First U.S. set of all-girl quintuplets born in Houston
Source: Houston Chronicle
Another rare multiple birth has graced Houston with the birth Wednesday of the first U.S. set of all-girl quintuplets.
Danielle Busby delivered Olivia Marie, Ava Lane, Hazel Grace, Parker Kate and Riley Paige by C-section at The Woman's Hospital of Texas. It took just four minutes for the birth of all five, the hospital said.
In addition to being the first female quintuplets in the United States, the Busby babies are the first all-girl set in the world since 1969, according to Texas Woman's Hospital.
"We are so thankful and blessed," Danielle Busby said in an announcement from the hospital. "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."
