No one said it would be easy telling them apart.
They are now 9 weeks old, and the Griffin Triplets of Ozark, Alabama remain in the NICU.
“I have trouble figuring out who is who,” mom Caroline Jackson chuckled.
That’s certainly understandable seeing how the triplets genetic make-up is the exact same.
You’ve heard of identical twins, but identical triplets?
Often times 2 of 3 triplets are twins, but all 3 triplets identical?
“All 3 of my babies shared the same placenta, but each had their own amniotic sack,” said Caroline.
“It’s called a spontaneous mono-tri pregnancy- in other words, they were conceived naturally without IVF, and their genetic make-up is identical,” added Caroline.
The odds of this happening? 1 in 100,000.
They were born via C-section on November 6th, 2025 at 31 weeks.
They weighed between 3-and-a-half and just over 4 pounds.
They were each 16-and-a-half inches long.
The triplets parents- Rhys Griffin and Caroline- named them Mack, Maddox and Myles.
While the triplets are now 9 weeks old, they remain in the NICU.
While they each weigh just over 7 pounds, they each have a feeding tube.
Only one of the three is eating orally, so doctors would like get the triplet’s feeding issues taken care of before sending them home.
Rhys and Caroline’s place is about to get very hectic.
Caroline has a 5 and a 2 year old, while Rhys has 2 children.
Add Mack, Maddox and Myles to the mix, and sleep will be at a premium.
It’s going to be a wonderful 2026, as Rhys and Caroline will soon welcome home their 3 sons.
Life will be good.
Once they learn to tell their triplets apart.
