Maybe it IS a clown car!

Doctors said the mother knew at 23 weeks that she was going to have seven babies. Neither she nor her doctors knew she was carrying eight babies until she delivered Monday night.

  1. They don't mention in the article the range of birth weights....but with eight, my guess is that the biggest isn't over 2 pounds. Now, at least there's a hospital staff to take care of them. When they go home, the baby care scenario assumes almost industrial proportions....

  2. Yes, but the good news is that in the case of octuplets, the old ladies who volunteer in the maternity ward drop off reality show contracts along with the teddy bears and knitted hats...

  3. I'd prefer to think that some nurse or orderly played that "doot-doot-doodie-doodie" clown music as the births were happening.
