CBS Los Angeles<\/a>.<\/p>\nTwo of the brothers are identical twins, adding another remarkable detail to an already extraordinary birth.<\/p>\n
For Craft, however, the numbers and circumstances surrounding the delivery took a back seat to one thing: knowing her babies were healthy.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I heard the first baby come out, I cried because I was just, \u2018oh my gosh \u2026 he\u2019s okay,\u2019\u201d Craft told CBS Los Angeles. \u201cThen the second one then the third one, and I was just like, I heard them all crying at once, and I was like, \u2018oh thank God, they are good.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The triplets join two older siblings, bringing the family to seven people \u2014 including five children under the age of 5.<\/p>\n
The boys\u2019 combined birth weight also attracted attention because it approached the range of notable triplet birth records. CBS Los Angeles described the delivery as nearing a world record, though the reported 19.3-pound total remains below the Guinness World Records mark for the heaviest triplets at birth.<\/p>\n
For the family, though, a record was never the goal.<\/p>\n
Dr. Rohit Passi, chief of neonatology at Kaiser Permanente South Bay Medical Center, visited the family after the babies came home and celebrated the successful delivery.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re just so happy, this is the best part, seeing them out and sitting with the family and this is the reason we do what we do,\u201d Passi said.<\/p>\n
Now, Bernal and Craft are facing the beautiful chaos of raising five children under 5 \u2014 with three new sons who arrived on their father\u2019s birthday and gave the family a celebration they\u2019ll never forget.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A South Los Angeles couple has plenty to celebrate after welcoming three new members to their family \u2014…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":1035222,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[5123],"tags":[1582,276,2961,224,5337,11164],"class_list":["post-1035221","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-ca","tag-california","tag-la","tag-los-angeles","tag-losangeles","tag-pregnancy"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/117191120788498519","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1035221","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1035221"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1035221\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1035222"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1035221"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1035221"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1035221"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
