<p>Remember Nadya Suleman, the woman who became known as &#8220;Octomom&#8221; after becoming <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/photo-woman-gives-birth-on-plane-mid-flight-without-even-knowing-she-was-pregnant-mistook-contractions-for-stomach-ache/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">pregnant</a> with eight children at once through in vitro fertilization (IVF)? Well, her octuplets—Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Nariyah, Josiah, Jonah, and Makai—just turned 14!</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">The Family Celebrated Over Doughnuts, Go-Karting, &; Pizza</h3>
<p>Nadya, who also goes by Natalie, uploaded a photo on social media to commemorate her kids&#8217; 14th birthday. The octuplets are all together on a sofa, with each child proudly holding a doughnut.</p>
<p>After wishing each of them a happy birthday, Nadya referred to the children as &#8220;some of the most loving, thoughtful, conscientious, and humble human beings.&#8221; She also warmly noted that she&#8217;s &#8220;blessed beyond measure to be [their] mother.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Happy 14th birthday to Noah, Maliyah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Nariyah, Josiah, Jonah and Makai! You are some of the most loving, thoughtful, conscientious, and humble human beings I have ever known. The struggles we&#8217;ve endured over the years, have strengthened our connections to one another. By facing new challenges in the years to come, I hope we will continue to grow as a family. I am blessed beyond measure to be your mother. I love you.&#8221;</p></blockquote>

<p>Additionally, the <em><a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-11676613/Octomoms-8-kids-turn-14-Exclusive-look-Nadya-Sulemans-party.html?ito=social-twitter_mailonline" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a> </em>reports that the children celebrated the occasion with a fun day of go-kart racing in Orange County, California. According to the outlet, they specifically hit up an establishment called K1 Speed, and they went out for pizza afterwards.</p>
<p>We should also note that—in addition to the octuplets—Nadya has six older children (four sons and two daughters), with her oldest reportedly being born in 2001. However, the mother of 14&#8217;s other kids weren&#8217;t shown in any of the pictures of the birthday festivities.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: center;">It Was Quite A Journey Over The Past 14 Years</h3>
<p>Nadya rose to prominence after giving birth to her octuplets in 2009, earning her the nickname &#8220;Octomom.&#8221; She delivered the children in a Los Angeles County hospital, and <a href="https://www.cbsnews.com/news/california-probing-octuplets-case/" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><em>CBS News</em></a> reports that the state of California ultimately opened a probe into the case, as she admitted to having a doctor implant eight embryos into her womb.</p>
<p>In the years that followed, Nadya faced a couple of different ups and downs, and she even starred in a well-known adult film. In 2014, she was hit with welfare fraud charges, though she avoided serious time by repaying about $26,000, <em><a href="https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2014/07/14/octomom-pleads-no-contest/12639081/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">USA Today</a> </em>reports.</p>
<p>However, it looks like things are going well for Nadya and her children.</p>
<p>Shoutout to the Suleman octuplets, and we wish them well as they continue to grow up!</p>
