Nine Babies

Seven babies expected - what bliss
Two more hiding, how did the scans miss.
Nine babies born to Hamila Cisse

It’s an enormous surprise indeed
Now there are nine tiny babes to feed
nine nappy changes are guaranteed!

These nine babes will need specialized care
Nonuplets are exceedingly rare
Will their parents employ an au pair!

I heard about the story and was amazed that even with today's technology they weren't able to see all 9 babies, I can imagine the dad passing out when they kept on bringing out more babies!:-) hugs jan xx

Having 7 babies would be a challenge but to find 2 more 'hiding' when she was having the caesarean must have been such a shock!:-) hugs jan xx
