Two sets of triplets!
Filed under: Your Pregnancy, Holidays, Siblings
The odds of having a set of triplets without the aid of fertility drugs? 1 in 8,000.
The possibility of following it up with a second set? 1 in 64 million. Victoria and Tim Lasita of Cincinnati, Ohio beat the odds to become parents to their second batch of three babies yesterday.
"I guess we should have been more specific and said one more child, not one more set," said Victoria, 39, who delivered the babies at 34 weeks of pregnancy. The three boys, Casey Alexander, Caden Bradley and Carson Charles all appear healthy and weigh over 4lbs each. It's not certain when they'll be allowed home to join their 4 year old siblings, Jessica, Jillian and Brian.
It seems like a bargain to get six kids out of just two pregnancies, but the thought of having to deal that many birthdays on just two dates makes me twitchy.
Congratulations and best wishes to the Lasitas!

Anita said...When I worked as a nurse at a pediatric office in IL 15 years ago, we had a family that had a second set of identical triplets also. The first set where girls and they were 8 years old when the second set (boys) where born. And the odd thing about it was that the boys were from a different father.

Kris said...Don't buy it...sorry nope nope nope. Kind of like my girlfriend and her "natural" triplets...except she fessed up a few years back that they did indeed use Clomid. Not so natural. 1 in 64 million. Not likely.
