As the father of 11-year-old twins, I could relate to the story we did yesterday on a mother of new triplets.
Often on sleepless nights when my twins were little, I would tell myself ”we could have had triplets!”
Well, Nicole and Johnathon Madison of Haslet had triplets, but that is not what makes their story so unique.
Consider the rash of “threes” that came with their births last Friday at Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth.
–Nicole’s water broke at 3 am.
–The triplets were born the same day as their sister’s 3-year-old birthday.
–The triplets were born at 33 weeks.
–Nicole and Johnathon are about to turn 33.
They say the odds of natural-born triplets (Nicole took no fertility drugs) are about 1 in 8000. What do you think the odds of all those other “threes” are?
The Madisons have a beautiful family (that has just doubled in size) and I wish them the best.


Thanks so much for the beautiful story of my son and family. To mention more 3’s–they are also siblings of 3 each, she with 2 brothers, and he has a sister & brother, and she was in room 353 on the 3rd floor.
Anyway God knew what he was doing when he gave them these beautiful babies, they will be well loved and taken care of.

Congratulations, Nicole and Jonathan! What a true blessing from God this is! You have such a beautiful family!
Congratulations from Bob and me. What an incredible miracle and what a beautiful family you have, and I love the names you chose. Chloe is going to have her paws full as well as you. Hopefully we can get all of you up here later this Summer.
