Three Heartbeats, One Miracle: The Hammond Triplets
When Carmen Hammond went for her routine 8-week ultrasound, she expected a single heartbeat. Instead, the room went silent as the technician revealed the impossible: three heartbeats.

Born two months early, these tiny warriors—two boys and a girl—started their lives in the NICU, with the smallest weighing just 2 lbs 12 oz. Through weeks of uncertainty and long drives between cities, Carmen and David’s fear slowly turned into a fierce, protective love.

“I was terrified at first,” Carmen admits. But today, the tears of shock have become tears of joy. Against the odds, these naturally conceived triplets are the only ones on Vancouver Island—a rare, beautiful reminder that life’s greatest surprises come in threes.

Welcome to the world, little ones. Your journey has only just begun.
