LOS ANGELES, CA -- Doctors are giving updates on the eight babies all born to one mother in California.

In a press conference Dr. Karen Maples says, ""We understand that you are all curious about the arrival of the octuplets and we appreciate your respect for our family's privacy. Please know in our own time we will share additional details about this miraculous experience."

According to Dr. Mandir Gupta, "All eight babies they are doing good. They continue to get better everyday. Seven of them are breathing on their own and do not require any oxygen. Only one baby still requires just a very small amount of oxygen which we think we will be able to take off tomorrow."
