After spending a month under care and observation in the hospital’s NICU, Ava Louise, Clara Catherine, Camille “Millie” Whitney, Isabelle Frances and Luke Thomas were released to their parents in early January.

The Baudinets had relocated temporarily from Charlottesville to Phoenix to work with Dr. John Elliott, a specialist in multiple-birth pregnancies. When the quintuplets were released from the hospital, the Baudinets were faced with a new hurdle: how to transport the babies to Virginia in peak flu season.  With the help of a fellow UVA alumnus, the family was able to find a private jet to take them home.

Grandparents Kaye and Thomas Bolton, Charles A. Baudinet (Darden ’81) and Virginia C. Baudinet (Educ ’80) are assisting the Baudinets with childcare. Ms. Baudinet is documenting life with quintuplets on her blog, Baudinetquints.blogspot.com.
