Following the delivery, Davis said she was doing just fine."I'm real happy, when I get to look at all of them and everything like that," Davis said. "I couldn't wait for them to get here to see what they was going to look like and everything. And now they're here and I can see their faces and everything like that. It makes me real happy."Doctors delivered the Davis babies through C-section.Davis said the babies' names are Abby, Lexie, Ryan and Zack.The new mother was reportedly not taking fertility drugs.
