Then, just a few months later, she found out she was pregnant with twins again. Kaylen and Kaleb were born December 27th, making 2019 one very memorable year for the Wolliston family.<\/p>\n<p>The odds of having twins twice in one year are lower than Wolliston&#8217;s odds of winning the lottery, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2020\/01\/07\/us\/two-sets-of-twins-trnd\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to CNN<\/a>. But that&#8217;s how it feels for Wolliston. \u201cOh, yes, I feel like I hit the twin lottery,\u201d she told WPTV. And there&#8217;s also a bittersweet family history there: Wolliston recently discovered that both of her grandmothers had twin boys, and all four of them passed away during childbirth. Now, she feels like her boys are blessings from them.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI always say that I feel like my grandmothers gave me their kids because two sets of twins and their twins passed away?

Earlier this week, another mom made headlines after her twins were born on different days.
