The NBC Today Show had Julia Grovenburg on this week with her husband and she is pregnant with two babies - that are not twins.  That is described as a "a rare superfetation pregnancy" by Jess Snow and he notes in a report that some medical officials believe they "conceived their second baby, son Hudson, a full two-and-a-half weeks after their first conceived, daughter Jillian."

Snow has more here on the happy news for the couple.  Another stunning pregnancy, this one is "Top Chef" host Padma Lakshmi and she has revealed she is expecting her first child after suffering from endometriosis.

Lakshmi, 39, has not revealed the father of the baby but reports have said it could be Manu Nathan. However, her rep denies the claim. Her rep said to Usmagazine.com: "Model, author and Emmy-nominated Padma Lakshmi confirms that she is carrying her first child after years of struggling with endometriosis, a cause for which she has co-founded the Endometriosis Foundation of America.

"As a result of her condition, this pregnancy has been referred to by her physician as nothing short of a medical miracle. Due to its delicate nature, we ask/implore the press to respect Ms Laksmi's privacy at this time."

Lakshmi split from her novelist husband Salman Rushdie in 2007 after three years of marriage.
