Octuplets, Assemble!

Somebody had an origin today.

A California woman shocked doctors by giving birth on Monday to octuplets, believed to be only the second set of eight babies born in the United States.

The six boys and two girls were doing well and were in stable condition in the neonatal intensive care unit, said Dr. Karen Maples at the Kaiser Permanente Medical Centre in the Los Angeles suburb of Bellflower.

But two needed some help to breath with ventilators, she told a press conference.

The eight babies were born nine weeks prematurely by Caesarean section over a five-minute period, stunning a 46-member medical team that was expecting only seven babies.

Sources indicate the father was one Otto Octavius, though that allegation can neither be confirmed nor denied.

    Lol.. It’s always hard to have just one kid, what more 8 of them in one go too! That’s just got to be wrong for the kids too- it’s cramped in there for one kid! Good on them anyway. hopefully they all live. Good Luck!

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