CAIRO, Egypt - An Egyptian mother of septuplets says she’s only seen her babies on TV but hopes to hold them and name them soon.

Ghazala Khamis is still hospitalized after giving birth Saturday to four boys and three girls. She told The Associated Press on Sunday that she’s “very anxious to see them” and to breast-feed at least some of them.

She says she’s “only watched them on TV” and finds them “very cute.”

Her doctor, Emad Darwish, says the babies remain in incubators but are in good condition. He says they weigh between about three and six pounds.

Khamis took fertility drugs to conceive, and was hospitalized two months ago in Egypt’s coastal city of Alexandria. She is already the mother of three girls.
