Throughout the marathon of deliveries, the sisters' parents, Sondra and Jack Dames, were on nearly round-the-clock watch at the hospital.
Roden told Syler, "I was the last one (to deliver). I looked at mom right after I had Kara. I said, 'You look awful. You look like you're the one that had the babies and not us.'
"Poor thing, she lived at the hospital. And my dad did, also. They slept in the waiting room for a lot, the days they were there."
Sondra and Jack were looking forward to the next "madhouse" family dinner now that their brood of grandchildren has grown to 10.
"The only difference is now they'll all have to bring their own groceries," joked Grandpa Jack.
Dr. Evelyne Schuetz, who monitored the sisters' pregnancies, said, "I've had sisters deliver within a week or so of each other, but nothing like this."
Her medical partner offered to deliver the third, but Schuetz said no way.
"I said, 'I've delivered the two, I have to deliver the third.' "
