WTF???!!!!


A woman gave birth to octuplets this morning...this is what I found on Yahoo.com....

The mother gave birth to six boys and two girls weighing between 1 pound, 8 ounces, and 3 pounds, 4 ounces, doctors at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center said. The hospital had scheduled a Caesarean section for seven babies, but doctors were surprised when an eighth came out at 10:48 a.m.


Ummm...surprised when an eighth came? First of all...this woman had 8....babies ....she was carrying 8 babies...whew...I get tired just with my one! (Or at least thats what the doctor's told me...just one)....my second wtf! goes to...this woman has gone 30 weeks or so thinking she's "only" having 7 babies...and Ooops....here pops out one more! But I guess its easy to miss an extra baby...with seven other babies squeezed into that little bit of space..its a wonder they saw anything at all. Craziness! As a matter of fact...the ultra-sounds are hard enough to figure out with one baby.
They say that the babies ranged from 1lb and some change to 3 or 4lbs....I'm sure the doctors can keep these little ones healthy so they can grow big and strong. WOW! Oh and the mother plans on breast feeding all of them!!! Go ahead girl :)

This is the kind of stuff that gets me puzzled...doesn't that hurt? I want to see a picture! Could you imagine the stretch marks on that one! Anywho...these types of deliveries are very delicate matters...so I hope for the best for the babies and mommy.
