All 3 girls weighed 4 pounds, 11 ounces. It is remarkable to give birth to triplets but, it is even remarkable for them to be identical - odds are 1 in 60,000 to 1 in 200 million.

Dr. Haroon Patel, a pediatric surgeon at Driscoll Children's Hospital. Corpus Christi, said “ It would be six months until the two twins would be able to separate.” Catalina, Xiema and Scarlett were born a Saturday at Corpus Christi Medical Center Bay Area.

My made up holiday story

Laying down in my bed I heard something rattling. So I got up and checked everywhere and it was nothing. So I closed my eyes and went back to sleep. While I was sleeping I felt someone shaking me so I woke up and it my little sister. She said to me “ I heard something in the wardrobe” then I said to her “ I know but just close your eyes and go to sleep. So we both went to sleep in my bed.

While I was sleeping I heard my mom shout out “ Where is baby?” So I woke up, looked in my wardrobe and there it was my baby brother playing with his rattle.

So the moral of my story is to check on your kids before you go bed.
