BELLFLOWER, Calif. (AP) — A woman gave birth to eight babies in Southern California on Monday, the world's second live-born set of octuplets.

The mother, who was not identified, gave birth to six boys and two girls weighing between 1 pound, 8 ounces and 3 pounds, 4 ounces, doctors at Kaiser Permanante Bellflower Medical Center told The Associated Press.


Uh, hospital Jim works at. He's already been told the employee parking has been pre-empted by the media and getting to work is going to be ... interesting ... for a while.

Past that, he expects a lot of portables up in the NICU and exercising his mad mad baby skillz yo.

And he's delighted. Yup, this was anticipated...for a long time now.

BTW - get a good look if you see the hospital in reports. That's the OLD hospital, and it's going to be out of commission by summer - wave good bye to it.

Yeah, now the big question is - what's going in where the old one stood. I'm currently about five blocks away from the old one (and on the other side of San Tomas Expwy) and my son works in the shopping center at Homestead and Kiely. Getting there from here could really get to suck, depending on what goes in. Last I heard, they were talking about "high-density housing".

How would you like to work your mad baby skillz at AOD? Remember (not you)Donna, my friend who showed up at AX? :3

Santa Clara needs more housing like a hole in the head.

Traffic's bad enough.

Ummm... whoa.

That's the hospital I've been to ONCE (and, alas, no more)

*wry*

Actually, I think this incident is more appropriate to this saying than the many that inspired this image:

My friend, Abe, is a radiologist there. I'll have to see what he knows about things...

If we aren't in Taiwan exercising mad skillzors ourselves...we'll be there, working!

Hand the baby to Jim - no, seriously. He's MUCH better at that than I am.

I'm not wondering why the parents aren't identifying who they are. Are you?

Small world. I'll bet Jim knows him too - and he *likes* all the radiologists there.

yeah, but the family pictured above is also crazy fundie quiverful "WE WILL HAVE AS MANY CHILDREN AS GOD LETS US HAVE" types who now have their own tv show, so they probably get more scathing remarks than this family would
