In one of the most unusual pregnancy stories in PopFi’s long history of covering weird maternity happenings, Julia Grovenburg stands alone.  After all, she’s one of the few people in the world with superfetation, which means she was pregnant, and then get pregnant with a second child.  Two fetuses, one womb, two different conception times.  For Julia, her daughter Jillian will be born in 2009 while her son, Hudson, is due in 2010.

Of course, odds are both children will come out at the same time.  Fortunately for Julia, her son was conceived only about 2 and a half weeks after her daughter, so both children should be healthy even if one is delivered a little early.  After birth, the babies will be tested to determine if this is a true case of superfetation or just some sort of weird twin situation.

What are the odds of someone who is pregnant getting pregnant a second time?  It’s apparently much more common in animals than it is in humans, but it can happen in humans who have gotten fertility treatments.  No word on if Julia was taking fertility drugs when she got pregnant, or if this is just a fluke.

In 2006, an injury to Dallas Cowboys starting quarterback Drew Bledsoe opened the door for an undrafted free agent by the name of Tony Romo to take the helm of America’s Team and lead the Dallas Cowboys to an early playoff exit.  Bledsoe went from starter to afterthought in a season.  Now, the circle continues […]

For 89 years, Oscars has never had a major mistake.  The last few Oscars might have had a few flubs, but at least they never got the most important category of the night wrong.  Well, that’s now changed, all thanks to OG Bonnie and Clyde legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.  When Faye Dunaway called […]

Tom Brady has been wildly successful, if controversial.  He’s the first quarterback ever to win five Super Bowls and only the second player to do so after Charles Haley.  Unlike Haley, Brady won all his Super Bowls with the same team, the New England Patriots.  The only thing that seems to be able to stop […]

Ben Affleck, no matter what you might think of him, is a talented actor and director.  He’s got the goods, but he’s smart enough to know when he’s in over his head.  All along, since he took on the mantle of Batman, he’s had his eyes on writing, directing, and starring as the Caped Crusader. […]

In May, students for the for-profit American College of Education were running into some problems.  Their access to email accounts and course information was locked down by Google, who had disabled their accounts.  The reason why?  A fired IT worker for the American College of Education locked the school out of their Google cloud account.
