3 Generations Of Minn. Family Share Birthday
Women Always Celebrate Together

ST. Paul, Minn. -- Three generations of Coon Rapids women are now part of a very unique club. They all share the same birthday. Roxie Koep was born on June 1. She shares the birthday with her 29-year-old mother Rachel Koep and 56-year-old maternal grandmother Paula Ballanger. According to a St. Paul Pioneer Press calculation, the chance of a mother having the same birthday as one of her parents and her newborn is 1 in 133,225.

The chance of them all having the same gender is even more remote. Many variables can affect the odds, including that June is a busier month for births than others. Ballanger said when Koep was younger she always tried to give her daughter her own special birthday, but now they nearly always celebrate together.

I was born the day after my mom's birthday. One of my best friends gave birth to her son the day after HER birthday. My brother was born two days after our dad's birthday. But this is REALLY unique!!!

My niece and my nephew were born on the same day. Four years apart.

My niece and nephew were born on the same day, only one year apart! My brother and sis-in-law didn't waste much time getting started on baby #2.

Their birthday is Christmas Eve too. After my nephew was born, my sister-in-law said we had better not expect new babies to be a holiday tradition.

That was 17 years ago and we haven't had a Christmas baby since.
