Victoria Lasita, 39, of Delhi Township, a suburb of Cincinnati, has given birth to her second set of triplets, at Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati.
It is believed that Victoria received IVF to conceive both sets of her triplets.
Casey Alexander was born at 1:57 pm Wednesday at just four pounds, 2.5 ounces. Seconds later, Caden Bradley was born at 4 pounds, 13.5 ounces and Carson Charles emerged two minutes later at four pounds, 9.5 ounces.
All were between 17 1/2 and 18 inches long. The triplets were born at 34 weeks of pregnacy.
"Everybody seems to be doing well," 48-year-old father Tim, who witnessed the Caesarean-section birth in a delivery room brimming with 18 medical personnel, reported.
Tim was not sure when the babies will be ready to go home and join their older siblings, Jessica, Jillian and Brian, who will turn 4 in December.
The first set of triplets was born at 28 weeks. All weighed less than 3 pounds at birth. Lung problems contributed to "a little rocky start," Victoria said, but overall, they're healthy.
Based on previous experience, the couple figure they'll be changing about 300 diapers and preparing about 168 bottles a week.
