These Four Sisters Share a Birthday, Which is Quite the Miracle
September 16, 2024
Four sisters from South Carolina all share the same birthday. What are the odds of this happening in the same family?
Kristin Lammert, 35, and her husband Nick Lammert, 36, are parents to Sophia, 9, Giuliana, 6, and Mia, 3. And they were all born on August 25th, just like their new baby sister, Valentina.

The Date Was Meant To Be
The chances of four siblings being born on the same day are almost impossible, but that's precisely what happened. Additionally, Kristin tells People about how the dog she had growing up also had an August 25th birthday. That date was meant to be.
"Sophia was born and we thought that was so cool. When Giuliana came, she was a little bit early," Kristin says. "And when Mia came, she was extra early. Now Valentina’s extra, extra early. We really can’t grasp the concept ourselves.”
When the pregnancy began, it didn't seem like the baby had a significant chance of being born on that particular day. Valentina's due date was September 25th, a full month before the day. Kristin and Nick also didn't tell the other girls about the new baby coming until April due to concerns about potential abnormalities with the baby.
Kristin Went to the Hospital a Month Early
When they did tell the girls, Sophia, the oldest, said that the baby would come on her birthday. "Sophia, I really don't want to disappoint you, but she's really not going to come on your birthday. There's no way she's going to be over a month early," Kristin told her daughter. Sophia insisted, "No, she will. She's coming on my birthday."

But that is exactly what happened. On August 23rd, over a month until the due date, Kristin was getting through her last day of work. When she was sitting at her computer, her vision started to get blurry.
After texting a neighbor who was a labor and delivery nurse, she went to the hospital. The medical staff at Greenville Memorial Hospital diagnosed her with preeclampsia. Preeclampsia is a complication of pregnancy; left untreated, it can lead to severe and even fatal complications for the mom as well as the baby.
It Started To Become Clear That The Four Sisters Would Share A Birthday
“The only cure for preeclampsia is delivery of the baby,” Kristin says.“So they hooked me up to a bunch of things and they were monitoring myself and the baby to make sure I was going to be okay. So they couldn't send me home.”
Around 11:45 p.m. on August 24th, Kristin and Nick started thinking that this baby might be born on the 25th, making it so the four sisters shared a birthday. “My husband and I looked at each other and started cracking up,” Kristin says. The couple couldn't believe it could happen again.
Valentina came on the 25th at 8:11 a.m., weighing 5 lbs and 12.8 oz. After she was born, Kristin's mother brought the sisters in to meet their new baby sister. They also had a little birthday party set up with balloons, pizza, and donuts. What a fun surprise for the girls!

The Sisters Were In Love With Her
“They were so in love with her,” Kristin says. “My girls kept singing ‘Happy Birthday’ to her, too. Some of the nurses came into the room and we all sang ‘Happy Birthday.' We started at the top: Sophia, Giuliana, Mia — and now Valentina.”
After the birth, she was monitored for postpartum preeclampsia to make sure she didn't have a stroke, seizure, or kidney failure. Although Valentina was tiny, she didn't need to be in the NICU to learn how to swallow or for her lungs. She was also being checked for every little thing.
Valentina was discharged the next day, and Kristin joined her two days later because of a resolved medical issue.
“It’s miraculous that she’s here safely, thriving and growing as she should be. It’s miraculous that I’m healthy and alive," Kristin says. "And then when you throw in the shared birthday factor, that’s miraculous and so unlikely in itself, and blows my mind every time I realize our reality.”
These four sisters, who share a birthday, will have a blast each year as they celebrate and enjoy their special day together.
