Twins are common but the chances of conceiving quintuplets is one in 55 million, and Kim and Vaughn Tucci of Perth, Australia happen to be the lucky mother of five at once! It’s 5 blessings at a time but it comes with great responsibility and yeah a lot to buy.
Kim and Vaughn already had three children, their two daughters and a 9 year old son form Kim’s previous relationship and were just planning to have just one more before they round up on childbirth.
Medical examinations discovered that Kim suffers from endometriosis and polycystic ovaries, two conditions that can lead to infertility issues. Sometime later, when the doctor informed them that there were five hearts beating inside Kim’s womb, 5! you can imagine their surprise! (whose report will you believe Mamalette?)
Vaughn couldn’t believe it, Kim thought it could only be a miracle, she chronicled her pregnancy journey until she gave birth to her 5 children prematurely on January 2016. All of them lives and were healthy, Jah be praised! She named her healthy five little ones: son Keith and daughters Tiffany, Allie, Beatrix and Penelope.
And so a new journey begins, the one where it involves feeding, nappy changes, and other baby care duties.
“We have five times the first smiles, the first giggles, the first time they look at you lovingly,” Kim said in an interview with 7 News Sydney. But then they also wake up tired, Vaughn added, even with an army of family and friends, even kind strangers, to help them change 50 nappies and prepare 40 bottles a day.
Kim said, “Even if we give an hour to each child, that’s seven hours a day. And you still got house work, [grocery] shopping…”
Vaughn cuts in, “And you’ve still got to eat.” Nope, we’re not having a hectic day compared to these two.
But although the family is “overwhelmed” by the momentous job of caring for eight kids, six of them all under 5 years old, the couple says they are the “happiest they have ever been in their life.”
Looking into the future, seeing themselves with grandkids, Kim realizes, “We’ll never be alone.” Vaughn agrees, “Yeah, we’ve got family. I love my family.”
