An Ohio couple (pictured above) welcomed their six infants ( four boys and two girls) Isaac, Josiah, Elijah, Rozonno, Madison and Olivia (pictured below) home, after being in the hospital where they were born since June 9th.
The proud parents, Mia and Rozonno McGhee, arrived at the hospital in a stretch limo to pick up their six bundles of joy. The babies had been kept at the hospital to make sure that they were healthy.
At birth, their combined weight was nine and a half pounds. "Our concerns early on, of course, were what everyone's were...respiratory status, fluids...how well their digestive system was working," said Monica Terez, medical center nurse.
According to the McGhee's, their babies are all doing well; they are eating, sleeping, and wetting diapers.
The babies are the first set of sextuplets born in Ohio, so they were subjected to quite a bit of fanfare starting with the hospital personnel who gave them a party before they left.
The McGhee's certainly have their hands full and are relying on friends, family and fellow church members to help them with their new brood. The infants currently go through about 300 diapers a week, 48 bottles a day and more formula than anyone can count. Thankfully, there are church members who have also volunteered for night duty as well, so the babies will be covered 24/7.
The McGhees have also been deluged with baby gifts and will even attend yet another baby shower at a local church center on September 25th, which will cover the remaining needs of their babies.
Fewer than 200 deliveries of sextuplets have occurred in the United States.
