I don’t think she is crazy, or a wack job, nuts, mentally ill, whatever you want to call it. I think she is a little dazed and confused and distraught and is just barely holding it in due to the fact she recently had a bunch of babies who are away from her, still in the hospital, still very sick. Some can pop up from this and do a round of media interviews and deal with paparazzi and all that frenzy, maybe all of ya’ll could, I don’t know. I know I couldn’t. I would be on Ann Curry’s show and Dr. Phil blubbering and twitching like a stone fool, I’m so serious. Part of my mind would be totally focused on my babies, I am sure I’d appear odd and scatter-brained too. She needs rest, and to heal up her body.

I hope she retreats from all these media appearances and focuses on resting, healing, and getting it together for her family.

So this is quite interesting. I read her wiki page, which linked to other multiples including Jon & Kate (they have that tv show) who had 6 at once and were also advised to do selective abortion on some of them. They declined as did Nadya. Yet no haterade thrown at them. I wonder why? Married couple? Christian couple, white mom? Working dad who earns decent pay?

They already had 2 kids after successful fertility treatments, why was no one like Ok you have had enough, you are insane to want more children. What number of kids is it, exactly, that is ‘enough’? Who gets to decide this number?

The case of the Chukwu octuplets is very interesting, especially the fact that they got little love from black american media. White media, you expect that given in the states black motherhood is so disparaged and outside of black culture black mothers get very little respect or recognition married or not, but I’d really expect black media to shower them with attention. The mom, Nkem Chukwu, is the first recorded black woman in the world to have octuplets. They have gotten some recent press due to the Suleman babies: http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/28891400//
