Her handle
Anyone know her 'ducks handle?
TAUNTON, Mass. (WJAR) — It all started the Friday before Valentine's Day when 35-year-old Ashley Ness went in for a routine checkup. She requested to go on birth control, so a pregnancy test was done. Turns out, she was pregnant.

"That was a day of emotion right there," recalled Ness, who has a daughter from a previous relationship and lives with her boyfriend who has three children —a crew of four children between them, including a grown daughter.
Two weeks later, an ultrasound revealed the bigger picture.
"She looked at the screen and she writes A and B. So, then I look at her and said, 'Am I having twins?" recalled Ness, referring to the person who performed her ultrasound. This was not much of a surprise for Ness. "Twins run in my family and in his family," said Ness.
Turns out there was a baby C and D, too.
"She's like, 'Um, you're having four babies, honey," recalled Ness to WJAR. Two days later, she learned she was having two sets of identical twins: two boys and two girls.

Ness got to thinking about the four babies she had miscarried; two before her daughter, Chanel, and two after.
"They all came back to me," said Ness.
And now this growing family is preparing as best they can.
Her 8-year-old came up with the names, which all begin with "Ch," like her. "The two girls are Chesley and Chatham, and then the two boys are Chance and Cheston," said Chanel.
At 23 weeks, Ness said she feels great. "It's been amazing. The beginning was very rough, but now I feel great," said Ness. And now, she, her boyfriend and the kids are anticipating the big day. "I'm technically due Oct. 18, but I will have them between Aug. 9 to the 23rd," said Ness.
Her doctor wants her to carry the babies no later than 32 weeks, for the health of all involved.
Because this growing family will now have to build an addition and buy a larger vehicle to accommodate everyone, friends have started a GoFundMe campaign to assist with the costs.
