Finally, they are home, after five weeks in the neonatal intensive care unit of a hospital at Texas. So Stephanie and Brad Harris got identical female triplets, called Addison, Savannah and Kinsley, on Dec. 1.

The birth had been through Cesarean 10 weeks much before their due date, and they weighed between three and three-and-a-half pounds each.

The Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital in Houston said that identical triplets are born only 1 in 60,000 pregnancies to 1 in 2 million pregnancies. Last year, four other sets of identical triplets were born in the United States, including a set of boys who were born in New York in September, according to New York Daily News.

At first, when they saw the sonography, they thought they were going to have twins but were amazed to discover that they had triplets. "I was shocked and still trying to get over learning we were having twins when we got news of triplets," said the mom, according to NBC News.

Released by the hospital after their birth, the parents are amazed. "We are prepared," said dad, Brad. "I'm just way outnumbered now."

"We got ankle bracelets, and we're going to color coordinate them," Stephanie said. "Hopefully, we don't get them mixed up."
