The Last Of The Litter Is Going Home

The last of Octuplet mom Nadya Suleman’s litter is about to come home from the hospital, which of course was brought to us “only on People.com.”

And while at some point folks are going to stop caring about “Octo-mom” exclusives, we have sadly not yet arrived at that day.

It’s like a sixteenth minute of fame or something.

Hence, from People:

Baby Jonah is doing very well. In fact, he’s thriving. He’s getting stronger with each passing day,” Mandhir Gupta, a neonatologist at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center, tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Contrary to media reports that the baby is fighting for his life, Jonah has grown to 4 lbs., 6 oz. since his birth Jan. 26 with seven other babies, who have since gone home to their mother, Nadya Suleman. Still, “He needs time to continue to grow so it will still be a few weeks, but the staff is pleased with Jonah’s consistent progress,” Gupta says.

In case you missed it, this story was only on People.

Did we mention that? People, people.

And while we’re totally down with the Dr. Gupta “thing,” is it just us or does “Kaiser Permanente Bellflower” sound like a strange name for a hospital? Not to mention the last thing you want to have to repeat over and over again when you’re trying to get there in a hurry.

We can hear it now …

“Step on it! … We’ve got to get to Kaiser Permanante Bellflower, ASAP! … She’s got eight babies in there! …  What? … You didn’t hear me? I said KAISER PERMANENTE BELLFLOWER! No, not KAISER SOZE, you imbecile, KAISER PERMANANTE BELLFLOWER!!!!”

Or wait … perhaps that name is easily understandable to cabbies.

Ahhh … it’s a lot clearer to us now.
