Let the intelligent design folks put THAT in their pipe and smoke it! One species giving birth to a completely separate species, heck, a completely different phylum.

Huh? Whats that?

Oh my....nevermind.

They probably charged her $10 per baby.

The delivery occurred at the hospital where Sparky was born. --Bob

Kaiser Permanente charges a $10 co-pay.

Thanks. That makes much more sense to me now.

The report I heard this AM is that she plans to breastfeed. My thought was that she doesn't have enough, in several senses of the term.

I hope she and her spouse don't plan on sleeping for the next eighteen years.

Sarcastic thoughts:

TLC has that hospital on speed-dial

Kate is nagging Jon to reverse the vasectomy before their cash flow is compromised by these upstarts

Two more tries and they pass the Duggars

Real thoughts:

Boy, do they have their hands full, literally and figuratively. I wish them well. Twice as many as I have in one shot? Just wow.

Like you, she didn't see the sign that said "Do not litter".

Don't feel bad. I thought he was blaming Rexer.

Doesn't count if you pull a McCaughey and take fertility drugs. Has anybody ever actually beat the Dionnes (natural identical multiples)?

I don't watch Jon and Kate because she annoys me, but aren't some of their kids adopted?

Go natural, go Duggar!

I thought it meant Rexer was the father.

She annoys me, too, but they are all from her own belly. She parlayed the stretch marks into a free tummy tuck.

I thought of Rexer, too, but saw no connection besides the $10 figure. Then I wondered if $80 meant something. I'm not too good with insurance jokes...

I saw on the news this morning that neighbors are saying that this woman already has six kids including a set of twins. There are supposed to be four boys and two girls already.

Hard to believe that this woman was given fertility treatments if she already had six kids.

Dr. Tim Johnson on ABC was saying that if there were treatments, the clinic or doctor involved was highly unprofessional and unethical. If it was IVF, he said that the usual procedure implants no more than four fertilized eggs at a time. If it was fertility drugs, there are ways to monitor how many eggs have dropped and to tell the couple to hold off with sex for the month if too many are present. The dangers to the health of the mother and the potential children are generally considered too great otherwise.

I saw this, and I'm wondering if some of it is prompted by the reality shows I like to rag on. I've read the Duggar thread on TWoP, and there seems to be a competition among some of the posters to have enough kids to catch the eye of TLC! Sheesh!

I don't think so...a good friend of mine is deep in the heart of fertility treatment land, and said that Kate took Clomid. I think it is a drug that increases the number of eggs ripe for fertilization per cycle.

They did fertility treatments - both for the twins and for the six. She says that she wanted to know what it was like to just have one. They also said that they knew when they started treatment that they would not do selective reduction.

I've heard that her babies are also getting donor breastmilk in addition to whatever she has.

I'm pretty sure that I heard somewhere that they're saying that the chances are real high that the boys are gonna end up having really little wookuses.
