The Chukwu octuplets (born in December 1998 in Houston, Texas) were the first set of live octuplets born in the United States. The smallest of the octuplets, Odera, died a week after birth. Now 10 years old and have a 6 year old sister named Divine Favor.
The Chukwu Octuplets (born in December 1998 in Houston, Texas) to mom Nkem Chukwu and dad Iyke Louis were the first set of octuplets born in the United States. The smallest of the octuplets, Odera, died a week after birth.
The first of the octuplets, Ebuka, was born on December 8, 15 weeks premature. The remainder were born by Caesarean section on December 20, 13 weeks premature. The smallest of the octuplets, Odera, died on December 27, a week after birth.
Within a month of being born, all remaining 7 babies were breathing independently without any support from oxygen. A few years ago The Houston Chronicle did an update on the family and reported that the 7 babies were thriving and growing like normal children.
In 2002, Nkem Chukwu delivered a daughter named Divine Favour, this time without the help of medication. She is called "Favour" as Chukwu believed that God did her a favor by giving her back the daughter she lost after the octuplets' birth. Favour is usually seen in public dressed like her siblings forming an 8-member octuplet brood.
HEY KIDS! MILLIE THE GLOBAL OCTUPUS IS READY TO CHAT. CHATS ANNOUNCED A DAY BEFORE.
Many of your kids want to share hobbies and more with the Octuplets who are now 10 years old. Bring them with you to the chatroom on Saturday mornings.
OCTUPLET CHATROOM FOR MOMS, DADS AND KIDS. (ABSOLUTELY NO PROFANITY PLEASE! ZERO TOLERANCE.)
After managing to avoid reporters as she left the hospital Thursday morning, Nadya Suleman headed for her first interview, with Ann Curry of NBC's "Today" show. One of the octuplets mother's hastily hired publicists said she is staying at "an undisclosed location" while she considers offers including possible book and TV deals.
NBC News spokeswoman Megan Kopf said Suleman was not paid for the interview. An air-date announcement was expected later Thursday.
Not even a photo of Suleman has emerged and public records shed little light on her. The 33-year-old single mother, who now has 14 children under the age of 8, has used different names over the years and has been married and divorced once. She stated in the interview...
"I just longed for certain connections and attachments with another person that I really lacked, I believe, growing up," she says.
Asked what she felt she lacked, she says, "Feeling of self and identity. I didn't feel as though, when I was a child, I had much control of my environment. I felt powerless. And that gave me a sense of predictability. Reflecting back on my childhood, I know it wasn't functional. It was pretty, pretty dysfunctional, and whose isn't?"
Congrats to the Octuplets mom. You get to see them on the interview in it's entirety on Monday 9th February 2009 on the TODAY show plus her kids speak on Dateline on Tuesday 10th February 2009
