Tulare Mother Welcomes Triplets
By Mike Hazelwood
First came Seth. Then Aiden. Then Emilia.
Now? A lot of diapers.
"[Doctors] said we need about 36 diapers per day," said sister Jacquelyn Delgado of Tulare.
At 18, Jacquelyn is the oldest of six children in the Delgado family, a number that was doubled about 6:50 a.m. Saturday.
That's when Jaime Delgado gave birth to the triplets at Community Regional Medical Center in Fresno.
To recap, the Delgado family is:
Jaime, 30, who returned home Wednesday.
Anthony, 36, the proud new papa.
Jacquelyn, a College of the Sequoias student.
Jacob, 16, a Tulare Union High School student.
Skyler, 12, a Cherry Avenue Middle School student.
Seth, who was born at 4 pounds, 7 ounces. He is expected to stay at Community Medical Regional Center for a few more days to gain more weight.
Aiden, who was born at 5 pounds, 10 ounces. He is recovering at Children's Hospital Central California from surgery to repair a tear in his lung.
Emilia, who was born at 5 pounds, 12 ounces. She returned home with Jamie.
The entire family should be home, happy and healthy, within two weeks, Jacquelyn said.
"I love babies, so I can't wait until they're all home and healthy," she said.
It was the first time giving birth for Jaime, who is stepmother to the older children.
She has been in the hospital the past five weeks in anticipation of the birth.
Heard good things come in threes?
The Delgados believe so.
Jaime and Anthony had been trying to have a child together for three years, and their three babies were born Nov. 3.
The oldest three Delgado children are preparing their Tulare home, including stocking up on food and diapers.
It will be a challenge for sure, but at least the family doesn't need to worry about mixing up the babies.
"They look different" Jacquelyn said. "Emilia looks like Jaime, Seth looks like my dad and Aiden, he has his own little look."
