It came with all kinds of mini baby toys.<br /><br />I got a separate outfit set with extra options for Midge and the baby. I really liked Midge.

Midge definitely has three kids. There was another release of her with a dark haired baby and toddler-size Nikki in a shopping cart. While the back of the box mentions Ryan, he's not included. The back of the box also notes she has "three little pranksters".

When I was a little girl, I remember hearing in the news something about a polemic pregnant doll, but never managed to see them in my country (Spain). I was very shocked to see that Midge's "belly" was attached with magnets, I thought I had seen on the news that her belly opened like a "treasure chest".
