Having twins is a pretty rare occurrence. It happens, spontaneously, about 1 in every 200,000 pregnancies. But one woman has defied all of the odds and then some. Kimberly Alarcon just delivered twins, and it's her third set.
"What are the odds?" you say. Well, we can't even calculate them.
The 37-year-old mom welcomed the babies at Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, New York. The girls, Kenzy and Kenzley, joined Brittney, 17; Sarah, 13; Hunter, 10; Zachary, 6; Zoey, 6; Olivia, 4; Oliver, 4; and King, 3.
Life is crazy busy, but Kimberly says they love it. “Our home is full of love,” she told Today Parents. “We have good days, we have bad days, just like any other family. We just take it one day at a time.”
She's used to a large family. After all, she was one of 18. Her own mother had 10 biological kids and adopted eight! “Having a packed house is normal for me,” she said. “Not only were there 18 of us, but then we also had our friends coming over. Sometimes we had 30 kids over at once.”
Her husband, on the other hand, grew up with only one sibling. He might be having some sensory overload. But she says he always hoped for a big family.
