When asked about motherhood, Natalie Te Aroha sums it up perfectly. “Heart-filling and hairpulling,” says the doting mum-of-five.

Having shared Natalie and her 35-year-old husband Kahn’s journey through a giant quadruplet pregnancy, Woman’s Day is overjoyed to celebrate the siblings second birthday at the family’s home in Bunbury, WA.

From the backyard there are giggles and squeals galore, as her rabble race around on their new trikes, dressed top-to-toe in adorable Mario birthday outfits!

“They’re on them all the time,” says Natalie. “One day, I saw them hooning about and it looked like a scene from Mario Kart, so I bought them the outfits, too.”

Now, as the non-identical quads – three daughters, Maddi, Frankee and Marley, and son Maioha – celebrate birthday number two, the couple reflect on parenthood and blissfully admit it has been everything they imagined, and more.

“I still can’t believe that I’ve got quadruplets,” Natalie tells Woman’s Day.

The 32-year-old – who is mum to four-year-old daughter Kiana, too – was overjoyed when she learned she was pregnant in 2020 but was shocked to say the least when she went for her first scan and four heartbeats were detected.

“When the sonographer held up four fingers my jaw dropped,” says Natalie.

As for Kahn, he is first to admit that while he’d always longed for a big family, nothing could prepare him for quads!
