US woman gives birth to octuplets

"A US woman has given birth to eight babies, becoming just the second person recorded in the US to have delivered a set of living octuplets.

The six boys and two girls, who were nine weeks premature, were delivered by Caesarean section in the hospital near Los Angeles, California.

The babies weighed in at between 1lb 8 ounces (820g) and 3lb 4oz (1.47kg) and are all said to be doing well.

They were screaming and kicking around very vigorously, a doctor said."

Good luck to the parents. And hopefully the legal problems won't be too bad. California DOES have some pretty strong anti-littering laws......... :-)

I'm just hoping that they aren't in violation of any local anti-kennel laws. You know, the ones that say you can only have so many pets, and beyond that you have to have a kennel license. ;)

And they were Kaiser babies, born at the Bellflower Medical Center. According to the internal communique, there were 52 people on the case, using four operating rooms for delivery and immediate care.

I love your icon... I watched it for a minute to make sure I was reading it right. I guess that makes me easily amused. :)

I have an icon specifically for people who comment on that icon. Usually, I use it when people say silly things like "must....comment....can't...stop....myself" You are not nearly as silly as that, but since you enjoy the icon, here's its brother.

I was disapointed to hear that what with octuplets and all that there wasn't a tentacle in the bunch, uh, litter...
