If someone told you about a woman pushing 40, who just gave birth to quadruplets, wouldn't you assume that fertility drugs were in the mix? Well, not for Luz Maria Marmolejo, the 39-year-old mother of five (she also has a nine-year-old son, whom we suspect has a lot of babysitting in his future) who gave birth to quadruplets, Monday.
Marmolejo delivered her three teeny-tiny boys and one girl 27 weeks into her pregnancy, and will remain in the infant ICU for the next few months to catch up with all the other babies out there.
Presently unwed, the babies' parents (father is Yehonatan Tzairi, age 29, which prompts us to mutter "you GO, Luz Maria") anticipate marriage eventually. Given their remarkable status (a birth of this type is considered "one in a million"), doesn't this seem like the sort of thing some network would want to cover and televise? Who wouldn't want to watch "Quadruplet Wedding"?
