In an extraordinary and heartwarming story, Farrah and Peyton Larry, a couple from Louisiana, have welcomed quadruplet daughters, conceived naturally without fertility treatments.
Even more remarkably, the quadruplets are two sets of identical twins, a rare occurrence with odds estimated to be between one in 750,000 to one in a million.
Farrah, 29, and Peyton, 29, were already parents to a 2-year-old son, PJ, when they were shocked to learn, via ultrasound, that they were expecting four girls.
“I was laughing and crying at the same time,” Farrah recalls. “My husband was about to pass out.”
On November 20, Farrah, who was 32 weeks pregnant, gave birth to Lyric, Paisley, Psalm, and Fallyn via cesarean section.
The couple decided to draw names randomly from a bag as the girls were born, with Peyton announcing, “Alright, this is Lyric…” for each baby.

After spending some time in the neonatal intensive care unit, the quadruplets, each weighing about 4 lbs. at birth, are now home in Slidell, Louisiana.
The Larrys are adjusting to their growing family, with Farrah managing to nurse all four girls, and the couple going through an astonishing number of diapers and bottles daily.
Peyton, who works as a postal carrier, and Farrah, who has temporarily put her transportation business on hold, are excited but tired, joking about their lack of sleep: “It’s like one long blink,” Peyton says.
Despite the challenges, including telling the identical twins apart, Farrah and Peyton are full of joy and optimism. “Clearly God has a plan for these girls,” Farrah says.
The couple, with help from their extended family, including Farrah’s mother, Sue, who set up a GoFundMe for additional support, are embracing their new life, trusting that they will continue to make it work.
Their unexpected family of seven, once only a dream, is now a reality. Farrah reflects, “I can’t see it any other way.”
