“It was amazing…we couldn’t believe it,” said Dorman.
Armstrong said the mother, Tink, was six days past due when they heard her yelling on the baby monitor, NBC Charlotte reported.

“Then the fourth one came, and then the fifth one came,” said Dorman.
Tink gave birth to four girls and one boy. According to NBC Charlotte, two of them are going to a friend, Armstrong is keeping one and the other two girls are for sale.
