You should be able to add the 4th child at the interview if that have arrived by then.

Not sure if this is DV 2025 or 2026, the baby may be born after the deadline depending on that. 
 

I have a vague recollection that a newborn baby can accompany a parent to the US within the visa validity period and also become a LPR on arrival, but don’t know if I’ve made that up?! 
 

OP, which year and if 2026 what’s your visa number?

I think you mean this.

 

To the OP, this may come into play depending on your timeline.  You say the child will be born in October, when is the visa interview?
