Sextuplets are making news everywhere.

Six babies were born to one mom in a Vancouver hospital yesterday.

"They're very tiny but all six are alive," an informed source told The Province late last night. It is believed to be the first time sextuplets have been born in Canada.

The source said the four boys and two girls each weighed about 800 grams, or 1.8 pounds, and were born between 25 and 26 weeks into their mom's pregnancy.

HAMILTON, Mich. (AP) — The first of the Van Houten sextuplets, John, turned 3 on Sunday.

But Ben and Amy Van Houten now can boast more than just
Michigan's first surviving set of sextuplets.

They have a seventh child.
