Sextuplets...twice

A 24-year-old woman in Minneapolis (four boys, two girls) and a 32-year-old woman in Phoenix (three boys, three girls) gave birth to sextuplets within 10 hours of each other. All six babies in Minneapolis are in critical condition and the mother in Phoenix suffered heart failure. She is recovering in an intensive care unit.

The Arizona sextuplets were featured this morning on the Today Show. Click here to check out the video.

Yes. I've seen "Jon and Kate Plus 8". They are amazing. If I ever feel overwhelmed, I think about them for a second and realize that life with one is soooo easy! The good thing is their kids seem to do a good job entertaining each other.
