Gaby and Patrick Hagker were expecting to have their fourth and final baby with their last pregnancy. Instead, they were blessed with four.  A Texas couple expecting to have their fourth and final child instead welcomed four new babies into their family

Gaby Hagler, 39, said in an interview that she and her husband Patrick Hagler, 50, first found out they were expecting quadruplets when she went for a 12-week routine ultrasound checkup.

"We thought we were looking at two views of the same baby and then possibly four, but the ultrasound tech was all excited, and she's counting 'one, two, three, oh wait, no, no, wait, there's four,'" she told the outlet, adding that the news left her in "complete shock."

She continued: "We're like, 'Four? Four what? Four limbs? Like what are we counting?' And she's like, 'Well, look, look up there. What do you see?' And four different babies were doing completely different things. So it was very clear at that point that it was not multiple views of the same baby."

The couple got married back in the year 2018 and have 2 children Paxton, 12, and Kalleigh, 13 — from previous relationships. After some time of their marriage, the couple welcomed their first child together, Sammy, who is almost 3 years old.

Gaby and Patrick Hagler decided to have their last child but had experienced a miscarriage earlier, but despite the unfortunate incident, they decided to try another time.

"We decided we'll do one more," Patrick recalled to the news station. "We'll be complete with one more, with a fourth."

After the miscarriage, they used fertility medication, and Gaby again became pregnant. Then came their surprise at the 12-week check-up. The couple's four babies now named Adam, Bennett, Coby, and Dane were born on June 22 at 34 weeks.

Because the quadruplets were born prematurely, the couple revealed that they turned to GoFundMe to raise money for a van to transport them to doctor's appointments. The campaign raised just over $20,000 as of Wednesday afternoon and was able to secure their van.

"It's certainly been life-changing and a little bit scary because we had financially planned for one more and that even took some planning and thinking about how we were going to do things," Patrick told the source. "It completely blew up the whole financial plan but it's manageable. It's just a little bit daunting at first."

Gaby said the three older siblings are bonding quickly with the new babies.

"The sibling love that we have been experiencing here,", "there are no words for it."
