I don't suppose anything's jumping out atcha, huh.

All 11 family members will be living in a one-bedroom apartment in East Los Angeles. Magdaleno said the living room is large and the babies are small, but she isn't sure what the family will do when they get bigger.

"She wanted to run," said her husband Afredo Anzaldo, 45, who lays carpet for a living.

He should have tried to lay carpet more and not taken her for so many runs. ;-)..

This story speaks to your situation, and I respect that.
I hope that the family is industrious and independent, but of course there's no way to tell that from this article. She gave the interview in Spanish, which makes me wonder about the children's future. I'm also curious as to where the funding for her fertility treatment came from.

Just a few things that caught my eye when reading this article and the ensuing comments about it:

First of all, having undergone infertility treatments myself, I would assume that, though they may not be wealthy, they are receiving income from some source. The state provided health-care dole does not cover this type of treatment, and I've found that privater insurers rarely do as well. This type of treatment is not inexpensively obtained.

Secondly, I would think that given her age, and her previous need for treatment in aiding conception, that she probably didn't give a second thought to contraception. You don't pay out of pocket the kind of money required to receive infertility treatments if it is thought that you can conceive on your own.

And last, I hate the fact that our nation is crawling with illegals, but we don't know who she is, how long she's been here, or whether her family has been here for 200 years. Not knowing that, and in the back of my mind assuming there might be problems because the article mentions that she is speaking in Spanish... I still respect a woman who is willing to go through with the pregnancy, already having triplets, knowing the possible complications to herself and her unborn babies. She could have had an abortion and we would have never known...

In high school I had a buddy that was one of triplets (three boys); two identical and one fraternal. The fraternal triplet didn't look anything like his brothers.

What made it more interesting was that the triplets had two older siblings (boy and girl) that were fraternal twins.

Mind you they were born (late 60's/early 70's) before there was IV....just really a fluke of nature.

She doesn't know how to explain it? It's time to super glue her knees together...
