A couple in Texas welcomed three baby girls this month\u2014 identical triplets\u2014 a one in a million occurrence.<\/p>\n

Catalina, Ximena, and Scarlett were born at 34 weeks gestation via C-section. The babies\u00a0are doing well, although Scarlett and Ximena are conjoined at the pelvis \u2013 a one in 50 million occurrence. \u00a0Their parents, Silvia Hernandez and Raul Torres, also have a two-year-old son.<\/p>\n

The parents\u00a0were expecting twins, and\u00a0were\u00a0shocked to learn in April that they were actually having triplets.<\/p>\n

Torres told Kiii TV News<\/a>, \u201cWe\u2019re going to love them no matter how they look and how they come out.\u201d<\/p>\n

The girls were each born weighing 4 pounds, 11 ounces. Their father called the\u00a0triplets\u00a0a gift from God, saying\u00a0God chose him and his wife to be their parents for a reason. The parents vow to\u00a0take care of this \u201cbig blessing.”<\/p>\n

While Scarlett had difficulty\u00a0breathing and was placed on oxygen, she has improved. Scarlett and Ximena will need to do a bit of growing before they can be separated, which doctors hope will happen when the\u00a0girls\u00a0are six\u00a0months old.<\/p>\n

The family set up a Facebook page<\/a> to update friends and relatives on the triplets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
