The Morrison’s Talk About Losing Their 5 Babies For The First Time

---

For the first time since delivering her sextuplets, Brianna Morrison has spoken about the sadness of losing 5 babies and their delight in having Sylas home.

Ryan and Brianna Morrison welcomed 6 babies on June 10th at just 22 weeks gestation. At birth, the sextuplets ranged in size from 11 ounces and 1 pound, 3 ounces. Sadly one by the babies started to pass away until there was only one left – Sylas.

He is home now and the family conducted their homecoming interview with Minnesota television station WCCO.

Brianna talked about each baby and their personality saying that Lucia was the first born, her name meant light. She had the most sparkly eyes that would just capture you when you looked at her.

Bennett was a mamma’s boy.

Tryg was their all American boy. The nurse gave him a red, white and blue stocking cap. He passed away on Flag Day. Captain America they called him.

Lincoln was playfully renamed ‘linky wink’, she always thought he would be a poet, contemplate the things of God, and really know the heart of God.

Cadence was known as the sparkly baby. Every time the had an ultrasound, Cadence was just dancing, all the time. Her name means melody. And her middle name means beautiful. So beautiful melody. She was the smallest baby.

Brianna then tuns her attention to Sylas. He is cooing loudly and she calls him her man of many words. They hold him a lot and wonder if they’re spoiling him, but decide it’s okay because he’s been through a lot.

She says that this is not the way they wanted it to be, but that this is what god wanted and they trust him because he is good. She also believes that they were given Sylas because they needed him. Without him she doesn’t know how she would be able to get out of bed in the morning.

Kid Sized Robot Developed For Special Needs Kids

---

Parents of special needs kids know that finding creative ways for their children get around is challenging. Most parents usually find that they are limited to regular or motorized wheelchairs.

Researchers at the University of Delaware are providing safe mobility to children with special needs who are unable to fully explore the world on their own through the development of kid-sized robots that infants can drive using joysticks.

The work is important because much of infant development, both of the brain and behavior, emerges from the thousands of experiences each day that arise as babies independently move and explore their world.

The robot, UD1, is designed with smart technology to address safety issues so infants can be a part of the real world environment, and in this way uses technology to meet human need.

While it looks like something that my dad could of made in the garage, I am very excited that this robot could be responsible for children seeing the world the same way that other kids do.

One of The Baker Quintuplets Passes Away

---

I am sad to write that one of the quintuplets born to Tim and Lori Baker last month has passed away.

Lori Baker tells 13news, Kailee Jo, the first of the five babies to be born last month, died on Friday.

Kailee Jo was just one month old.

On October 27, Lori Baker gave birth to the five babies at Cabell Huntington hospital. At birth, the three girls and two boys all weighed over two pounds.

Kailee is survived by her mother Lori and father Tim, siblings, Chloe Paige, Hunter Logan, Aiden James and Emma Lynn, as well as, big sister Whitney.

The babies were born at 30 weeks gestation, which is above average for quintuplets.

We hope that the rest of the babies are doing well. More information to come as it becomes available.

Only One Is Mine…

---

A Chinese man is suing for divorce after discovering that he is the father of only one of his twins.

Liu Yuan of Nanjing city says he noticed the difference between the babies the day they were born, reports Longhu Network.

“The baby that came out first was much bigger than the second, who was very weak and sickly,” he said.

The dad says he started to be suspicious when the second baby turned out to have a different blood type, paired with the fact that it doesn’t look like him.

Liu had his own and the two babies’ DNA tested – and discovered that he was the biological father of only the bigger twin.

“My wife admitted that she’d had sex with her former boyfriend after we got married,” he said.

Doctors explain that it’s quite rare, but possible, since a man’s sperm can survive for 72 hours in a woman’s body.

Believe it or not, there are actually statistics for this exact situation so it must happen more than most families are willing to admit. National Georgraphic reports that:

for every 400 sets of fraternal twins, one set is made up of twins who will have different fathers.

5 Week Old Baby Gets Heart Transplant

---

The parents of one of Britain’s youngest heart transplant survivors spoke yesterday of their gratitude to a German family who donated their dead baby’s heart.Andrew McAskie, now 11 months old, had a heart attack at birth and was close to death when a family whose one-year-old baby had died made their offer. The heart was flown from Germany to the Freeman Hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne and, five weeks after he was born, Andrew underwent a transplant.

The Freeman Hospital performed Britain’s first successful baby heart transplant more than 20 years ago on Kaylee Davidson, who was 5 months old. She is now a healthy young woman. Since then nine babies younger than Andrew have had heart transplants in Britain, including one in 1989 who was 5 days old. Of those still alive, Andrew is the second-youngest.

Suri’s Fancy Feet!

---

Ok! Magazine is reporting that Miss Suri Cruise will be the youngest client that Christian Louboutin has ever custom made shoes for.

The fashion house will, for $2,500, create a mold of your foot to hand-craft footwear to your exact specifications and for an additional charge of $500 to $5,000, will also create a pair of shoes for you from that mold.

Katie has apparently had a mold made for her feet and now so has Suri.

Could you imagine spend upwards of $5,000 on a pair of shoes for a child that will only wear them for 2-4 months? Me neither…

Christina Bares Her Bump in Marie Claire

---

Mom to be Christina Aguilera shows off her flawless bump in Marie Claire.

The “Sexy Mama” shoot, featured in the January 2008 issue of Marie Claire, reveals that the baby was an unexpected surprise for the singer and husband Jordan Bratman.

The couple was planning on starting their family after her tour, but discovered she was pregnant when she still had a month left on tour. In order to take extra care of the baby she wore a heart monitor on stage during her performances.

I was paranoid,” she reportedly admitted.

“There are so many things that could go wrong—somebody could slip, somebody could fall, I could fall. There was no way in hell I was going to jeopardize my baby for my show.

“I didn’t want to make the audience uncomfortable, like, ‘Pregnant lady onstage! Is she going to be OK?’ But I had to announce it to my band and my dancers, because I wanted to make sure they had my back.”

Aguilera also reportedly spoke on the fact that her pregnancy was announced to the world by the less-than-discreet Paris Hilton.

“Because I hadn’t said anything, people thought I was trying to keep it this big, bad secret, and that’s not the case at all. I just wasn’t commenting. I’m not being like, ‘Hey, everybody, I’m pregnant!’ I’m not that girl.”

She looks fabulous!! SOURCE
