      Though we're starting to grow tired and increasingly horrified of the octuplet story, there's one little piece to the puzzle that no one has brought up yet: Nadya Suleman looks SO much like Angelina Jolie! It seems like she might have even had collagen lip injections to look more like the actress. How weird is that?

      We made the connection after we saw a skit on "Saturday Night Live" that spoofed Angelina trying to get her hands on as many kids as possible. Then we heard reports of Angie touring refugee camps in Thailand and considering adopting another child there. After further investigation, we realized even more similarities between the Suleman and Jolie:

      • They were both born in the summer of 1975 in the Los Angeles area
      • They were both first married in 1996
      • They both birthed/adopted their first child in 2002
      • They both have been divorced and are now unmarried
      • Pre-octuplets, they both had six children under the age of 8

      Quite a few coincidences. And if you Read More »from Nadya Suleman = Angelina Jolie?

      photo credit: REUTERS/Paul Drinkwater/NBC/Handout photo credit: REUTERS/Paul Drinkwater/NBC/Handout It's been a busy weekend in octuplet obsession land. We're all still talking about the many questions we all have related to their birth; their mom, Nadya Suleman; and the idea of being addicted to having kids.

      But more news abounds. Here's the latest:

      • Suleman's mom, Angela, spoke with Radaronline.com about how she believes her daughter is simply incapable of taking care of her kids. More disturbing? Check out the photos of the home where the family currently lives-and imagine 8 newborns in the picture.
      • The Medical Board of California has launched an investigation into the fertility doctor who implanted Suleman with six embryos. (He works at West Coast IVF in Beverly Hills, Calif. The site is currently down.) And one big concern is that this same doctor handled the in vitro fertilization for her other pregnancies, which resulted in six births.
      • Suleman was interviewed by Ann Curry of NBC's "Today Show." (Part two of the interview will air on Tuesday.) She showed off her babies,

      Photo Credit: Getty ImagesPhoto Credit: Getty ImagesShortly after Nadya Suleman gave birth to her octuplets, her own mom told anyone who would listen that her daughter was "obsessed with having kids."

      In a Boston Globe article, a psychologist specializing in women's reproductive mental health said "women that have obsessive-compulsive disorder can become fixated on different obsessions."

      Two of those obsessions could be having kids and being a mom. What about an obsession with pregnancy?

      Even though I lost all control over my burgeoning body as the babies grew in my belly, I thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of pregnancy. I love my kids and adore motherhood.

      But like many parents who are responding to my post about the octuplet obsession, I can't even imagine having eight newborns, let alone 14 kids. However, I do know a few moms who loved being pregnant. And they'd love to be pregnant again, just to go through the experience and soak in that newborn smell one. more. time.

      So Shine readers, we want to hear from you. Do you think you

      photo credit: AFP/File/Martin Bureauphoto credit: AFP/File/Martin BureauAs we continue to read news stories about the mother who gave birth to octuplets last week, many of us have even more questions that begin with "who," "what," "where," "when" and "why" and "how."

      All of the questions are tinged with opinion and they usually go like this:

      • Who is going to help take care of these babies? (And how are the other children doing?) Also, who foot the bill for her in vitro fertilization (IVF)?
      • What kind of doctor would implant a single mom -- with six kids under the age of seven -- with multiple embryos? (And who are we to even think anyone has the right to tell a woman how many babies she can have?)
      • Where were the early signs that the mom had some sort of obsession with having babies? (And shouldn't someone, oh, a doctor maybe, have noticed?)
      • Why would a single woman with six very young children, all living in Grandma's three-bedroom home (Grandma filed for bankruptcy last year), want more kids? (Again, who are we

    • Mom of octuplets plans to breastfeed her babies

      Multiply by two.Multiply by two.By now you've probably read all about the woman who gave birth to octuplets. More good news was reported this morning when doctors said all eight of the babies were breathing on their own. The babies were born nine weeks prematurely and will be in the hospital for several more weeks.

      Here's the little tidbit of info that amazes me: Doctors say the mom plans to breastfeed all eight babies.

      Can you imagine the feeding schedule? Any nursing mama can tell you that a newborn wants to eat often, but the official word from La Leche League is that a baby will average 8-12 feedings over 24 hours. Most newborns drink about 25 ounces of breast milk a day. Multiply that times eight babies and you've got one exhausted new mom whose body is producing a lot of breast milk. Will she ever be able to leave the house?

      It wore me out to breastfeed one baby for a year. The thought of nursing eight newborns would have scared me to pieces. So for however long she manages to breastfeed, she's to be
