First all-girl quintuplets born in the U.S. doing 'fabulous,' parents say

HOUSTON -- Riley, Hazel, Parker, Olivia and Ava Busby are ready to meet the world.

The five babies -- the first set of all-girl quintuplets ever born in the United States -- are doing "fabulous," parents Danielle and Adam Busby told Good Morning America Thursday.

Adam said he knew there could be health complications and feels fortunate that the birth went relatively smoothly.

"It's such a relief -- knowing, obviously, what the potential risks are," he said.

The couple conceived through intrauterine insemination. After discovering there were five babies, doctors advised the couple to abort some of the fetuses due to the risks. They chose not to because of their religious beliefs.

The babies all weigh between 2 and 2.5 pounds, according to ABC News. They were born April 8 and have since started developing their own personalities and quirks, the couple explained in a video update.

The couple has a sense of humor about the daunting task of taking care of five babies.

"We need a Dumpster and a garage just to put the dirty diapers in," Danielle joked.

Danielle said that the couple's church community has come forward, in addition to their families, offering to take turns on diaper duty. They have also been given support through a GoFundMe page started to cover some of their expenses.

"We feel confident that we will have help," she said at a news conference Wednesday at The Woman's Hospital of Texas.

This is not the Busby's first child. The babies have a big sister, 3-year-old Blayke.

So do mom and dad think they'll ever have a son?

"At the rate that we're going we'll have a seventh girl," Adam said.

"That's not happening," Danielle said.
