Triplet babies born to three parents in staggered births
Linda Schaper of Chesterfield and her sister Barbara Payne of Columbia, Missouri, delivered three babies from a single May in vitro fertilization. Two were born to Linda on Christmas Day, the third to Barbara a month later. Doctors say this is the first known case of triplets born to different women at different times from the same fertilization effort. The trio weighs 10 pounds 5 ounces at birth for Allison, with Madison and Jackson arriving earlier and lighter. The families describe a close bond and new family dynamics as they raise the three siblings together.
