DH: Francisco Basilio
DW: Julia Katherine
DD/DS: Eve Angerona Winter / Judah Nazario Thomas
DS/DD/DS/DD/DS: Adrien Hugo Sebastian / Lucy Alice Constanza / Jonas Benjamin Maxime / Celia Amelie Morgana / Kasper Lucas Alexandre
After two years of trying for another child with no success, Francisco and Julia decided that they were willing to try in vitro fertilization in order to add a new addition to their family. With nine eggs implanted into Julia, their doctor explained that there was a fairly high chance that the couple would conceive twins. Imagine their surprise 9 weeks later when they found out they were expecting SIX!
After several nights of crying, shock, surprise and worry, Francisco and Julia knew what was right for them. The doctor had suggested selective reduction, explaining that for each growing fetus, the risks multiplied severely. But after thinking it through, Julia and Francisco knew that they could never choose between the children they already felt were theirs.
After a stressful but relatively unproblematic sixteen weeks, Julia began bleeding. Terrified, Francisco rushed her to the hospital, leaving Eve and Judah with close family friends. Julia, it turned out, had lost one of the babies. The couple grieved for a few days but were relieved at the same time that their other babies were in steady condition and had a better chance of survival.
After 29 weeks, Julia was rushed to the hospital when labor set in. The doctors had hoped that keeping her on bedrest would've delayed the labor until at least 30 weeks, but the babies were already on their way. After an emergency C-Section and a staff of 80 doctors and nurses, the couple became the proud parents of three more boys and two more girls!
While Julia was recovering and the quintuplets were in NICU, Francisco transformed the family's guest bedroom into a nursery. Eve and Judah were overjoyed that they were big sister and big brother, and couldn't wait to meet the quints. Francisco helped them paint the palms of their hands, so that pretty soon the walls of the new nursery were decorated with the big siblings' handprints. After five weeks in NICU, the last of the quintuplets was allowed to come home. The worst was over, but Francisco and Julia were sure to have a lot ahead of them!
