It's quads - again
29may05 A QUEENSLAND woman is pregnant with quads for the second time in what is believed to be a world first.
Dale Chalk, 26, is due to give birth to her second consecutive set of quads in December.
Mrs Chalk and her husband Darren, 34, a security guard, became parents to quads last August using an anonymous sperm donor through the Queensland Fertility Group. They also have a daughter, Shelby, 2, conceived using the same donor.
After the birth of her first set of quads – Ellie, Emma, Joseph and Samuel, who were born 13 weeks early – Mrs Chalk said they wanted as many as 12 children and she would be delighted if she had another set of quads.
"If we had quads again that would be the bees' knees," she said at the time.

Where is the insanity if, as it says in the article, they WANTED a lot of children?
OMG...that's amazing...
...could you imagine NINE kids that young in the house?
Betcha at least some of those children have big translucent heads.
Those poor people won't get a decent nights sleep for the next 50 years! Sheesh! You really gotta want 'em to take such risks.
Mrs Chalk and her husband Darren, 34, a security guard...
But it became clearer when I read this:
The family lives with Mrs Chalk's parents, who extended their house to fit the new grandchildren.
I wonder if grandpa has any say in all of this?
Well, not in repeating, but in not realizing what it entails. Can they remain sane with eight toddlers running around? I wouldn't have made it. Twins were enough.
Yes I can and I think I'm gonna be sick!
Strange family.
The one thing that I never saw mentioned in the show was what the father did for a living to afford 15 kids and a stay at home wife. Or how they were affording to build a massive new home for everyone.
Is there a 100 year time warp in Queensland?
My wife and I are having twins in abotu 4 to 6 weeks. I want 1 more but dang.
"Betcha at least some of those children have big translucent heads."
Snort! Now that I've shot coffee out of my nose, I probably do, too.
"her husband Darren, 34, a security guard,"
How is a security guard pulling down enough to feed 11 people?
As the father of 2.5 year old twins, lemme say "Congratulations!"
That, and "Get them on a schedule QUICKLY, else they will run your life!"
Won't be long. I remember when you first mentioned your twins. Holy cow 4-6 weeks. Girls, right?
"If we had quads again that would be the bees' knees," she said at the time.
Is there a 100 year time warp in Queensland?"
Get on the trolly sockhop. That's what all the hip young kids are saying now-a-days.
No I can't. After 1 hour, i would be in the corner mumbling incoherently. They would be taking me on a one way trip to the "Straight Jacket Hilton".
