A couple in Brampton gave birth to two sets of twins in one year. Quadruple the trouble and quadruple the love.
While talking about the development, Nicholson and her husband, Romaine Maurice McFarlane, said it was a year of surprises.
It all began in February 2022, when the couple’s first set of twins was born three months earlier than the Expected Delivery Date.
Nicholson’s water broke at 27 weeks. Luckily for her, it broke when she was near the local hospital and she was escorted to the hospital by policemen on bicycles.
To cut the story short, Kyra (girl) and Shamar (boy) were born with the babies spending the first few weeks of their lives in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
One month after they were discharged, Nicholson and McFarlane discovered she was pregnant again.
While talking about the pregnancy, she said: “I was convinced it was one; I was convinced it was one [baby] the entire time.”
Lo and behold, it was twins again.
She said: “I was like, ‘OK, here we go again.’ I don’t know any different, so here we go again.”
McFarlane revealed he was in disbelief, and when he was informed about the development, he sat in his truck for a minimum of two hours contemplating.
The surprise did not end there. The Brampton couple revealed that the second set of twins arrived two months earlier than their due date (they were not due until January 2023 but they arrived in November). Four babies in one year.
This time around, it was two girls, Mya and Moriah. The couple said the kids remain in the NICU and they (as parents) have been going back and forth between the hospital and home for the past month.
Nicholson said: “It’s definitely tough because I had to recover from the C-section, as well. I’ve spent most of the time in the first three weeks pumping for the girls in the NICU and getting myself together. Just saying hi and bye to them.
“I will check on them on FaceTime, and we kind of have that moment together in the hospital,” Nicholson added, noting that the couple is hopeful the two twin girls will reunite with them at home later this week.
“We would not even be able to do half of what we’re doing without them.”
