- All four of Kristin Lammert’s daughters were born on August 25 — but they’re not multiples.
- The girls were born in 2015, 2018, 2021 and 2024.
- None of the deliveries were planned, and the youngest arrived a month before her due date.
This as-told-to essay is based on a conversation with Kristin Lammert, 35, of South Carolina. It has been edited for length and clarity.
My husband, Nick, and I thought it was cute when our first daughter was born on August 25, 2015, on our dog, Koda’s fourth birthday.
But now that our three younger daughters were delivered on the same day in 2018, 2021 and 2024 — we can’t but think that divine intervention was at work.
The day before we had our latest baby, Valentina, my eldest Sophia, 9, wished upon a star that she would arrive healthy on her birthday.
The pregnancy had gone well but I’d been admitted to the hospital a month before my due date because of high blood pressure . I had pre-eclampsia and they were scared that it might develop into eclampsia, which would have put both me and the baby at risk.
