Baylor University Medical Center welcomed Mia, Tessa, Rayleigh and Bryant, Gracie on Tuesday and the quintuplets are the first to be born here. The tiny infants are doing remarkably well and were born to a teacher from a small town in Texas. Those five bundles of joy are really grabbing headlines and Steven and Michelle Seals, the proud parents simply can’t stop beaming at them.
There are four girls and one boy, who were born via C-section at 29 weeks. At birth, each of the quintuplets was breathing on his own. However, 4 were later put on ventilators to give more support to their little lungs. They are soon expected to be off the machines. Brant was the heaviest with 3 pounds 6 ounces and Rayleigh weighed the least at 2 pounds 8 ounces. Tessa weighs 2 pounds 14 ounces, Gracie is 2 pounds 7 ounces while Mia weighed 2 pounds 10 ounces.
Dr. Vijay Nama, the Director of Neonatology at Baylor University Medical Center said that the infants will remain in the hospital for another 6 to 7 weeks. The team that delivered the quintuplets included 2 obstetricians, 7 neonatologists along with 4 labor and delivery nurses.
Michelle Seals, the proud mother has had several miscarriages before and undergone several treatments for fertility. She knew she was carrying more than one baby but was not expecting quintuplets. Every week they went back for regular checkups, the doctors found a few more. She can’t wait to hold the quintuplets, she says. Right now she is scared of all the machines and tubes, but simply loves the sight of them and they are so precious to the couple.
