In Philadelphia, a newly wed couple; Allison and Wes Rhoa, who dreamed together of having a beautiful family during their honeymoon, had no idea their dream will come true just eights months later.
They are now parents to identical triplets that were conceived during the honeymoon. The triplet; Ava, Avery, Alissa were welcomed into the world by cesearean section at Abingdon Memorial hospital, earlier this month.
'She got pregnant when we were in Mexico on our honeymoon,' Wes told CBS Philadelphia. The couple who are one in a million to conceive identical triplets without the aid of fertility aid are elated but also in shock at their newly-expanded family. Allison said;
'I still can’t believe it that it happened. So it was definitely something we weren’t expecting, but we couldn't be happier now that they’re here.'
Although the babies were born premature, at about 33 weeks, each of them weighed about four pounds and could breath for themselves (usual in premature babies).
Understanding there is a lot of work to be done, the couple who are still in the hospital because the children can't feed on their own yet, expect to take them home within two or three weeks. 'As soon as you’re done feeding all three and the other ones are rested you've got to start all over again. So it’s non-stop,' Wes said. The middle names; Grace, Faith and Hope were chosen by the couple for the little sisters.
