Everyone! Please welcome Olivia Marie, Ava Lane, Hazel Grace, Parker Kate and Riley Paige Busby — a brand new set of quintuplets, born this month in Texas.

Danielle and Adam Busby’s five babies were born April 8 via Cesarean section at the Woman’s Hospital of Texas in Houston, according to a news release announcing the birth. They are the first all-girl set of quints in the world since 1969, according to the hospital.

I know. Quints.

FIVE. BABIES.

“The baby girls did well during the delivery and are currently requiring only modest support of their breathing,” Jayne Finkowski-Rivera, the hospital’s NICU medical director, said in a statement. “They were all in the appropriate weight range for their gestational age, which is due to their mother’s excellent efforts to have the healthiest pregnancy possible. They have made a strong start in life, and we are excited to watch them grow and mature.”

Very cool, right? I look forward to the eventual Busby basketball team, and/or teen band. And I very much hope that Danielle and Adam Busby enjoyed that line, because I kind of suspect they will be hearing it for the next decade or so.

“We are so thankful and blessed,” Danielle Busby said in the release. “And I honestly give all the credit to my God. I am so thankful for this wonderful hospital and team of people here, they truly all are amazing.”

At a news conference Wednesday at the hospital, Busby told reporters that “it took me a couple days to—’wow, these are ours.'”

All five babies were delivered in about four minutes, according to the hospital.

According to NBC affiliate KAGS:

Dr. Jayne Finkowski-Rivera, who was on the team who helped deliver the girls, said they could go home when they’re around 36-38 weeks, or when they’re full-term babies. …

“We treated every baby as an individual, everybody had their own team and everyone was taken care of,” Finkowski-Rivera said.

The girls join big sister Blayke, who got to meet her siblings at the hospital.

“She hasn’t really asked many questions,” Danielle Busby said in a video posted on the family’s blog. “We try to talk to her about it, you know, ‘What do you think of them?,’ just whatever. She doesn’t really say much, so I think it’s just going to take a little bit of time to really get her to grasp these are her sisters. These are your five sisters that were in Mom’s belly.

“So it’s going to be a little bit hard to get her to understand all that. But she’s doing good. And we couldn’t be more proud of her, and honestly all the babies.”
