The Busby family
The Busby family consists of parents Adam "Buzz" Busby (born June 10, 1982), and Danielle Michelle Busby (born December 23, 1983), who have been married since 2006. Their oldest daughter, Blayke Louise, was born April 5, 2011.
Danielle delivered the quintuplets via Caesarian section on April 8, 2015, at 28 weeks.[4] Their weights and heights ranged from 2 pounds and 13.4 inches (Hazel Grace) to 2 pounds, 6 ounces and 14.4 inches (Olivia Marie).[5] They spent the first few months of their lives in the NICU at the Woman's Hospital of Texas.[6] The last quintuplet to be released, Ava, was discharged on July 6, 2015.[4]
Ava and Olivia are identical twins; Hazel, Riley, and Parker are fraternal triplets.

Health
Adam and Danielle had struggled with infertility, ultimately becoming pregnant both times by intrauterine insemination.[7] During their first infertility journey, infertility was attributed to Adam's testosterone levels, sperm count, and sperm motility being low; and to Danielle's irregular ovulation.[7] Adam was placed on Clomid, which helped his sperm counts, but his sperm motility remained low.[7] Danielle was also placed on Clomid to help her produce eggs and ovulate regularly.[7] They went through 5 cycles (5 months) of intrauterine insemination on Clomid before discussing in vitro fertilization as an option.[7] Instead of in vitro fertilization, they opted to switch Danielle to Femara and attempted intrauterine insemination again, ultimately becoming pregnant with Blayke.[7] During their second journey of infertility, Adam's testosterone levels, sperm count, and sperm motility were considered normal; thus no infertility treatment was necessary for Adam.[7] However, Danielle was placed back on Femara to help with egg production and ovulation.[7] On the fourth cycle of intrauterine insemination, Danielle became pregnant with the quintuplets.[7]
Shortly after birth, heart murmurs were detected in all five girls; this was treated with medication.[5]
Hazel's eye condition, congenital nystagmus, has been chronicled through the series.[8] The condition causes Hazel to have uncontrolled eye movements and hold her head at unusual angles to compensate for her lack of clear vision.[9] In 2016, Hazel underwent eye surgery in an attempt to improve her condition.[10][11] In 2017, Hazel was diagnosed as having an astigmatism in her left eye, which may ultimately be responsible for it occasionally turn in as a result of being underdeveloped. She was prescribed glasses to help with her left eye far-sightedness with the hope that her vision will improve as her eye develops.[12]
Adam has opened up, both privately and publicly, about his struggle with postpartum depression.[13] While it was a process to reach a point of acceptance, Adam has now accepted professional help for his sake, and the sake of his family and relationship with Danielle.
