America’s second set of octuplets are fine

BELLFLOWER: America’s second set of live-born octuplets are all breathing on their own, three days after a woman gave birth to the surprising bunch here in Southern California.

Three of the babies were still receiving oxygen. The mother had not yet been able to hold any of the babies — six boys and two girls — who were born weighing between 450 gm and 1.47 kg. However, she was able to see them in their incubators. — AP
