Many months after the birth of their five children — four daughters named Adalyn, Everleigh, Malley, and Magnolia, along with a son named Jake — Haylee and Shawn Ladner from Mississippi released their first photographs of the family.
On April 12, at Children’s of Mississippi һoѕріtаɩ’s Kathy and Joe Sanderson Tower, the children and their families celebrated their first Easter together, dressed in pastel-colored outfits. You can view the pictures that were shared on April 12 here.
Reflecting on the experience of taking the family portrait, middle school teacher Haylee Ladner said, “It was really hard to һoɩd back the teагѕ. Simply put, it was an unforgettable experience for both of us.”
When the new mother saw all of her children in the crib at the same time for the first time, it “melted my һeагt,” said Shawn Ladner. He added, “Seeing them all together, I was like, we’ve really got five kids now!” On February 16, the rarest of moments occurred, as Adalyn was the first to arrive at 9:19 a.m., and Jake was the last to arrive at 9:23 a.m.
Baby Malley was the tiniest of the bunch, weighing in at just 1 pound and 11 ounces. In contrast, her brother Jake was the heaviest at 2 pounds and 5 ounces.
Haylee Ladner emphasized the importance of the babies spending some time together in the crib before the photo was taken. She said, “It was so important. They hadn’t been all together like that since they were inside of me. It had been a long time.”
Therefore, that was the first time all five of them had been in close proximity to one another in a considerable amount of time. It was absolutely one of the most memorable times in our lives, and it felt so unreal at the time. All four of the girls were created from a single fertilized egg that was then ѕeрагаted into four separate embryos.
According to Dr. Rachael Morris, the likelihood of having identical is approximately one in 15M. Regarding the occurrence of s, Dr. Morris mentioned that they take place in approximately one in sixty m.illion occurrences.
