A woman gave birth to quintuplets in in Salt Lake City, Utah over the weekend. The three girls and two boys were all born between 2 and 3 pounds, and were delivered seven weeks shorter than single-birth babies.

The mother of the Salt Lake City quintuplets gave birth over the weekend with the help of 8 doctors, an anesthesiologist and 12 nurses, reports the Associated Press.

The 34-year-old mother of the Salt Lake City quintuplets, Guillermina Garcia, was able to carry the quintuplets for three works longer than most quintuplets usually gestate. This allowed the set of five kids to more fully develop their lungs. 

Here is a video of Bill Phillips' quintuplets from back in 2009:

The Salt Lake City quintuplets were all born via cesarean section, with the help Dr. Elizabeth O'Brien, the head of the newborn intensive care unit at the University of Utah hospital in Salt Lake City. 

The Salt Lake City quintuplets were the first delivered in the hospital's history.

Under 10 sets of quintuplets are born each year in the United States according to the Center's for Disease Control who reported 37 children from sets of 5 or more born in the year 2010, according to the Washington Post. 

Even Salt Lake City quintuplets are rare despite the Mormon community in the area, whose religious tenants frown upon birth control of any sort. 

The father of the five newborns, Fernando Garcia, said in a statement at the hospital yesterday: "We feel like we're dreaming. It's incredible that we have five." 

The Garcia's used fertility drugs to incur the pregnancy and that dramatically increases the odds for something as rare as quintuplets.

The five names of the kids: Esmeralda, Fatima, Marissa, Fernando and Jordan. 

The three girls are all breathing on their own, but the boys are still using breathing tubes since their lungs haven't developed enough yet to work on their own. 

Dr. Tracy Manuck served as Guillermina Garcia's doctor at the hospital and complimented Fernando for supporting his wife in such a trying time, saying "He did not become a patient, which is a good thing."

Said Fernando when asked how he's going to care for such a large progeny:

"Now that they're here, we'll find a way. We're through the hardest part."
