First Test Tube Baby Has Baby of Her Own
The world's first test tube baby – 28-year-old Louise Brown of England – gave birth to her first child on Dec. 20, PEOPLE has confirmed. Cameron John Mullinder weighed 5 lbs., 6 oz. when he was born at 12:23 p.m. at St. Michael's Hospital in Bristol, England.
"They say I was a miracle, but for me, so is Cameron," Brown told PEOPLE of her son, who was conceived naturally.
Brown was conceived by what was then groundbreaking in-vitro fertilization, now a common procedure. She was born July 25, 1978, to great fanfare. Three years ago she married Wesley Mullinder, a 37-year-old security guard. The couple's baby was conceived naturally.
Brown isn't the first test tube baby to give birth herself – her younger sister Natalie claimed that distinction on May 13, 1999, with the birth of daughter Casey.
Brown says she chose the name Cameron after "a little boy I looked after when I was a nursery nurse 10 years ago. He wouldn't be looked after by anyone else but me."

Re: First Test Tube Baby Has Baby of Her Own
Ok, why am I confused here  It says she is the first test tube baby to have a baby of her own, but then it also says this:
"Brown isn't the first test tube baby to give birth herself – her younger sister Natalie claimed that distinction on May 13, 1999, with the birth of daughter Casey. "
I don't get it? Am I having a blonde moment?

Yes, definitely a blonde moment.  They aren't saying she's the first test tube baby to have a baby, they're saying she WAS the first test tube baby AND had a baby. Hope that cleared it up!
