Not once, twice or even three times — South Carolina mom Kristin Lammert now has four daughters who all share the same birthday, a streak of luck that should be almost impossible.

Lammert, 35, became a mother again with the arrival of her latest child, Valentina, on Aug. 25, who was born one month ahead of schedule.

“The birthday of my dog that I had growing up was Aug. 25,” she tells PEOPLE. “Then 10 years later, Sophia was born and we thought that was so cool. When Giuliana came, she was a little bit early. And when Mia came, she was extra early. Now Valentina’s extra, extra early. We really can’t grasp the concept ourselves.”

The odds of having four girls born on the same day is 1 in 1.285 billion, according to Lammert.

“It’s not very common at all,” Dr. Megan Gray, an OB-GYN at a hospital where Lammert previously gave birth,toldGood Morning Americain 2022. “Even when you try to time that, that would be logistically very difficult. So it is pretty wild that she’s delivered … children, naturally, unplanned, on the same day and years apart.”

Lammert tells PEOPLE now that “none of the four births were planned, none of them were C-sections, none of them were supposed to supposed to happen that way.”

“We wound up having to do a lot of extra testing and everything wound up being okay,” says Kristin. “But to protect our children’s emotions, we didn’t tell them until Easter. At that moment, Sophia said, ‘Oh, she’s going to come on her birthday.’ I said, ‘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.’ "

Sophia, however, was certain, Kristin recalls: “She said, ‘No, she will. She’s coming on my birthday.’ She was super adamant about it from Day 1.”

Fast-forward a few months and Kristin was getting through her last day of work on Aug. 23 when, while staring at her computer, her vision started to get blurry, she says.

Concerned, she texted a neighbor, who is a labor and delivery nurse, about her growing loss of sight. “She said, ‘Go to the hospital immediately,’ “ Kristin says.

It wasn’t until about 11:45 p.m. on Aug. 24 that the prospect of having another daughter born on Aug. 25 birthday hit Kristin and Nick.

“My husband and I looked at each other and started cracking up,” Kristin says. “We cannot believe this is going to happen again.”

“So,” Kristin adds with a laugh, “we were like, ‘Oh my gosh, she’s going to also come on Aug. 25.”

Valentina, whose name is a variation of the maiden name of Kristin’s mom, came into the world on Aug. 25 at 8:11 a.m., weighing 5 lbs. and 12.8 ozs.,

After giving birth, Kristin was monitored forpostpartum preeclampsiaas doctors wanted to make sure she didn’t have a stroke, seizure or kidney failure, she says.

“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.”

These days, according to Kristin, any drama in the family is fighting over who gets to hold Valentina next.

“They are just doing a lot of snuggles and spending a lot of time with her,” she says of her eldest daughters. “I’m still having to rest up until two weeks postpartum, which I’m coming up on. But I still am required to be in bed. So we are kind of hanging out in my room most of the time.”

“She dropped too much weight,” Kristin explains. “And so we’re kind of on a regimen to get her birth weight up. The good news is we haven’t had to go back to the hospital for either of us yet.”

The word “miraculous” keeps popping up in Kristin’s mind given what she and Valentina had experienced at the hospital.

“It’s miraculous that she’s here safely, thriving and growing as she should be,” Kristin says. “It’s miraculous that I’m healthy and alive. 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.”
