The world's first live-born set of octuplets were delivered in Houston, Texas, in 1998.
One baby died about a week later - but the surviving children celebrated their 10th birthday in December.
Their Nigerian-born mother, Nkem Chukwu, said the new parents had much to look forward to, the Associated Press agency reported.
"Just enjoy it. It's a blessing, truly a blessing," Mrs Chukwu was quoted as saying. "We'll keep praying for them."
