Sure, everyone thinks their kids are special, but these three tiny newborns in Oregon are truly one (ok, three) in a million!
A pair of high school sweethearts from Newberg, Oregon might have just created some of the rarest children on the planet. On August 1, Amber Hills and boyfriend Logan Brown-Fletcher welcomed three identical triplets, Raelyn (2 pounds, 12 ounces), Avery (3 pounds, 11 ounces) and Elaina (2 pounds, 15 ounces), according to TODAY.

[Providence Health & Services]“I started out a little bit scared and freaked out a little bit,” Logan Brown-Fletcher told TODAY. “But by the time they got here, I was ready. I was very much ready for them to be here.” However, his girlfriend was singing a different tune just one week after delivering via cesarean section. “I was totally calm and collected. It must be the mom hormones or something.”
According to TODAY, the babies’ doctor at Providence St. Vincent Medical Center, Dr. Craig Novack, said the odds for the triplets were at “somewhere around one in a million” and that “The triples are doing remarkably well.”
[Providence Health & Services]Brown-Fletcher said his sister purchased him a lottery ticket hoping to help continue his lucky streak. “I didn’t win, sadly, but I didn’t spend any money on it so I wasn’t too bummed out,” he said.
