Ah, it seems like only yesterday that those eight tiny little babies were born and they’re already toddlers. Time just flies, doesn’t it? Easy for me to say since I’m getting a full night of sleep and only have one child to look after. Suleman told People magazine that she’s only getting two or three hours of sleep a night and that’s with the help of three nannies!

Part of me says, “Hey, she brought this all on herself!” But the other part of me — the part who remembers what it’s like to be a sleep-deprived ball of stress — really feels for her. And I have to give her props. She also told People that she makes it a point to go to the gym regularly and that her body has “bounced back” from her pregnancy. I respect that she’s taking care of herself so she can take care of her 14 children and find it amazing that she’s back to normal just a year after carrying 24 pounds of baby alone.

So, now that the shock has worn off, have people’s opinions of the Octomom changed? How do you feel about how she’s managed the first year?
