Nadya Suleman Reveals The Milestone
In the early hours of Monday, September 23, Suleman took to Instagram to share a snapshot with her more than 251,000 followers. The photo featured a pink blanket and a baby’s tiny foot. Additionally, Suleman captioned the post with, “Thank you my son and my lovely daughter in law for giving us this beautiful gift!”
“We are so blessed that she is a new addition to our family!” Suleman added before revealing the birthdate of her first granddaughter. “Baby girl you are so very loved and we can’t wait to watch you grow!! 8/30/24 🙏🏽❤️”
At this time, it remains unclear which of her sons Suleman was referring to in her caption. According to PEOPLE, the 49-year-old was a mom of six children — four boys and two girls — before she became the first mother to welcome octuplets. Per the outlet, Suleman’s octuplets consist of six boys and two girls.
Social Media Reacts
Meanwhile, social media has reacted to Octomom’s announcement about her growing family in her comment section.
The “Octomom” Previously Opened Up About Being Pregnant With Eight Children
As The Shade Room previously reported, in June 2023, Suleman reflected on her viral pregnancy with a carousel post shared via Instagram. Additionally, the post featured flicks of Suleman working out in the gym. Meanwhile, her caption expanded on the various injuries she sustained due to “birthing octuplets” and how being active has assisted her tremendously in healing.
“As a repercussion of the pregnancy, I sustained three more herniated discs (had one herniated disc from a work related injury decades ago); bilateral sciatica; damaged sacrum and peripheral neuropathy (and a torn abdominal cavity to top it off 💁🏻♀️),” she wrote at the time. “Such disabilities would render me incapacitated if I were to lead a sedentary lifestyle. Though it seems counterintuitive, the more active I am, the less pain I experience.”
Ultimately, Suleman concluded her message by sharing advice for other parents.
“Do not feel guilty for taking time to renew and recharge,” she wrote. “Your family will benefit immensely when you take care of your mind and body, as you will have more positive energy to give. I would not have the mental or physical wherewithal to do what I do if it were not for working out!”
