Five Tiny Miracles, One Extraordinary Beginning

On December 4, surrounded by a 24-member medical team at St. Joseph’s Medical Center, Margaret Baudinet welcomed something rare and breathtaking — quintuplets.

Four girls. One boy.

Born in just 17 minutes.
Each weighing barely 1.5 kilograms.

At only six months’ gestation, their fight began immediately. Under the watchful care of high-risk pregnancy specialist Dr. John Elliott, and with husband Michael by her side, Margaret held onto hope through every fragile heartbeat.

Today, those five tiny warriors are breathing on their own, learning to feed, growing stronger by the day.

“I don’t yet know what life with five newborns will be like,” Margaret said softly. “There will be many emotions — but this is what I wanted.”

Five small lives.
One mother’s courage.
A beginning that proves miracles sometimes arrive all at once.
