A Houston couple have welcomed the nation's first ever all-girl quintuplets.

Proud parents Danielle and Adam Busby and big sister Blayke met Olivia Marie, Ava Lane, Hazel Grace, Parker Kate and Riley Paige last week for the first time after a straight forward C-section.

Delivered in only four minutes, it is the first time the globe has seen all-girl quintuplets since 1969.

Dr. Alexander Reiter, who delivered the babies at the Woman's Hospital of Texas said the prognosis is good for the babies, who were all delivered at 28 weeks and two days.

Born via IVF, the Busby's believe that their new quintuplets and three-year-old daughter Blayke are their miracles.

Speaking in a video posted to their blog on Sunday, the new parents said they were 'overwhelmed and extremely busy' after their daughters' births.

'Riley Paige is the feisty one, always kicking around, always punching around and she is pretty much typically that way,' said Danielle.

'Parker, who was on my upper side on my right side, is just so relaxed. She is content and calm.

'Hazel, is the little bit. She was squished the whole time, so she loves to just keep her arms by her face, just so cute. She has a full head of blonde hair.

'The twins, Olivia Marie, Ava Lane are getting a little fesity and have a wild streak.'

'They are all doing pretty well.'
