ON DECEMBER 11, THE FIRST SET OF SEXTUPLETS IN ALABAMA SINCE 2011 WERE BORN IN HUNTSVILLE. Parents Courtney and Eric Waldrop and older siblings Sailor (8), Bridge (5) and Wales (5) were excited to welcome the six babies—three boys and three girls. The boys are Blue, Layke, and Tag, and the girls are Rawlings, Rayne, and Rivers. The birth was the first sextuplet birth in the history of Huntsville Hospital for Women & Children. The birth required a team of 40 staff members, including nurses, anesthesiologists, neonatologists, maternal-fetal medicine specialists, and surgical assistants. The hospital prepared by holding drills. Thankfully, the planned Caesarean section went smoothly and even more quickly than expected. The sextuplets arrived at just less than 30 weeks’ gestation. Every infant weighed 2-plus pounds and was stable and even crying at the time of the delivery. Going from a family of five to a family of 11 is an undertaking, but the family was up to the task. Mother Courtney Waldrop told WHNT that it was “amazing” to see the babies and that they were “so perfect.” Dying for a peek at these six cuties? Look for the Waldrop family in a TLC documentary slated to air later this year. 8 BabyPalooza.com
