GREENFIELD, Ind. -- A new mom just welcomed a set of identical triplets into the world Thursday in a one-in-a-million pregnancy, according to ABC affiliate RTV6.

Ashley Alexander carried the three girls, Sophia Mae, Alexis Kae, and Ella Shae for 36 weeks, after a natural conception with husband Matt Alexander. The family is happy that Ashley and all three bundles of joy are happy and healthy.

Sophia and Alexis weighed in at more than 4 pounds, while Ella was born slightly bigger at 5 pounds.

"It's just an awesome blessing for God to entrust us with three more little blessings all at once," Ashley told RTV6.

The odds of identical triplets are so rare, the odds of it happening are still unclear, though could be as high as one in one million pregnancies.
