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!
