Octo Mom Nadya Suleman brought her seventh baby, Josiah Angel, home today, a rep at the Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center confirms to Usmagazine.com in a statement.

The 4 pound, 8 ounce baby is "bottle feeding, gaining weight and able to maintain his body temperature," the hospital says.

Although Josiahs release went off relatively without incident, the day got off to a hectic start, beginning with a panicked 911 call. Sources say that around 3 in the morning, Octomoms house got vandalized by some uninvited April Fools pranksters.

In a statement issued on Wednesday evening, a spokesman for the La Habra Police Department verified that police units were dispatched to the Suleman home on Madonna Lane shortly after 7 A.M. Wednesday.

A nanny heard a loud noise around 3 A.M. She looked outside and saw a large white cargo van speeding away. The nannies did not call the police or go outside at that time, according to Lt. Tom Dutton of L.H.P.D.s Media Relations office.

When the morning nannies arrived for work at 6:30 A.M. they saw the rear window of [the] Suleman van had been smashed and a car seat appeared to have been thrown through the window, Dutton said.

The car seat apparently was from another one of the Sulemans vehicles and had been positioned outside on the porch next to the front door. The police report listed the damage to the van as a shattered window, a broken rear window wiper arm and a dent to the rear cargo door.

No suspects were reported and no other witnesses could be located.

"Every day that passes is a milestone in the lives and care of the octuplets," Dr. Mandhir Gupta says. "Being able to send another baby home is a significant step in their development."

Jonah -- the last octuplet at the hospital -- "continues to progress well and remains at Kaiser Permanente Bellflower Medical Center. He continues gaining weight and remains on formula and donated pasteurized breast milk."

Suleman, 33, brought home her first two babies, Noah and Isaiah on March 17. On March 21, she welcomed home Maliyah and Nariyah. Makai and Jeremiah were released on March 26.

The family lives in a new $564,900, four-bedroom home in La Habra, Calif.

    IMO this woman should have been spayed a long time ago. NONE of her offspring were inseminated by having a relationship with a human...it was all done by turkey baster at taxpayers' expense. My twingrandkids were conceived by invitro at a huge expense that my son & daugter in law paid, the NICU unit was again, very very costly & the insurance did not cover all of it. How d

    who is paying for the nannies? for that matter the 600,000 house? I thought she didn't have a job. But thats nothing new. People on welfare, food stamps and every other government program are better off than people who work for a living. Those kids should be taken away from her, she is using them as a money maker. Heard there was talk of a reality show for her. Give me a break!!!!

    This is a joke. I don't know if she is looking for money, attention or what but raising 14 children alone is ridiculous. And you are right! She is having expensive procedures done to have child after child, now we are going to pay for her children. She does not have the money to support what she is doing, she is receiving hand outs, and we are paying for it.

    I think what she is doing is so so so wrong. She can't afford to take care of her own kids. She wants everything to be handed to her. I am not excited about having to pay taxes to support her. And I agree that the doctor who did the procedure should have his license taken away plus he should have to pay for those kids, not us taxpayers.

    This woman is clearly looking for attention. These children are not being taken care of as they should and it's criminal to allow them to go home with her. Absolutely criminal. Big families are okay, as long as the parents can take care of their children. Like the Duggars, for instance. They're financially and mentally stable. She clearly is not. It's wrong.

    This loon's making the taxpayer pay for this 'science' experiment by both her & her Dr.(the kids are innocent).She's 33 & should've known that it isn't rational to raise 14 alone or at all. She may have thought the media & 'charity' were going to give her $ instead. Obtuse loser!!

    Maybe not for attention but for money. She didn't have the $ to support the other kids yet she got pregnant again. Im allowed to be mad, as a taxpayer.
