Special Delivery: How We Are Raising America's: Only Sextuplets . . .and Loving It

by Keith Dilley

Description

"The Dilleys are unique - the only family in American history with sextuplets. Special Delivery is their remarkable and inspiring story. It captures the joy of parenthood and offers a message of hope to couples trying to conceive and stressed-out parents trying to cope." "The Dilleys spent five difficult years trying to have children. Becki read widely on infertility and discovered new drugs. They visited the top specialists. In the end, they spent $15,000 on treatments, paying the bills by show more working extra shifts and cashing in their life insurance. Finally, Becki took the most powerful drug on the market. It really worked." "The result: six vigorous children who have just turned two years old. The sextuplets have already gone through 1,000 packages of diapers and truckloads of food. By their first birthday, they weighed a collective 120 pounds and were strong enough to nearly rip a full-size door off its hinges. Now they are talking, walking and engaging in some fascinating group dynamics, captured in the Dilley family photo album and reproduced here in detail, with notes from the proud parents." "With humor and delight, the Dilleys describe their unusual life: having their babies delivered by a medical team of thirty; being advised by a renowned babyproofing expert; becoming a national phenomenon, visited by network TV shows and tourists; and receiving vital support from the Indianapolis community. Keith had to learn how to vacuum and diaper; Becki had to endure a mega-pregnancy and adjust to life as a working mom."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
