Meredith juggles being a single mom and working her award-winning career as a doctor at the center of Greys Anatomy each week.

She doesnt have to do it alone though. Currently she has the help of her half-sister Maggie Pierce and sister-in-law Amelia Shepherd, along with a slew of friends, most notably Alex Karev.

But many fans, especially those that havent been with the show since the beginning, may wonder where her three kids came from.

Since shes not currently married and the show doesnt make mention of Derek as often as it used to, its no surprise some fans dont know much about the backstory of each of Merediths kids.

Heres the low down on each of her kids and when they first appeared on Greys Anatomy.

Each of Merediths three kids come from her relationship with Derek Shepherd, whom she was with since the show premiered, at least on some level, and whom she eventually married (albeit on a post-it-note).

In Season 6s finale, episode 24, Meredith had a miscarriage from all the stress of the events of the episode, losing her first child with Derek. This would lead to struggles in their relationship as they dealt with infertility.

Zola first appeared toward the end of season 7 as a six-month-old orphan who was part of a group of patients traveling from Africa. She was being treated for Spina Bifida.

Derek was her doctor and ended up falling in love with her, then suggesting to Meredith that they adopt her. There were a lot of things that stood in the way of it becoming official, like Meredith putting Dereks Alzheimers trial in jeopardy when she swapped Adele Webers placebo for the trial drug.

Eventually, though, the social worker and court granted the adoption, and Zola officially became a Shepherd in Season 8.

At the end of season 9, Meredith gave birth to their first son. She first kept the pregnancy a secret, fearing shed miscarry again, and only told Derek. She didnt even tell Christina Yang, her best friend.

She shared the news with Derek early in the season by buying a shirt for Zola that said Worlds Best Big Sister. The timing was special because it was just a few months after Mark Sloan, Dereks best friend, died (in the season premiere).

Of course, she didnt miscarry, but that doesnt mean things went smoothly. She gave birth during a superstorm without any power. Bailey ended up in the NICU, and Meredith ended up suffering from a massive hemorrhage.

In stepped Miranda Bailey, who eventually saved Merediths live. Baileys name is officially Derek Bailey Shepherd, and he gets his name from the doctor who helped save his mom.

This pregnancy might have been unplanned, and the audience sure didnt see it coming. Thats because it came on the heels of Dereks death.

He died during one of the final episodes of Season 11, and in the following episode, Meredith took the kids and left home.

It turns out that she was pregnant with Dereks child, a girl that would later be named Ellis, after her mom. She left because she didnt think she could do it all again and didnt want people to tell her how to mourn Dereks death.

In the end, though, Alex was by her side, and she eventually came home with Ellis and the other kids in tow.

Ellis was still born out of love, although sadly, Derek never got to meet her. Meredith still saw Derek in Ellis, though, and Meredith makes sure the kids know who their dad was.

Does saying adios to the ladder frame mean that its the end of the road for an absolute legend? In Gaydon, they are convinced that its not they insist that the off-road ability of their most iconic car remains uncorrupted.

It begins quietly the criticism of the new Defender usually with a compliment. Its beautiful, no doubt. And then comes the kill shot, But its not really a Defender! Its becoming increasingly common to come across such comments on social media, and in automobile forums.

Its been over a month since the official presentation of the most iconic of Land Rovers, and the discussion surrounding it doesnt seem to cease. Gerry McGovern, the design head of the Land Rover, who fought really hard for new design innovation, jumped into this so-called controversy when he said, those who were die-hard fans of the old Defender probably wont buy the new one, revealing an important aspect of the strategic game of this Tata-owned English manufacturer to go fishing in a bigger lake rather than the small (niche) one afforded to it by the original model.

However, despite the larger target audience, there is something that Land Rover cant afford and thats jeopardizing the legendary off-road ability of its most iconic model. Moreover, its also a question of image if word were to spread that their toughest and purest off-roader has now become a fashionable car, suitable only for the urban jungle, it would put an end to the reputation of the entire brand.

But well reserve our judgment regarding its off-road abilities until such time that we get our hands on the new Defender. In the meantime, we can tell you all about the numbers at hand, what its made of, and everything thats underneath its shell. After all, a bit of rationality in the discussion never hurts, does it?

Now, we know that its not easy to completely discount emotion when talking about a model that coincided with the very foundation of the brand. We all know the story. Born from the idea of Maurice Wilks, technical director of Rover, who, in 1947, thought that a vehicle, not unlike Jeep, rugged and economic, could meet the demands of the British rural class exhausted by the war. And the result was a basic vehicle, which was presented at the Amsterdam Motor Show in 1948 and, of course, quickly went on to become a commercial phenomenon.

The reason behind its phenomenal success was simple it could literally take you anywhere and get you out of any difficult situation on any terrain. A combination of its ladder frame chassis, two rigid axles with semi-elliptical leaf springs, a body with aluminium panels, a four-cylinder 1.6-litre engine, producing 50bhp, combined with a four-speed manual gearbox, and all-wheel drive, it was simply called the Series 1 but it had all the foundations of the legend it went on to become after assuming its current name in the 1990s.

Ultra-rigid ShellWith the same name and essentially the same mechanical layout, although partially evolved, the Defender continued its journey until three years ago, when the regulations put a stop to its production, except for a special limited-edition series in 2018 the Defender Works V8 that was launched to celebrate the 70th anniversary of its birth.

However, the name remains today, even though a lot has changed. A new skin, but not without respecting its tradition, and underneath something that, in the eyes of enthusiasts, was completely untouchable the ladder-frame has now been replaced by a monocoque chassis.

The last old-fashioned English off-road vehicle couldnt resist the modern influence and now belongs to a family of vehicles the Discovery and Range Rover (except the Evoque) that share the D7 aluminium monocoque architecture, called D7x x stands for extreme, indicating the demanding and exacting tests that the machine has had to go through.

Well, according to Land Rover, this new platform has a torsional rigidity of 29kNm/degree, which makes it three times more rigid than a traditional ladder-frame chassis.

The new Defender has a maximum suspension articulation of 500mm (in the version with air suspension). However, it would be interesting to know the vehicles Ramp Travel Index or RTI, which is a measure of a vehicles ability to flex its suspension, or to put it simply, the extent to which a vehicle can advance with one wheel on a ramp before the other one breaks off the ground a value that Land Rover hasnt revealed yet.

What Land Rover, however, has revealed is that the Defender 2020 has the same maximum ascent/descent gradient of 45 as the old one. Meanwhile, the maximum side-slope gradient of the new Defender is 45 against the 30 of the older one. The Defender 2020 is 30mm wider (a total of 2,100mm) and a few millimetres lower, which also reduces the vehicles tendency to tip-over.

The repositioning of a few components, including the battery and cooling circuits, made it possible to keep the overhang short for the benefit of the characteristic angles. Here are the claimed numbers for the Defender 38 approach angle, 40 departure angle, and 28 ramp breakover angle (31 in the Defender 90), which are on par with the Jeep Wranglers 44 approach angle, 37 departure angle, and 28 of ramp breakover angle. Whats worth noting here is that the new Defender loses out to the old Defenders 49 approach, 35 departure (47 for the 90), and 30 ramp breakover angle.

Almost autonomousTo compensate for a few small physical limitations of the Defender 2020, the vehicle comes with the state-of-the-art Advanced Driver Assistance System or ADAS, which is a true innovation for an off-road vehicle. It also gets Terrain Response 2, which is the off-road gear management software package developed by Land Rover that now comes with new functions.

A touchscreen sits on the centre of the dashboard, which allows you to select various modes, depending on the surface (gravel, snow, rock, sand, etc.). The touchscreen also offers three settings to adjust throttle and transmission response, steering and traction control, and to manage the locking of the central and rear differentials.

Of course, the Defender 2020 comes with an Auto setting, suitable for novice off-road drivers, which allows the Terrain Response System to recognize the surface of the ground, using cameras and sensors, and automatically choose the most suitable off-road mode, without any input from the driver. In short, it democratises off-road driving.

The Defender also comes with ClearSight Ground View, which offers a clear view of the ground in front of the car on the screen, using front cameras as if the hood is transparent allowing you to see exactly where the wheels are positioned on the ground surface.

A new recordThe new Defender even has a Wade mode it can be selected from the Terrain Response menu which assists the driver in crossing a fjord by locking the differential and increasing the ground clearance, while the Wade sensing shows the depth of water.The maximum depth it can tackle, and rest assured its the last number that well cite, is 900mm, a record in itself, which the Defender shares with the Discovery. To put things in perspective, the Jeep Wrangler has a maximum wading depth of 750mm.

So, in the end, despite all the changes, will the new Defender do the same things the old one did? At Gaydon, they claim, it will do even more. But the kicker is that itll be a lot more civilized on the surface in which itll spend most of its time the tarmac!

The new Defender kicks up the dirt on a muddy track in Kazakhstan. Built on a monocoque for the first time ever, the new Land Rover has been subjected to very intense and exacting off-road tests in various parts of the world, including Moab a paradise for off-roaders in the Utah Desert of the USA.

The spartan rawness of the old Defender is just a memory, kept alive by details such as visible screws and an exposed magnesium crossbeam in the cabin. For the most part though, the cabin, dominated by a 10-inch touch screen, is refined and hi-tech.

ANATOMY OF AN OFF-ROAD VEHICLE

Unlike the path chosen by its high-profile competition the Jeep Wrangler and Mercedes-Benz G-Class the Defender abandons the ladder-frame chassis and adopts a modern self-supporting aluminium body, with independent suspension double-wishbones at the front and a multi-link at the rear, with coil springs in the standard version (air springs are optional). The latter offers greater travel and increases the off-road ride height by 75mm, but the adaptive dynamics system also improves handling on the asphalt, monitoring and analysing the movements of the body 500 times per second. Land Rover claims that the D7x platform offers a very high degree of robustness 6.5 tonnes of breakout load on the anchor points, 7 tonnes of vertical load on the suspension, 300kgs of static maximum load on the roof, and 168kgs of dynamic load. The new Defender is built, in the classic 90 and 110 versions (three and five doors, respectively), on a dedicated line in the Slovak factory in Nitra, where the Discovery is also assembled.

The Defender democratises off-road driving. Terrain Response 2 allows even rookie adventurers to experience real off-road driving. Above, the screens of the ClearSight Ground View (left) and the Wade sensing (right). Whats curious, however, are the choice of wheels the smallest is 255/70R18. But we think that the 255/75R17 could have been better suited to certain off-road conditions.

A look at the anatomy of the new Land Rover Defender - autoX

Greys Anatomy star Caterina Scorsone announced the arrival of her third child with husband Rob Giles on Tuesday, December 31.

Arwen is here! the actress, 38, captioned two Instagram photos that showed the newborn cuddling with each of her big sisters, Eliza, 7, and Paloma, 3. Our family wishes you a happy new year, a happy new decade and a happy heart made new by love in every exquisite moment.

Scorsone, who plays Amelia Shepherd on the ABC medical drama, revealed in November that she was expecting baby No. 3, when she posted a Halloween-themed photo of herself, her musician husband and their two daughters dressed as the Addams Family along with the caption, Our Familys about to get even kookier. #pumpkinintheoven.

Fans of Greys Anatomy saw her character announce her pregnancy in the season 16 premiere episode earlier this year.

In March, Scorsone opened up about her daughter Paloma, who has Down syndrome.

My whole concept of what motherhood was had to shift, she said on the Motherly podcast.

When Paloma, who the family calls Pippa, was born, the Private Practice alum realized she was going to have some physical differences and some cognitive differences I didnt know what her capacity would be. It really did send me into a tailspin.

She questioned how to raise her baby: If my job is not to equip her to compete and dominate socially, or educationally, or physically or economically what is a mother? What is my job?

But after her initial reaction, Scorsone realized her primary responsibility is to keep her safe and make her feel loved.

Suddenly my understanding of my job as a mother completely distilled and opened, she continued, adding that it made her rethink the way she was parenting her eldest child.

I loved Eliza so much because she was so clever, and she was so beautiful and she was so funny but all those things were external qualities, Scorsone said. It forced me to realize that I was loving my other daughter and everyone, including myself, for absolutely the wrong reason. I was loving people for their external qualities and not for their essence.

Greys Anatomy Star Caterina Scorsone Gives Birth to Baby No. 3 With Husband Rob Giles - Us Weekly

The new season will introduction will likely be the last Thursday in September 2020

Season 16 of Grays Anatomy is only starting. However, with all of the movements at Gray Sloan Memorial Hospital most importantly, Meredith Gray was ended in the wake of being caught for insurance distortion we understand what Grays fans are thinking at present: Is this the completion of the show?

Even though her characters future in Seattle is alluding to, Ellen Pompeo has officially energized her understanding through 2020, which means Grays Anatomy is delving in for the long stretch for one more season.

TBD. Given past seasons, the new season will introduction will likely be the last Thursday in September 2020. In case ABC continues with their TGIT lineup, the helpful sensation will be trailed by its sister to show up.

Per Pompeos latest game plan with ABC, the performer is set apart on for the seventeenth season. Valuable thing since ABCs diversion supervisor Kerry Burke explained that Grays Anatomy wouldnt continue without the shows lead on-screen character.

This comes just a single year after Pompeo referenced that she was scanning for a change. Ahead of season 16, the on-screen character uncovered to Entertainment Weekly that shes feeling like were landing toward the completion of the accounts that weve told and what we can tell.

Were hypothesizing that the majority of Grays fans contradict this thought. Given how that season 16 started with an impact (Meredith was ending from the crisis center! Amelia is pregnant!), its a shield to expect that the accompanying season will be comparable as earth-shattering.

As Vernoff puts it, the back and forth movement season is perplexed and stacked with catastrophe, job changes, and noteworthy moves in facility organization. Its hard for me to state who anyone should pull perhaps in help.

I trust its a human, tangled, complicated season, she uncovered to TV Guide. While the focal points are as yet dubious, Pompeo, who happens to be one of the shows producers, promises to continue relating to quality stories.
