She's probably aiming for a diet/exercise show.

No way was that done naturally.

No stretch marks?

And evidently the doctor performed an amazing c/section to deliver 8 babies, since the scar must be extremely low.

She also swore that she kept getting pregnant because she could not discard or give away the frozen embryos and when her doctor was brought up before the board, it came out that she used FRESH embryos, newly created, each time she got pregnant (6 pregnancies carried to term and some miscarriages) and that the frozen embryos are still.. frozen. Lied over and over about that.

I doubt she could look like that after 5 pregnancies and twins. let alone octuplets. And it must have been an awfully neat little c-section scar, too.

It's really easy to airbrush out the scars. Agree that there's no way she didn't have surgery.

If this woman told me the sun was out, I'd go to the window and check. It would likely be nighttime. I wouldn't believe a word she says. I just hope Child Services is keeping an eye on her kids.

I am glad to see all 8 babies celebrate their first birthday!

I agree with above post, too!

Wow those babies look huge for a year, having been micro premies.. but I'm definitely not an expert on babies..

Interesting that she got blonde babies with straight hair this time when the father was supposedly the same as for her other kids, who have dark curly hair (dad and Nadya both having dark hair).

The babies in the pic are cute.

The babies in the middle/furthest from the photographer look smaller. I imagine they are all about the same size.

I am relieved to see them all. I hope they are all healthy and happy and that the other 6 children are too. I can't imagine that they are all happy though. I hope they are being well cared for. I have great fears that they aren't.

As I recall there was a set of twins?

Or, I guess two sets of twins were at least claimed..

from Wikipedia:

[edit] Names
The children carry their biological father's last name of Solomon.[2] The babies' names, gender and birth weight in birth order are:[2][3][4]

Noah Angel Solomon - male; 2 lbs 8 oz
Maliyah Angel Solomon - female; 2 lbs 2 oz
Isaiah Angel Solomon - male; 3 lbs 1 oz
Nariyah Angel Solomon - female; 2 lbs 3 oz
Makai Angel Solomon - male; 1 lbs 12 oz
Josiah Angel Solomon - male; 2 lbs 9 oz
Jeremiah Angel Solomon - male; 1 lb 13 oz
Jonah Angel Solomon - male; 2 lbs 7 oz

Two sets of identical (monozygotic) twins (Maliya & Nariya and Jeremiah & Makai) are claimed among the octuplets due to division of two of six transferred embryos.
The boy twins seem to have been smallest at birth but they could easily have caught up.

And one set seems to be the girls, so they might be smaller by now

Well, she made today's local paper here, no picture, buried in the local section..

Octuplets celebrate first birthday quietly

Lou Ponsi, Orange County Register

La Habra - A bouquet of balloons - six blue and two pink - was delivered to the home of Nadya Suleman Tuesday, the first birthday of the world's longest-living octuplets.

Suleman gave birth to six boys and two girls, each weighing less (than) three pounds, on Jan 26, 2009. The mother was planning to keep the birthday festivities low-key with her octuplets and six older children, said her attorney, Jeff Czech.

A larger party, which included extended family and friends of the older chilren was held Sunday. Youngsters frolicked in a bounce house, and the octuplets smeared their hands and faces in the birthday cake.

"They had a blast," Czech said. "They are really starting to get around."

One of the octuplets is walking, he said.

The family is starting to outgrow the four-bedroom home, and Suleman would like to move, Czech said.

However, Czech said money is tight for Suleman, and he wouldn't speculate on when she would move.

"She is doing her best," he said. "The octo-van is falling apart, and there are lots of expenses."

Czech said he is negotiating with a production company for what he calls a documentary - as opposed to a reality show.

===========

Grr.. I bet he's one of her bigger "expenses" and for a low key celebration who needs an attorney or anyone else to make an announcement.

And of course she seems to have posed for a photographer with more than the reported "modest" collection of just 8 balloons, so PFFT!

Yep, that is the only important thing.. lots of unfortunate things, but if the babies are indeed healthy, huge huge plus.

Happy, hsrd to think it will last, given the affect shown by the older kids, but if the babies are healthy, they have that to build on.

How old is the van? Didn't she get it brand new?

Anyway, at least the kids look happy and healthy.

(from The View's website):

"Speaking of Hot Topics Nadya Sulman aka The Octomom was here to clear up some of the rumors swirling around about her as a mother and the process she went through to have a total of fourteen children. First Nadya spoke about her children and how she manages her time, bank account and life. Then she opened up about IVF treatments and insurance companies not paying for it. She also discussed her parents and what the relationship between them and the children are like."


OK, that's 4 min. of my life wasted. I watched the clip. She really didn't discuss any of that. She mostly cackled a loud irritating grating cackle. (Sherri called it a crazy laugh.) It was crazy and not in a good way. All the ladies were talking at once. She mentioned that insur. doesn't cover fertility treatment and that when she used to work, she worked 70-80 hrs. a week and people asked her if she was saving to buy a house and pay cash for it. "Ah....no...cackle cackle" (she almost said it like someone would say "duh")

She said she won't have any more kids unless far in the future she meets someone and then would want 1 baby.

She does not feel that the Dr. did anything wrong because she wouldn't have all her kids if he'd done things differently.

The sperm donor is a friend of hers. He doesn't have any relationship with the kids and she does not know if he wants to and says it is not her place to ask him that. (It wasn't mentioned if he is the donor for all the kids or just the octuplets.)

That's really all there was in that video clip. Maybe that wasn't the entire interview. Maybe the entire interview was longer.

I think she thinks she is cute and delightful. Even if I didn't know who she was she would have been very annoying to me. Her voice was annoying and all that cackling was just awful. It was a very disjointed interview.

I also find Octomom's voice irritating as soon as she opens her mouth. I do believe that I would rather watch Jon Gosselin on tv over Octomom. Now that is pretty bad.

I haven't seen the clip, but other times I've seen her I couldn't figure out what it was about her; I think you just nailed it. She probably does think she's cute and delightful but to most of us she just comes off seemingly mentally unbalanced.

The sperm donor is the same for all the kids and he has said he's not happy about what happened.

Not to mention that there are still more frozen embryos out there.

She definitely thinks she is smarter than anyone interviewing her or in her life and totally irritating. I certainly didn't watch her on the view or in any clip and yep, if I was forced to choose, would have to watch Jon Gosselin and that's a pretty bad choice to have to make.

She also can come across as downright mean.

I'd post the very scary looking picture of Octomom from the nightclub that goes along with this article, but after viewing how to do so, it seems to be way more steps to post an image than I care to do.

OctoMom Goes Clubbin' in NYC

Nadya Suleman celebrated cracking up on "The View" by hitting the NYC club scene on Wednesday night.

While someone else watched her 14 kids, the 34-year-old OctoMom did her best "Sex and the City" impersonation and partied with pals at some hotspots in the Meatpacking District -- including Tenjune and Greenhouse, where this photo was taken.

We're told Octo partied way past 2 AM -- and the DJ kept shouting her out in the middle of the club.

Sources inside Tenjune tell us Octo was pretty quiet inside the joint -- no drinking, no dancing.

I did see her on the view the other day. She really is a complete whack job. She was like some kind of a space cadet. I sure wouldn't want her taking care of any kids of mine. She truly is a NUT CASE!!!!!

Thanks Twiggyish!

I saw a clip of her appearance from The View and Whoopi's expression said it all. LOL

I was wondering, where is Nadya and/or her mother from? Maybe her behavior that comes across odd is really just a difference in culture. Are they from another country?

I don't know any other country that would produce that laugh.

Nadya was born in Fullerton, CA.. USA. Her parents married in Las Vegas.

Her father is Iraqi.

I had an Iraqi brother in law and I can assure you he didn't laugh like that.

I wasn't attributing her possible culture to her laugh, but to her eccentricity in general. Nadya and her mother speak oddly, almost sounds like they have an accent, so I thought maybe they were from somewhere else. I guess she is just weird or unbalanced then.
