Sextuplets after 7 years

A Queens couple spent seven years raising their only child, a son, until New York's second-ever sextuplets arrived.

The four boys and two girls were born earlier this month to 31-year-old Digna Carpio and her 36-year-old husband Victor, a maintenance worker with the city's Housing Authority. But the Queens couple kept the news quiet to make sure the infants all lived.
