HOUSTON, Sept. 18 (UPI) -- A Texas hospital is celebrating the delivery of sextuplets five months after the delivery of quintuplets, health officials said.

Doctors at Texas Children's Hospital in Houston delivered the quintuplets Monday to parents Sarah and Bruce Plauche of Lake Charles, La. In April, doctors delivered Lauren Perkins' six children, all healthy. The last of her six children was released Sept. 7.

The Plauche babies each weighed about 2 pounds and had been carried 28 weeks, doctors said. They remain at the hospital in critical but stable condition.

When asked by the Houston Chronicle what advice she had for the new parents, Lauren Perkins said: "Just take everything one day at a time. When they can't sleep and start crying, remember it's just temporary. Focus on the positive and have fun."
