HOUSTON A Houston family waited five years for five tiny miracles.
Veronica Real-Mayorga delivered three boys and two girls Saturday. They range in weight from 2 pounds, 14 ounces, to 3pounds,14 ounces.
She and her husband Enrique spent years trying to have another baby, and finally she got pregnant with the help of fertility drugs.
Aaron, Priscilla Sofia, Matilde, Joel, and Isaac are all in good health so far, considering they were born almost 11 weeks premature. Two of the newborns are already breathing on their own.
The infants will remain in the hospital under constant care until they are ready to go home, which will likely be in the next two months, orwhen they weigh between 4 and 5 pounds.
The babies already have a big brother.
Fernando is 8-years-old, and says he is looking forward to teaching his brothers and sisters how to swim and play soccer.
The only thing he worries about, he says, is knowing they are going to be loud, and he may not be able to sleep.
