September 3 will be an even more special day for Jeremy and Sauhry Turner of Ocala, Florida from now on. The couple recently welcomed a new baby into the world on the same day as their other two daughters. This is the third time in four years they've welcomed a daughter on the very same day.
"I'm on cloud nine right now. I'm the happiest father in Ocala," Jeremy Turner said, in an interview with "Good Morning America."
"I was blessed with these three beautiful healthy girls, and I'm very happy."
The first daughter Jasmine was born first on Sept. 3, 2020. A year later, the mother gave birth to daughter Jessica, on Sept. 3, 2021.
And the latest addition to the Turner family is baby Juliet, who arrived on the very same day this year: Sept. 3, 2023.
"We were shocked and surprised that the third one wanted to be born on Sept. 3, as well as her other sisters," said Jeremy Turner.
The event had the medical staff equally shocked as the parents. Jeremy Turner said the doctors had never witnessed an instance like this before.
On the day of the delivery, their unique story began to spread throughout the hospital.
"A new nurse would come in, and they would always remind everybody that we had three girls born on the same day, and their mouths would drop. They were shocked," he said.
The father of three said on the day of Juliet's birth he was able to leave the hospital for a time to celebrate his older daughters' birthdays back at home with family members.
"We gave them gifts and balloons and we had cake," he said. "Then I went back to the hospital."
"That's all new to us. Sometimes, we don't even know how to sing 'Happy Birthday,"" he said, adding that the couple has found saying their daughters' names in descending age order to be the best strategy.
Jeremy hopes to take the family to Disney World for the girls' birthdays next year, adding that Juliet's two older sisters are big fans of Disney movies.
"I'm happy to see these three grow up and play with each other, and to see what they become in the future," he added.
