    Meet The BABIES!

     

     

    The 33-year-old mother also showed off her eight babies for the first time, introducing them one by one to Curry.  "Hi, Maliah, your eyes are open," she said, putting her hand on the head of the baby in the first incubator before moving to the next tiny infant. "This is Noah and he's doing well. He's blond, the only one with blond hair." She moved on down the line of incubators, each child identified by the hospital with a letter from A through H. "Hiya, Jonah ... this tiniest one was the troublemaker," she told Curry, gently putting her hands on each child. "This is Isaiah, baby C, he's getting bigger, he's starting to recognize my voice." Next was Nariah. "I wish I could be here all day," Suleman told the infant. "This is Jeremiah," she continued. "He's on lights for jaundice." Then it was, "Hiya, McCai," and "Hi, Josiah, I wish I could stay all day long, but I can't. Your brothers and sisters at home want to see you ... I can't wait until they're all together. We are not a whole family." The eight babies turned 2 weeks old on Monday and are expected to remain at Kaiser Permanente Medical Center in Bellflower, Calif., for several weeks. NBC's chief medical editor, Dr. Nancy Snyderman, has estimated the cost of delivering the infants and caring for them until they are healthy enough to leave the hospital at $1.5 to 3 million dollars.
