Cheap cards / Octuplets!
Went out earlier (BEFORE the snow will hit!) to buy healthy, suitable, sharable snacks for Sunday's meeting: I saw SunRype Fruit Source (Mixed Berry / Plus Veggie Tropical) at Shoppers, and I think even Eric could eat these! Of course, he'll have to look at the ingredients first to make sure. However, they have no refined sugar, which is SWEET! (you decide whether that was a pun or not, haha) Then I went to Yuen Shing, where nothing really caught my eye. Stopped by Carlton Cards, where they had special Year of the Ox cards, but I didn't get one because they didn't have a $1 card section as I thought they did. Then I went to Hallmark Cards, where I got 50 $1 birthday cards / six $1 wedding cards for a bunch of people / two regular-price birthday cards for Steph and Harmony (signing at MissionsFest and the meeting ahoy!) / one $1 Valentine's card for little Hannah / one $1 special card for Chrystal / a generic Chinese New Year card for Grandma / heart stickers which didn't seem overpriced like the rest of them. Of course, I've forgotten how to write my Chinese name - not a surprise! Thank goodness I bought the birthday cards now since I only had five spare ones left at home!
Got home to finish the rest of the NutriGrain Sweet and Salty peanut butter bars that Mom gave me on Sunday, and found a message from Dawn. Yup, this blog is now unfortunately for invited readers only! I just invited her to read it, heh. (did it in a hurry the first time; sorry!) At least I have the Blazing BBQ chips out for 24 tonight! The computer just restarted on me - UGH!
I just heard that a California woman gave birth to octuplets recently!
BELLFLOWER, Calif. – 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 1.8 pounds and 3.4 pounds, doctors at Kaiser Permanante Medical Center told The Associated Press. "It's a surprise," Dr. Karen Maples said. "Eight newborns are in stable condition and they're doing quite well."
Kaiser spokeswoman Myra Suarez said she could not release any information about the mother, including her condition or whether she used fertility drugs. Such drugs make multiple births more likely. "They are all doing the best they can," Suarez told the AP.
The first baby was born at 10:43 AM; the eighth one at 10:48 AM. "They were all screaming and kicking around very vigorously," Dr. Harold Henry told the TV station. The first live-born octuplets were born in Houston in 1998, and one baby died about a week later. The surviving siblings — girls Ebuka, Gorom, Chidi, Chima and Echerem, and their brothers Ikem and Jioke — celebrated their 10th birthday in December.
Their parents, Nkem Chukwu and Iyke Louis Udobi, said they are astonished and grateful that their children have grown up to be healthy and active kids who are now in the fourth grade. Chukwu said the new parents have much to look forward to. "Just enjoy it. It's a blessing, truly a blessing," Chukwu said. "We'll keep praying for them." The Bellflower medical center is about 17 miles southeast of Los Angeles.
