ALL nine of these babies — born to one couple during a world record delivery — are doing so well they may soon be able to go home.
The Arby nonuplets — four boys and five girls — arrived via caesarean birth in May, weighing up to 2.2lbs each.

They are being looked after round the clock by nurses and their parents
They are looked after round the clock by a team of four nurses, mum Halima Arby-Cisse, 26, and dad Kader, 35, a navy sailor.
The couple, who already have a daughter, two, and live in a three-bed house, were flown from their native Mali, West Africa, to Morocco, where facilities allowed the babies’ safe delivery.
Since then, their care has cost the Mali government around ￡1million.
Kader said: “All of them are getting on very well and are a joy to look after.
"They are getting stronger every day and it may well be they are allowed to leave full-time medical care soon, so that we can take them home.”
