Army dad watches his quadruplets born from 6,000 miles away over FaceTime
<p>Army captain, Anthony Burch, had been deployed with the U.S. Army in South Korea while his wife, Mary Pat, was due to give birth to quadruplets.</p>
<p>Now it’s not every day you see a mobile phone present while someone is in labour, but this was a time of despair for the father to be, who called up the hospital his wife was at to use an app called FaceTime, which enables you to look at the person you’re calling. In this case, Captain Burch was able to see not only his wife, but the birth of his three boys and one daughter who entered the world, healthy happy and safely.</p>
<p>Captain Burch is set to return home to Illinois for good during the summer to be with his wife, the babies, and their other two-year-old daughter.</p>
<p>In case you were wondering, the pair had always wanted a big family but were extremely shocked when they found out they were having quadruplets, who could ask for a better surprise!</p>
