Three Generations Share A Birthday

According to a Census Bureau mathematician, the odds of three generations from one family being born on the same day are 1 in 133,225. But it happened last week to an Arizona family when Andria Hundley, 28, gave birth to twins, Kaitlin Marie Zeh and Malia Rose Zeh on Sept. 27, which happens to be her birthday as well as that of her mother, Rose Caracciolo.

The identical twins were supposed to be born on Oct. 20, but were delivered by emergency C-section.

"Like about 2:30 in the morning my mucus plug was apparently leaking and so by the time morning came I went into the doctor's office and they told me, 'we're going to do a cesarean that day because my mucus plug broke and I was bleeding," Hundley told The Early Show co-anchor Hannah Storm. "On my birthday they sent me in for a Cesarean. Little Malia here was breach."

Hundley said she joked about her twins being born on her and her mother's birthday, but never expected it to happen. Caracciolo was in Mexico celebrating her 49th.

"I was happy. I was very happy. And I couldn't wait to get back and see the girls," she said. "I was reliving it all over. It is definitely fate. I've said that from the beginning.

Hundley says it's a miracle.

"I'm so blessed," she said. "I'm so in love with my babies."

Next year Caracciolo will turn 50 and said they will celebrate with four cakes.
