Woman gets pregnant--while pregnant.

I found this story on MSNBC News.
Todd and Julia Grovenburg found out they were having a baby girl. After having an ultrasound, they found out they are now having two babies. The ultrasound revealed there was a male fetus, which was conceived 2 1/2 weeks after the first conception. The roport says this is a rare condition cause Superfetation, but is possible. Due dates are, end of 2009 and early 2010.

My first thought about this story was, is this possible? I continued to read and was very surprised to find out it was possible, and is happening now.

This is an amazing story. I have never heard of this, nor did i ever think it was possible. Guess it makes you think twice to think that you can't get pregnant if your already pregnant lol. I'm still not sure how the due dates will work so close together. When she does go into labor, won't the second baby boy come along with the first baby girl? I guess worst case scenario, the second baby will be born a couple weeks early. Unless both come earlier than the first due date, due to complications. Then the second baby could be born way to early. I would imagine a situation like this would cause a very rough pregnancy on its own. Never know, she may have a perfect pregnancy and the babies born perfect. I still couldn't imagine having two due dates for one pregnancy. This is outrageous. Such a miracle for something like this to happen. "Here's how it happens--egg and sperm, implant. Of course, that's your first pregnancy. But if you ovulate more than one time a month--and women do--and a sperm happens to meet that egg and they, too implant, guess what, you get a second fetus," says Snyderman, "You just have to hope it happens within that early window."

This couple is very lucky to have something so rare and special happen to them. It is amazing to be blessed with one baby, let alone two. And to have separate due dates for the same pregnancy is so neat as well. What a neat story to share with those kids when they get older. God bless this couple with their pregnancy, and we pray that they have their babies safely, and that the pregnancy goes well for Julia. Congratulations to both of them!
