Karen and Ben are proud parents to Brady Christopher. Eli Benjamin. Ryan Patrick. Jackson Robert. Charlie Craig. MacKenzie Margaret.
The babies were transported from Bayfront Medical Center to All Children's Hospital shortly after their birth.
Gifts have been pouring in to Byler and her husband Ben. They have been showered with clothing, diapers, baby wipes and gift cards, as well as six months of in-home care and a $7000 generator for backup electrical power in case of storms.

Karoline and Ben Byler of Wesley Chapel are due to become the parents of Florida's first sextuplets. The Bylers, who have one daughter, 3-year-old Zoe, were trying for a second baby. Karoline, 29, has an ovarian condition that makes conception difficult. She underwent fertility treatments. If all goes as planned, they will add five boys and a girl to their family.
