SoCal Woman gives birth to Octuplets!!

Holy Crap as Frank Barone would say! And they are talking about breast feeding these babies on GMA....

God Bless them!

breast feeding? what is she just going to sit in a chair for 2 years and swap out babies?

I just caught the end of the story on GMA. My gosh, her b**bs will be dragging around her ankles next year!

Yep, breastfeeding. I just went back and watched the video of the interview with Diane Sawyer.Here is the link..

Go to 8 bundles of joy story. They were all born in 5 minutes, and the 8th one was a surprise, they were only expecting seven.They actually are doing very well for only weighing 1.5-3.5 lbs. All breathing on their own. Amazing...

Immebsmom,

Holy Monkeys would fit in right about here ! I had no idea she that many other children at home. She lives with her Grandparents? Whats up with that?

Well, the government will be taking care of these kids if there is no daddy around. She must have been taking something.

she better get more than her parents to help her with 14 children. see that is what always amazed me. i could have 10 miscarriages and no children but a crackhead could get pregnant in a bus station and leave it somewhere. go figure.

she does have a husband - he's a contract worker in iraq right now but coming home.

Husband or not, who in their right mind would have 8 embryos implanted when you already have 6 young children at home? It does not make any sense to me. And I would question the ethics of the physician who allowed her to undergo the fertility treatment. It is wrong on so many levels. Isn't fertility treatment for women who have difficulty conceiving?

Chrystine, I am with you on that one. So, so wrong.

ethics aside - she's nuts to want 14 children

And it gets even MORE convoluted!!!

good grief.

I just don't understand why a person with 6 children at home...all under the age of 8...would choose to have fertility treatments! ((shaking head in confusion)) Then we find out that she had previously filed bankruptcy & abandoned her home. I get in the "economic times" we are in that people are doing that, but how can you afford fertility treatments if you can't afford your house? Or to pay the bills you already have? Maybe I'm just being too judgemental, but I really don't understand this at all!

now i read somewhere that she worked at the fertility center so it's getting stranger yet.

Also read online today that she is trying to get Oprah and Diane Sayer (I think it was Diane) to help get a deal to have some sort of show. Hoping to make $2 million to support her kids. I think with the publicity (negative) that she has been getting it will not work out like she planned.

well it's either that or the rest of her country pays for her and her kids on welfare

This story just keeps getting more and more bizarre. I think she did this to make money.

And now she wants $2M!!!

OMG, it is really sad and disgusting.

With each revelation the story just gets stranger and stranger. Will have to watch the Ann Curry interview with her tonight, I'm sure there will be some answers and more weirdness there.

She says she is not on welfare & will never go on welfare, but currently receives food stamps and social security benefits for 3 of the 6 other children. Aren't food stamps a form of welfare? I know people make distinctions in their minds to justify receiving assistance, but she is really deluded. I have no idea how she can really believe she can spend quality time with each child once they all come home.
