Doctors who work in Houston’s busiest maternity ward say they’re expecting an especially bustling June, leading some to conclude that Hurricane Ike was the perfect storm for making babies.

Oh, HURRICANE Ike. I thought they were saying President Eisenhower was very very busy in the 50s....

Half Obama baby and half Ike. What a presidental heritage for my little fetus.

Ike did get us here in Missouri. There was severe flash floods. My neighborhood was nearly an island and a friend's basement was flooded. Yeah, it was way sexy around here.

All I know is that the clinic where I'm doing my OB rotation is expecting about 15 deliveries in the next week. That's huge for the area.
