PURVIS, Miss. — For the first time this week, a Mississippi couple got to hold their baby quintuplets together and commemorate the milestone with a couple of precious family photographs.
Haylee and Shawn Ladner of Purvis, Mississippi, welcomed their five children -- Adalyn Elizabeth, Everleigh Rose, Malley Kate, Magnolia Mae and Jake Easton -- back in February but although they've been able to hold them individually, it wasn't until this past Sunday when they could both cradle their little ones simultaneously.
Haylee Ladner said it was"just so sweet" to see all of their kids, who she describes as"miracle babies," interacting with each other. The babies were born on Feb. 16 at 28 weeks and 1 day gestation and were delivered by caesarean section at Wiser Hospital for Women and Infants at the University of Mississippi Medical Center. Since then, they have been in the neonatal intensive care unit at Children's of Mississippi Hospital in Jackson.
