Female gives birth to octuplets…and she’s HUMAN!

A Southern California woman gave birth to EIGHT children today! The crazy thing is that I am talking about a human giving birth to humans. The great thing is that all eight children were healthy.
Although the babies were nine weeks premature ranging in weights from 1 pound to 3 pounds, all were said to be healthy and they will remain in the hospital for the next few weeks. The mother, who has not been identified, will be ready to head home by the end of the week.
Fox News had reported that the family and doctors had only planned on delivering seven babies on Tuesday, they were surprised when an eighth popped out. “It is quite easy to miss a baby when you’re anticipating seven,” said Dr. Harold Henry, who was one of the 46 doctors, nurses and assitants that helped to deliver the babies.
Congratulations….I suppose.

It was just released in the media that the woman already has six children, her husband is returning to Iraq and she is in her late 20’s.
Yikes!
The identity of the mother is being protected, so her name and face will not become public, but… if you see a mother of 14 around town give her a hand.

it’s pretty amazing that all eight of those babies survived the birthing process
