Britney, who is an elementary school teacher, said she had a suspicion that she might be expecting again just six months after giving birth to sons Luka and Levi.
Her intuition proved to be true, and the couple assumed they would be having only one more baby. However, things took an unexpected turn when an ultrasound revealed that they were expecting twins again.
Adding to the amazing defying odds of having twins once again, the Alba’s newest set of babies were diagnosed as monoamniotic-monochorionic, or “MoMo” twins, which means they share the same placenta, amniotic sac, and fluid. This type of twins is one of the rarest, making up less than 1 percent of all births in the United States.
Despite the surprise, Britney wasn’t scared and felt that it was like “Round two.” She was admitted to the University of Alabama at Birmingham’s Women and Infants Center, where her care team was “literally like family.” When daughters Lynlee and Lydia arrived, the couple said that they felt their family was complete.
Now, with four babies in tow, the family attracts a considerable amount of attention when they are out and about. People often stop to gawk at them and ask if they are twins, but the couple takes it all in stride. “It sounds like work, but we love it. It’s just become a new normal, and it’s good,” Britney said.
Despite the challenges of raising four young children, Britney and Frankie are confident in their parenting skills and are excited to raise their family.
