We all saw what we figured we would on the last airing of the Jon & Kate Plus 8 Show this week, that they’d announce a divorce. Now that they’ve announced the

Here’s what Kate told People magazine:

“On a good day, I feel relief,” Kate says, curled up in a chair in her living room. “On a bad day, I feel failure.”

Kate told them this on the day the kids were happily making Father’s Day Cards for Jon and drawing hearts all over them. Kate would not seen at the house on Father’s Day by the press.  Here’s what she actually said during the show:

“Over the course of this weekend, Jon’s activities have left me no choice but to file legal procedures in order to protect myself and our children,” Kate Gosselin said. “While there are reasons why it was appropriate and necessary for me to initiate this proceeding, I do not wish to discuss those reasons at this time, in the hope that all issues will be resolved amicably between Jon and myself.”

Now it wouldn’t be fair to print what Kate said and not Jon, here’s his response according to the:

“I was hurt by the statement Kate made last night about the divorce.

I have always done everything I can to protect our family.  This weekend, I was home with the kids for four days, just being a dad. No nannies, just the kids and me. In fact, with the exception of Aaden’s visit to the doctor, I couldn’t have imagined a better way to spend Father’s Day weekend.”

Does anyone know what his weekend activities were? If she was meaning Father’s Day I thought he was with them? Even the media has pictures of them all together.  Maybe it was over Aaden getting hurt, not sure. Either way it looks as if this is about to become the world’s biggest news story.

Many rumors have flown around the net today over the whole Jon & Kate Plus 8 announcement last night. For

IMG: TLC

One of the boxes from what the Associated Press reported was the one saying they have lived separate and apart for at least 2 years. Now of course if this were true it would mean the couple haven’t really been together like the show has aired. Or it could mean they have been apart and just in different rooms of the house, ie Kate in the room and Jon on the couch or playroom. We know he also stayed with his mom for a bit, not sure how long that was.

Course TLC has made a statement in regards to this denying the whole thing stating that the documents were misleading. I mean they wouldn’t want to lie to everyone either. I bet if they were lied to during the taping this might be grounds for a lawsuit on the Gosselin’s part.

TMZ.com has posted what they believe was misunderstood:

We now know what Kate checked on the divorce papers, which are confidential. There are two grounds for a no fault divorce in Pennsylvania — the first is waiting 90 days after the papers have been served. Then, if both Jon and Kate agree the marriage is “irretrievably broken” … the divorce can proceed.

And there’s a second option — that they have lived separate and apart for 2 years. But that doesn’t mean they have been separated for that long. It means she must wait 2 years from the moment she considered the marriage kaput and began living separately (if only in different bedrooms). We’re told the real separation between Jon and Kate is very recent and Kate checked the box just to get the clock ticking.

It does seem strange but since everything is sealed I’m guessing they don’t want anyone knowing what really went on and what’s what. TMZ did go on to state she checked both because she wasn’t sure if Jon thought the marriage could be saved or not. Was Jon having second thoughts? I’m not sure but there have been pics of Kate today at a gas station wearing her wedding ring. I doubt this means much though, women love their jewelry.

One more thing, it was announced today by TLC that the show will be on a hiatus for at least a month.

Ireland has given birth to their first set of sextuplets for the country since 1983. Nuala and Austin Conway gave birth 14 weeks prematurely at the Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital in Belfast and have asked for privacy during this time. The preemies, four boys and two girls, are currently in intensive care.

It actually took 30 people to help deliver the six babies via caesarean section. The babies came out weighing between 1lb 7oz- 2lb 2oz, hopefully they each gain the weight needed to go home.

I’ll keep ya posted as news develops.

Talk about a baby shower, this one had over 800 people show up at the shower and it was for no one in particular but for those that need it. A bit confused? On Sunday the Monmouth Mall all the gifts that were brought to the baby shower will be donated to the Regional Perinatal Consortium of Monouth and Ocean Counties. I think this is such a great thing.

What happened at the baby shower? There was a business showcase, a parade of babies and of course giveaways. Yep those that came were actually able to win some very nice gifts. The Stroller Nanny was one of the companies that donated a prize, the prize of course was a stroller.  The stroller actually has a dvd player, talk about walking in style.  There were also classes on prenatal massage, post-partum depression and car seat safety.

What a wonderful idea, I hope they had a smashing success.

The last of the Octuplets baby has finally made it home. Little Jonah Angel Suleman finally got to join his brothers and sisters at home after the doctors finally agreed he was heavy enough to go home. Jonah actually tripled his birth weight, however that wasn’t too hard to do since he only weighed 1lb 8oz. He went home at 4lbs 10oz.

This was a very historic moment for Kaiser as this was their first time with Octuplets, not to mention the last one was able to go home. But it also marked the first time Nadya Suleman would have all of her children under one roof. Congratulations Nadya for being able to bring your last child home. I’m sure this is a big relief but I’m also sure it is a bit nerve-wrecking having them all there and so tiny.

In other Nadya Suleman, aka Octomom news….it seems she is in talks with 4 production companies about doing a reality show. No clue whom she’s chatting with but I’m sure we’ll know more details soon.

The famous Duggar Family is adding one more child to the mix. But no, this time it isn’t the mother of 18 children having another child. Instead, the oldest of the 18 children, Josh Duggar, has announced that he and his wife are expecting.

For those that may or may not have been following along, Josh Duggar got married to Anna in September of 2008. When it came time to find out if they were pregnant, it was Josh that read the little stick. He got to tell Anna she’d be joining the “Mommy Team.” Oh and before anyone asks, she actually found out she was pregnant February 2nd. She’ll be using the same doctor that has delivered the last three Duggar children.

Here’s what Josh told the press:

“I am very excited and am learning new ways every day that I can be there for my wife,” Joshua said. “I thought that she would be the only one going through the emotions of pregnancy, but I’m right there with her.”

So now Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar are going to be welcoming their first grandchild into the world soon. Currently the Duggar Family has Josh 21, Jana, 19; John-David, 19; Jill, 17; Jessa, 16; Jinger, 15; Joseph, 14; Josiah, 12; Joy-Anna, 11; Jeremiah, 10; Jedidiah, 10; Jason, 8; James, 7; Justin, 6; Jackson, 4; Johannah, 3; and Jennifer, 2.  I wonder if this means they’ll stop having children. What do you think?

A set of quadruplets were born right here in Kansas City on April Fool’s Day and no that isn’t a joke. Stephanie and Randy McCleary went in for an induction on this very silly day and ended it on a very positive note, the birth of their four babies.  Elizabeth, Cameron, Matthew and Zachary were born and the only joke will be from them as they torture their parents with nightly feedings and diaper changings.

As for what they might need, they might need diapers and wipes but they’ve been stocking up on that since Christmas.Congratulations to the happy couple and the four new babies.

Leah and Mathura Poonai gave birth over the weekend to triplets and while many would be excited with the birth of their child they aren’t. Sure, they are happy to have successfully carried their three children

sxc.hu

but now they have a bit of worrying to do. Just what type of worrying besides how they will care for three children at once?

Leah’s husband, Mathura was laid off two months ago from his construction job. Leah’s also unemployed but insists she will get a lot of help with caring for the babies. The couple will be bringing home their triplets, two boys and one girl very soon.   This was not a planned pregnancy, Leah already had a 4 year old son before finding out she was pregnant. The couple have yet to name their babies, but I’m sure we’ll all know when it happens.

My only worry is if she will be able to afford them, or her own place. Hopefully one of the two parents will be able to find a job. Any recommendations? I guess there always is reality TV though.

Nadya Suleman, aka Octomom, was on Dr.Phil earlier today and while I may not be able to watch it I have seen footage from youtube, watched Nadya’s online diary and been updated by my friend, Dexie.

What went on today? The Angels in Waiting were on the Dr.Phil show today to spill all the beans about what’s going on behind the scenes. Honestly I think that was the whole reason they were there in the first place. This was a definite way Dr.Phil would have some stuff to talk about on the show. Remember according to what Nadya had said to the press she knew someone was leaking and talking about her, she knew she was being judged. The Angels in Waiting told Dr.Phil they wrote up three reports.

What were the reports?

-  mayhem inside
-  high-risk of abduction
-  nanny’s health condition (3 nannies have a TB infection)

Okay first, I don’t think there is very much Nadya can do about the risk of abduction or the chaos. It is the media and everyone wanting a shot at the babies, her kids, her, etc. Is that her fault? No, maybe her fault she had 8 babies but other than that no. She even moved to a bigger house with a fenced in yard for more protection, only problem is the press won’t stay away. We all saw the footage of the first babies arrival, the crowd was crazy, even jumping on the truck bringing her and the babies home.

One of the nurses commented on how tiny the babies are and how they could easily slip one into their pocket and leave. Okay, maybe, just maybe Nadya did the right thing by kicking them out. They were already thinking of ways to kidnap the infants. Nadya, when told about the Angels thoughts with the babies being kidnapped wanted to call the police to get a restraining order against the ladies. Honestly, I would’ve too.  The next day the same lady stopped before leaving for the morning and showed Nadya how easy it would be to fit one of her babies in the nurses purse. She immediately called and terminated their services. Who wouldn’t?

On the Dr.Phil show the Angels have just stated that Nadya doesn’t care for her children at all. Instead she forgets to feed them unless someone tells her too or the cameras are nearby and one of the children mention they are hungry. Another comment was she shops constantly and locks herself in her room to read and respond to over 200 emails.

Nadya made this statement:

“The primary issue was that myself [sic] and my nannies felt extremely uncomfortable. I personally felt like a stranger in my own home. The goal was to empower me as a mother, help me, train me. I’m open to that, I want that, I want to do the very best for these … premature babies. I wanted them [AIW USA] to use their training and knowledge to help guide me. I felt that was never accomplished. I felt as though every time I tried to hold the babies, feed the babies, they would be observing and they were waiting for me to make a mistake.”

Kaiser Hospital has stated that they are still releasing the babies in Nadya’s care, even though she fired the Angels in Waiting. So, if they are allowing it they obviously have no fear.

I’ll be updating later with more info, but wanted you to read this first.

Octomom, Nadya Suleman is refusing to let anyone know who the father of her 14 children really is. Why should anyone besides her

Image: INF

and her children know? Taxpayers believe that if she is using state money he should come forward and begin to pay child support. Course at this point in life, maybe she will no longer need support from the state. All it will take for her is an interview and she’ll be able to provide for her children for the rest of the year.

Believe it or not I’m slowly beginning to have a bit of likeness towards this lady. I know ya’ll will probably be shocked but listen to a few of her diaries she has on www.radaronline.com and tell me what you think. Heck, watch the video of her bringing home her first two videos. This woman was swarmed by the paparazzi and I’m not meaning one or two people. There were camera guys hoping on her truck and hanging on just to get a picture of her with the babies. She was smart though and had them all covered up, so not a single one got a shot. This didn’t stop those crazy camera people though, they continued and even tried to break down her garage door.

Well it was recently asked again, just who her children’s donor was. Her answer to the public:

“As far as I’m concerned, I’ll never disclose who he is,” she says in her online video diary. “I’m sorry for all this mess, and I hope he isn’t scared it’ll come out because it won’t,” she assures him. Her reason for choosing him? Suleman says she thought he would “make a good father,” although he is, apparently, not involved in their everyday life. She adds that he “was mad at the doctor who implanted all those embryos, “just like everyone else.”

What do you think? Are you beginning to like her a bit or still hate her? Should she reveal who the daddy is or let him be? I’m guessing he is married, especially since she won’t comment towards that.
