EEEPS!!!! Eight babies!!

Wow. How very exciting and amazing and utterly terrifying! I often stand in awe when I see people coping with twins. Just the thought of dealing with EIGHT wailing new babies at once makes my brain ache. I know the babies are expected to stay in hospital for two months, so there's time to plan... but even so! And well done the mother for planning on bf all of them - I'm guessing any help they can get will be worth it. So far the prospect is good, all of them are breathing by themselves, despite being 9 weeks early.
And how sweet were the doctors doing the news conference? Clearly just SO excited about how well it has all gone, and thrilled with the surprise eighth baby!

My favourite quote was from the parents of the previous live octuplet birth - now the proud owners of SEVEN ten year olds (brain. hurting. again). Did they say 'you'll be exhausted'? Did they say 'get help!'? Did they say 'start saving now'? No! They said:
"Just enjoy it. It's a blessing."
Fab advice for ANY parent, I'd say :)
