt faint. She gave birth to the rare quadruplets Sept. 3, three months early. The two boys, Calloway and Wilder, and two girls, Iris and Eliza, will be at the hospital until November. Justin's sister, Jamie, created a GoFundMe campaign for the family. "I'm sure you can imagine all the thoughts, fears, concerns, and emotions this sweet couple is going through. They will need a larger car and house, 4 times the baby products, tons of diapers and formula, plus whatever else comes up. Not to mention, Isla, who is currently 3, has a condition called Juvenile Arthritis, which requires special shoes and expensive specialists," Jamie said in the GoFundMe description. "We would like to thank you in advance for any donations that are made and ask that you keep Justin and Madison in your thoughts and prayers." Read more from Fox 13.
