As the show wraps up another season, fans are eagerly awaiting the next one.

To celebrate, we’ve put together a rerun of the family’s most cherished moments, from Danielle’s pregnancy with the quints to their growing up. Continue reading for an emotional throwback.
OutDaughtered Mom Danielle’s Pregnancy!
Fans of OutDaughtered know well that Danielle Busby faced a tough battle with infertility. However, the good news came sooner than expected. In 2015, Adam and Danielle conceived through intrauterine insemination. On April 8, 2015, Danielle gave birth to the quintuplets via Caesarean section at just 28 weeks into her pregnancy. Naturally, their arrival made headlines, leading to the Busbys signing a contract with TLC.
The Quints
Adam and Danielle shared an adorable picture of the quints right after their arrival. Notably, the OutDaughtered star delivered all the babies with the help of a dedicated medical team. At that time, Dr. Alexander Reiter, who was Danielle’s doctor, praised her resilience throughout the tough process. During that time, Danielle also expressed her gratitude. She said, “We are so thankful and blessed. I honestly give all the credit to my God. I am so thankful for this wonderful hospital and team of people here, they truly all are amazing.”
At One Year Old
The famous Quints celebrated their first birthday on April 8, 2016, marking a significant milestone in their lives. OutDaughtered star Danielle and Adam are no strangers to the challenges of raising six daughters. However, their struggles intensified after the arrival of the lovely quints. In an interview with Inside Edition, Adam explained that even stepping out of the house became a huge issue.
On a positive note, Danielle added, “It’s been fun being able to capture our memories, our life, how much they’re changing — they change so quickly.” The couple recognizes that they are an extraordinary family and deeply appreciates the addition of quints into their life. They emphasized, “We wouldn’t change it for the world.”
When The Quints Turned Two!
While Adam and Danielle thought life with the quints was chaotic from the start, the real trouble began when they turned two. The mother of six d described the quints as being in “full force.” Danielle initially believed they had more time because the quints were born prematurely. However, she quickly realized that peace was hard to come by.
