Cincinnati – Already the proud parents of triplets, Victoria and Tim Lasita had decided they wanted to have “one more.”
“I guess we should have been more specific and said one more child, not one more set,” said Victoria, 39, who delivered the couple’s second set of triplets Wednesday after 34 weeks of pregnancy.
Tim Lasita is 48. The Lasitas conceived both sets of triplets naturally, without fertility treatments.
“Holy smokes. Do you know what the odds of that are?” said Dr. Glen E. Hofmann, medical director of the Bethesda Center for Reproductive Health and Fertility.
The answer: about one in 8,000 for a woman to have triplets naturally, and about one in 64 million of having two sets, according to Hofmann and Dr. Sherif G. Awadalla, medical director of the Institute for Reproductive Health in Cincinnati.
It’s still unclear when Casey Alexander, Caden Bradley, and Carson Charles will go home to live with Jessica, Jillian and Brian, who will turn 4 in December.
The Lasitas said the new triplets will mean about 300 diaper changes a week and about 168 bottles.
The Lasitas have been married six years and have three grown children from previous marriages.
