A ‘last baby’.. ends up as 3

MUM Mary McCandlish wanted “one last baby” but had identical triplets – at odds of 160,000 to one.

Delighted Mary, 34, said yesterday that boys Thai, 3lb, Tyler, 2lb, and Tomas, 1lb, arrived 10 weeks early. She already has teenagers Peter, Emily and Katrina, and James, six.

Mary, of Barrhead, East Renfrewshire, gave birth by caesarean in Glasgow. She said: “I am only 5ft 1in and carrying triplets wasn’t easy. I was monitored every step of the way.”
