The Moment Was Still Precious
Despite the fact that Lauren and David Perkins were not able to hold their infants when they were first born, as they were not in a stable enough condition, the nurses made sure that they could touch the finger of each of the babies on their way to the NICU. Lauren and David had not expected to see their babies until the next day, so this was a very special surprise for them.

The First Time Holding Them
While the Perkins sextuplets had to be rushed to the NICU immediately after being born, Allison Kate was stable enough to be held after four days there. It took 10 minutes for the nurse to adjust all the monitors and wires so that Lauren could hold her newborn, but Lauren describes this moment as when she first became the mother of sextuplets. She and David were also able to touch the hands of their other babies through the isolettes.
