All the things that are indicators of having multiples, we didn&#8217;t check off any of those boxes,&#8221; Theo explained.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My one egg split three ways, so it was just insane,&#8221; Sami added.<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t0Mxb4NKcpA?si=Tm8VO5Xw3IIcm7r6\" width=\"640\" height=\"355\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/center>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The triplets, Gwynevere, Calliope, and Scarlett, were born on October 12, but the girls had to spend some time in the NICU before they could join their parents at home.<\/p>\n<p>Sami&#8217;s doctor, Dr. Michael Gordon, told GMA that the girls are monochorionic diamniotic triplets, which means that two of the babies shared a sac and all three shared one placenta \u2014 a rare situation. &#8220;It&#8217;s really uncommon,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that there were some risks with the pregnancy, Gordon credits Sami and Theo for their positivity through it all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I remember talking to Sami and Theo, the first day, I think it was a Friday \u2014 it took about an hour and a half. We just kept going over risk [after] risk, and that young couple never wavered in their belief,&#8221; he <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/GMA\/Family\/rare-set-newborn-triplets-home-hospital-time-thanksgiving\/story?id=105028258\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>. &#8220;They never wavered in their trust. And it was amazing how good a young couple they are.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Despite being born early at 32 weeks, the girls are all in good health.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They were born with no complications and they are all ahead of schedule from what we anticipated. We were honestly expecting to take them home more like mid-December, so even that got pretty quick,&#8221; Theo explained. &#8220;So, they&#8217;ve just been doing really great every step of the way. And for all their benchmarks, they&#8217;ve been killing it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I know just that these girls are just the biggest blessing, and I can&#8217;t imagine our lives without them,&#8221; Sami said. &#8220;I&#8217;m so thankful and so excited and looking forward to this, and it&#8217;s really helpful to have such a supportive partner and amazing dad to help us.
