Courtney and Eric Waldrop welcomed six babies to the family. The couple already had three boys.
In a matter of minutes, Courtney and Eric Waldrop, 35, became the parents of nine kids after giving birth to sextuplets, three boys and three girls – adding to their three older sons.
She’ve been reliving her birth past : ” that day we were told we were pregnant with sextuplets, the day I was told the likely hood of sᴜʀᴠɪᴠɪɴɢ the pregnancy was slim because of a ʙʟᴏᴏᴅ clotting disorder I had, the day we were told all 6 babies may ᴅɪᴇ, the day we were told all 6 babies could most likely have severe ᴅɪsᴀʙɪʟɪᴛɪᴇs. I have relived the fear in Eric’s eyes as I was called back. I’ve relived that fear that was overwhelming controlling my every thought. Because going through with the pregnancy was not advised. I had the odds stacked against me. Thank You God for Life, Thank you God for the life of these six miracles, and thank you God for our story that I pray we use to help others who may be facing fears.”
It’s the first time sextuplets were born in Alabama since 2011. The babies were born at just under 30 weeks and weigh less than 3 pounds each. It took a team of nearly 40 medical specialists to deliver the newborns via C-sᴇᴄᴛɪᴏɴ.
The boys’ names are Tag, Layke and Blu, and the girls’ names are Rivers, Rawlings and Rayne. Courtney Waldrop said the most difficult part of her ʜɪɢʜ-ʀɪsᴋ pregnancy was not being able to give her three older kids the amount of attention they were used to.
She recounted the birth “They’re oh so very little but absolutely perfect!! May take a few more days for me to ʀᴇᴄᴏᴠᴇʀ. But it was all worth it. We had stabilization stations set up all around the delivery suite. So as each catcher received their baby, they took them to their designated beds and that’s where we had more team members there to help stabilize the babies and make sure they were doing well,”
From the first baby to the last baby, it took four minutes. It was very quick and fast,It was just sᴏ sᴜʀʀᴇᴀʟ. When the first girl was born, Courtney’s husband leaned and kissed her on the forehead and said, ‘You’ve got your first little girl.’ He was just very comforting to her and held her hand the whole time.”
Courtney describes their lives as “fun-crazy.” They love every second of it but it is something, having to feed around the clock. When the babies were starting to crawl, ushering in a whole new level of fun and chaos. It was a different kind of ᴇxʜᴀᴜsᴛɪᴏn.
The family has been filming Sweet Home Sextuplets, a new series on TLC, which follows their transformation from a party of five to 11-strong. Now they are having a big family with 11 children and their children are very beautiful. Many people followed her instagram commented:
