Kids are adorable, and when you add a second, third, or more to the mix, the “aww” factor increases exponentially. Parents of multiples experience parenthood differently. Some describe it as equal parts magical and the hardest thing they’ve ever done. Parents of multiples are part of an exclusive group, chosen to embrace both the beauty and the challenges of growing, nurturing, and raising multiple children at once.

From the moment you are told there is more than one heart, the entire experience of pregnancy, motherhood, and parenthood changes. Sometimes it can seem that his life becomes a sideshow. To celebrate the parents of multiples and capture some of the magic of twins, triplets and quadruples, we rounded up some of the most amazing and adorable photos of new multiples.
