Harris Sextuplets
 | ||||
Chris and Diamond Harris became the proud parents of sextuplets on July 7, 2002.
Delivered by Caesarean section at the University of Alabama at Birmingham hospital, the babies were born at 26 1/2 weeks. A normal pregnancy is 40 weeks.
Diamond gave birth to all six children within three minutes of each other and they weighed between 1 pound, 3 ounces and 1 pound, 12 ounces.
Diamond had been undergoing fertility treatment, but, there have been multiple births (twins) in both her family and her husbands, Christopher. The couple also has an older boy, Dewayne.
Chris and Diamond named their children all beginning with the letter K, after their great-grandmother, Kassie Harris. Their names are Kiera Christine, Kaylynne Antoinett, Kaleb Reddrick, Kobe Byshari, Kieran Anthony and Kyle Jacob.
They are America's first recorded set of surviving African-American sextuplets. The fact that the babies were born with no medical conditions or deformities, further distinguishes them among the recorded births of sextuplets.
