Temitope Alao had been trying to conceive for about six years, and at about eight months into her pregnancy, she gave birth to two boys and a bouncing baby girl.
The 34-year-old welcomed three 3-pounders into the world: a girl, Temiloluwa, meaning “God belongs to me”; and two boys, Oluwafikayomi and Ifeoluwa, meaning “God has increased my joy” and “God’s love,” respectively.
Both of the babies’ grandmothers were in the delivery room, including the new mother’s mother-in-law, Afolake Alao, 58, a longtime registered nurse at Woodhull Medical Center in Brooklyn. The News reports that Afolake insisted that her daughter-in-law come to the United States for the delivery.
