Mother gives birth to her 3rd consecutive set of twins, bringing her total number of children to 6 from 3 pregnancies.
A mother has had her third set of twins in five years.
Jolene Mckee, 32, and Andrew Mckee, 33, of Brooklyn, New York, have welcomed their third set of twins, Aiden and Jaiden, who are now three months old.
Having six children from three pregnancies has been a blessing, and since twins are all they know, she has felt more confident each time.
Aiden and Jaiden are the newest additions to Jolene and Andrew’s family. They’re all fraternal twins.
A big family was never in Jolene’s plans.

But having six babies from three pregnancies is a blessing.
‘I felt extremely happy that we have all three combinations, female twins, boy-girl twins, and now our boy twins.
‘It was perfect.

‘Even though they’re twins, they have distinct personalities and their own little pals.
‘I love seeing them grow and develop.
‘It makes me happy.
‘People can’t believe we have all the kids.
The fact that we are young makes them wonder how we can have so many.
‘When we tell the story, they are stunned.
‘They are fascinated.
‘Keeping six kids organized and on a routine is difficult.
‘Keeping up with the laundry is also difficult.
‘I do six loads of laundry per week.
‘But the kids are all really close and kind.
‘I love our family and wouldn’t change it.’
