"It is quite easy to miss a baby when you're anticipating seven," said Harold Henry, chief of maternal and fetal medicine and one of 46 doctors, nurses and assistants who delivered the children by Caesarean section.

On the news they estimate the hospital stay at $340K if nothing goes wrong.

The odds of this being a fertility drug induced multiple pregnancy is enormous. When you get to 8 doesn't it make you think more in terms of a litter than a human birth? I do sympathize with couples who are having trouble trying to conceive and it isn't as if the parents won't love these children nor that the children will necessarily be damaged but I find it a little bit creepy.

I think they will make a few million dollars in endorsement deals plus sponsorship.
Look at the Jon and Kate plus 8 on TLC.
They are not hurting with the book deals, and cable syndication.

Their health insurance company is crying right now... 8 babies, I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I have a eight month old and I am still not getting any sleep.

I heard that news just this morning, and I'm happy for the family. What a big family in a snap. I too dreamed of having that many babies in a pop. I wonder what will become them when they grew up - very very cute indeed.
