Merry Christmas!.......

A woman received the ultimate Christmas present when she gave birth to a child that she didn't know she was carrying.
Tina Cook was rushed to hospital by partner Peter Hearn after waking in the night with stomach pains. Just ten minutes after arriving, she had given birth to 5lb 8oz Alfie.
Ms Cook, 31, who has two other children - Amy, nine, and five-year-old Ruben - was completely unaware of her pregnancy when she woke in the night with cramps, even though she was full term.
'I am just so shocked. I had no idea I was pregnant,' she said. 'My period finished three days ago and it didn't click until I got to the hospital and I felt the head.
'I've read about things like this but never quite believed it as I know what it is like to be pregnant.
'The other pregnancies I knew about. I felt all the kicking, everything was normal but I didn't feel this one at all. We are totally unprepared.
'It is all still sinking in, but it is the most amazing Christmas present and although we were not planning a third child, we are overjoyed.
Ms Cook had spent much of the past month moving heavy furniture around and helping her grandmother, completely unaware of the unborn child.
Alfie was born at 5.05am on Saturday at North Devon District Hospital's accident and emergency department.
Proud father Mr Hearn said: 'I am still in shock. I just don't know what to say.'

Merry Christmas!.......
I’m happy for her ...
but honestly is she really THAT stupid?
My wife’s cousin had a baby last year. They didn’t know she was pregnant until it started coming out while she was on the toilet............
Hmm. Maybe over there, 5.5 pounds is full term. He also looks bigger than that in the photos.
In any case, hope the little fellow’s doing well and grows up to be a big strapping lumberjack like his mother. *ducking*
The FIRST time I was pregnant I knew it within a few weeks. She's been through the process twice before and didn't realize it was happening again???
LOL!
Now that does happen. My father was born over the bowl. And not near as big as Alfie here, but he grew out of it.
Classy comment.
I know a woman who had 3 kids and was completely surprised by #4, just like this woman. She even bears quite a resemblance.
STUPID WOMAN!
Is that better?
Or a tad touchy today.
never mind. I really don’t want to know YOU.
What cute kids. The birth of a baby — expected or not — is ALWAYS a good thing.
A stealth baby?
It’s been known to happen.
A gift from God is always a good thing!...........
Did you bother to READ what you WROTE?
She is beyond STUPID ... . Stupid is flattering.
She's also got two other kids ... .
Honestly ... .
I'm happy for her but her STUPIDITY is frightening.
She’s had three children - and she apparently ran over your dog while doing it. Give over already.
You are baaaaaaad. LOL
Not expected but seemingly wanted.
‘Tis a blessed event.
