The arrival of octuplets surprised everyone involved.
A team of 46 doctors, nurses, and surgical assistants at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, delivered eight babies this morning. They were "only" expecting seven!
This is only the 2nd time in U.S. history that there's been a successful delivery of octuplets. Their arrival was nine weeks early, but all are breathing on their own, according to a CNN broadcast this morning.
The mother has declined to have her name released to the media. My guess is she's got enough on her plate without being a celebrity at the moment.
Doctor's say she intends to breast feed. Before your jaw drops in disbelief, I should explain that she's going to "express" the milk and give it to each baby by bottle.
Congratulations to Mom and Dad! You have your work cut out for you!
