(CNN)There's a baby boom in an Arizona hospital and it's not coming from the maternity ward.

Sixteen nurses who work in the intensive care unit of the Banner Desert Medical Center in Mesa are pregnant.

"I know a couple of us did fertility treatments," nurse Paige Packard said at a news conference Friday.

"That's how I ended up finding out that everyone was pregnant. I was like, 'Oh, well, I didn't plan this. Did we have some kind of pact going I didn't know about?'" Packard said.

...hmm...maybe there's a lot of spare time in between rounds at this hospital ... and a baby daddy or two is walking the halls.

I don't think it's the water.

Full disclosure:  My son was born in that hospital, and I have an alibi....

Call HR...  Sounds like it might be a personnel issue.
