The last of five quintuplets born to an Iowa couple in October went home Sunday from an Omaha hospital.

Officials with Bergan Mercy Medical Center said Ella McCormick traveled home to join her two sisters, Anna and Ciara, and two brothers, Brody and David, with parents Kevin and Jodi McCormick,

Bergan Mercy's NICU will always be the babies' first home. The infants mastered breathing and eating there, more than doubling their weight from two pounds at birth to between four and five pounds now.

Each baby has his or her own personality. Dad Kevin describes the oldest Anna as "she's pretty stubborn, likes her way." Brody is described as "always happy, always has a smile on his face." Ciara is like a "little princess, likes her way, too." David "is probably the most laid back, easy going." While the baby of the family Ella is "the rock star of the group, was the littlest and surprises us every day.

The McCormick's found out they were expecting five babies after one round of fertility medicine. Kevin McCormick says "We were pretty speechless." Jodi McCormick says "took a while to sink it but after that excitement." Kevin adds "You worry a lot, want to make sure all five are healthy."

Doctor Michael Barsoom and the McCormick's used bed rest and medicine to hold off labor, buying the babies precious time. Meanwhile the team at Bergan Mercy started practicing for delivery day, which came just shy of 30 weeks.

Tracy Stokes, a NICU nurse, says "We actually took our resuscitation room, broke it down, took all the equipment in so we could see how it would look and orchestrate it and we knew what the expectations are each team were and we had five teams labeled A, B, C, D. And E."

Neonatologist Doctor Terry Zach says "Mrs. McCormick is a hero being able to stay pregnant as long as she was with the help of Dr. Barsoom and it really made our job quite a bit easier to take care of these babies."

Once strong enough, the babies left their temporary home for the real thing. Instead of NICU nurses, family and friends will help the McCormick's raise their five blessings.

Jodi McCormick says "just watching kids grow up and having lots of family and friends around and enjoying the chaos probably."
