A real life example of 'Cheaper by the Dozen'...
Being a mother to one or two kids can be challenging, but we really admire those parents that have more than two and do such a stellar job.
One mother who set out with her partner wanting more kids, after already having seven, got more than she expected.
Dominika Clarke, a 37-year-old mother from Poland, and her husband, Vince, were hoping for an eighth child...
"A Polish mom has delivered quintuplets, rounding out her family at a dozen children. The babies, who were delivered at 28 weeks of gestation on Sunday, weighed between 1.5 and 3 pounds." (Business Insider)
The couple attended a news conference last week and told the media that the babies were doing well, and mom, Dominika, was feeling much better than she expected.
Here's the crazy part, the quintuplets now join their siblings, who are between the ages of 10 months and 12 years.
The family already includes two sets of twins.
Mom has a positive outlook when it comes to managing her larger family.

The chances are quite rare of conceiving quintuplets - 1 in 60 million to be exact.
