Photo of the Day, June 27, 2008
Sorry, Flickr users, today's Photo of the Day comes from a local whose achievement in the field of biological, if not photographic, excellence dusts all y'all suckers.
This is an ultrasound image belonging to friend of mine. It is not a joke; it is not a fake, and yes, of course I obtained her permission to post it here with the quite understandable proviso that I remove her name from it. Those of you who have seen these things before will note that she's carrying triplets, but that's not the crazy part. No, the real action here is that she's split the three-baby load among her two uteruses.
What does this double-barred friend of mine do for a living? She's a physician. But not a fertility specialist, despite her unique and improbable qualifications.
Our fond congratulations to the lovely Name Redacted, M.D. for partaking of the miracle of creation in triplicate.
Happy Friday!

No, seriously, that is beyond triple cool. Congratulations to her, and someone give that woman a foot rub, stat.

So your friend's superpower is having two uteri? Better than being able to talk to fish I guess.

So how does the plumbing work, exactly? Does she have two cervices?

After that bit of wonderful biology, you couldn't resist inserting the inane "miracle" qualifier, could'ya?

Are you kidding? Seriously the pics have been getting WEAK! That's not even in the pool! This one was way better and WAY more dramatic!

Well, if anybody down here was gonna get superpowers, this is the lady you would want. Dr. Redacted is kind, selfless, and incorruptible.
Questions about how it all works are so, so not my area.
Flapjack -- my girlfriend said exactly the same thing.

If I was pregnant with three children, I'd keep one, trade the second for cash, and the third for a sports car. Then, my life would be complete.

I bet she's real fun hanging out with at bars. "Hey handsome. Ditch the witch and come buy me a drink. I have two uteri!" Guys find that stuff irresistable, just like ant farms. Tell a guy you've got an ant farm in your apartment and he's up there like he's got a roman candle in his pants. No lie, G.I.

Your friend may be incorruptible, but she is definitely not impregnable. Get it? Oh, how I crack myself up.

I'm interested to see how these siblings grow up with one another.
Will Kid 1 and 2 ostracize Kid 3 for coming from a different uterus? Sounds like a movie: My Brother from Another Uterus.

Am I the only one wondering whether or not her husband has more than one unit as well? I see Oprah all over this story.

Does she have two cervices?
What does citrus-marinated seafood salad have to do with anything? It's her business if she likes Spanish food! Leave Doc Redacted alone!

Unit?
You romantic.

Don't tell Peter Nickles about this. He'll eat them. His nickname in law school was "Cronus" and it wasn't because he minored in Agriculture.

did she know about the existance of the two uteri before getting pregnant? that's got to be quite a shock.
can she lend one to a friend of mine? she and her husband have been trying to get pregnant for years, with no luck. she's running her last course of IVF soon, and has been through many unsuccessful prior.

Ok, someone must explain. 2 uteri = 2 vagini? Double the menstration? Super power indeed! Super breeder tell us more.
