30 Year Old, Pregnant Mother of 3 Becomes Grandmother of 12

In Southern Illinois today a 5 year old girl gave birth to 12 babies. "Well, the two babies came out so fast that they hit the wall and went into the toy bucket. The next one hit on the floor. The fourth landed right on my desk," said the mother, BabyGirl. "God put them in my belly, and they were so little, and then they grew a little more until I was about to explode, so I just pushed them out."
She claims that the radiologists only took an ultrasound of one child, so the arrival of the next 11 came as a total surprise. BabyGirl has asked her mother, FarmWife, who is expecting her fourth child this summer, to come and stay with her to help take care of the babies, "But only until I get used to them. Then you can go." The Grandmother is feeling a little overwhelmed, but the mother seems to be taking all 12 babies in stride. The children have not been named since there was no warning that a full dozen names would be needed.
OK, so maybe this wasn't in the Weekly World News, but this conversation did take place in my kitchen today.

Oh my goodness, did I need a laugh today! Thank you for providing that bit of hilarity. Please tell Baby Girl to take it easy. Goodness, how will she ever feed them all? Though she was an expert at nursing the "mote" so many years ago.....

I love you and your kiddos. Tell them I said hello.... Catch you later, Grandma.

Cheaper by the dozen? Baby girl has some mighty pretty babies. I bet they look just like her.

Okay, Mine would say

34 year old adoptive mother becomes grandma to the first child birthed by a 4 year old boy.

Yuri was having hard time understanding "birth" and birthmoms, so we watched a show with women having babies. He then later bent over put his hands between his legs and said " Mom, I just birthed a baby boy"???

These kids are so funny.

Dodecatuplets! That's gotta be a first!

Something really good for your skin that you may like to try is 100% pure coconut oil. At room temperature it is solid (cocoa butter) but will melt to an oil in the palm of your hand in a couple of seconds. It is an excellent skin moisturizer, won't irritate, you can use it on your hair, and even as a healthy replacement for butter on your bread! (It's not hard to find, either, try a health food shop or maybe even supermarket.) A little goes a LONG LONG way!!!

i have to second the coconut oil recommendation... hubby has bad eczema and would eat it by the spoon full... his skin felt a lot better. recently he's been taking "shots" of oregano oil mixed with juice, but that's just nasty, in my opinion. way too strong... it does seem to be helping his skin, too.
