Babies

Babies are on my brain today. I have very good, close friends that are currently pregnant, but also I can't seem to escape this story about the woman who had 8 babies. I first learned of this woman because my good friend, Belkis, had her daughter at the same hospital. Bel's daughter was born prematurely and spent time in the nicu at the Bellflower Kaiser. She told me a little while ago there was a woman expecting 7 babies. The 8th ended up being a surprise.

I'm pms'ing (I know, TMI) so my mood is awful, but at the same time, this woman's story is pissing me off. This woman already has 6 kids at home ranging in ages from 8 on down. One of those kids is autistic. She is a SINGLE, 32 year old woman that lives in a 2 bedroom house with her parents. She apparently had the invitro done with money she received from a work-place accident. She has NO income and she spent the settlement money to make 8 more babies? Her Mother was quoted as saying her daughter has "always been obsessed with having children."

Today the public learned that she has enlisted a PR firm to represent her. The publicist claims this woman is college educated, articulate and very smart. Yeah, right. I believe that. The woman wants to become a "Parent Specialist" of some sort.

She is a selfish Bitch as far as I'm concerned. Why would she do this to those babies?! How can she possibly adequately care for 14 children without a Father and without an income?? If something happened to her, she will orphan 14 kids. It's a terribe thought, I know, but even I think about what would happen to Keona if I died?!

So, here it is...she is looking for a 2 million dollar deal for her story. Oprah and other media have contacted her to appear on their shows, but she wants to be paid. Now, I'm really pissed off. OF COURSE she wants to be paid...she has to. Is this why she did this dumb shit?!

A woman with 6 kids, no husband and no income can go over seas and get 8 embryos inplanted with money she was given due to an injury and what happens...she gets assistance, story deals and millions?! Insane!

There are millions of hard working, single mothers out here who don't get any notority, assistance or even a thank you. Nobody wants our story. Damn shame!

On another note, but still in baby thoughts...

I have to love Eryka Badu. Yesterday she gave birth to her 3rd child, a baby girl she named Twitty Milk. Twitty's Father is Jay Electronica...an up and coming rapper/writer/producer off of her label. Eryka's first son, Seven Sirius, is fathered by Andre 3000. Her second born daughter, Puma Sabti, is fathered by the D.O.C. Jeeeez! I thought I had a little somehting something for the rappers. This woman is the birth mother of Hip Hop! Gotta love her!
