  • bamafun, on 05/09/2008, -7/+67awesome news - out of tragedy comes joy ! Nice to hear good news for a change =)
  • zomgwaffles, on 05/09/2008, -5/+61Jerry : You know, life is amazing. I just lost a job and five minutes later get another, same weekend, same money.
    Kramer : You know who you are? Even Steven
  • RealmDown, on 05/09/2008, -2/+40Like Bamafun, digging because of Good News for change. Getting a little tired of the front page being "All My Delegates"
  • Vindexus, on 05/09/2008, -7/+42Well not OUT OF tragedy, more like after. The tragedy didn't cause the joy, it just preceded it.
  • mal1964, on 05/09/2008, -2/+32Losing 3 kids, I cant imagine.
  • doublsh0t, on 05/09/2008, -13/+43Anyone who dares to suggest that these are "replacements" for the lost children, I'm preemptively calling you idiots.
  • RealmDown, on 05/09/2008, -2/+22When they are ready, there is NO stopping them. They're like watermelon seeds. Some doctors even have emergency catchers mitts.
  • CycloneTH, on 05/09/2008, -3/+21If you have kids and lose them, then decide to have more, I'd call that a replacing something. They're not replacing the kids they've lost by any means. What they're replacing is the lost feeling of parenthood, and I see absolutely nothing wrong with that, but don't delude yourself into thinking that their loss hasn't affected their actions.
  • zagenhoft, on 05/09/2008, -0/+17She had In Vitro Fetilization and choose to have 3 fetilized egg implanted.

    The triplets Lori Coble is carrying — two girls and a boy — were conceived through in vitro fertilization. In the procedure, 10 of Lori Coble’s eggs had been fertilized and three became viable embryos.

    Chris Coble, 36, said there was just a 10 percent chance that three of the 10 eggs would be viable. The doctors wanted to implant just two of the embryos, but the couple had lost two girls and a boy and asked for all three embryos to be transferred to Lori Coble’s womb.

  • thailand1972, on 05/09/2008, -1/+18Must be bittersweet times when you see these new kids grow up and they do things that remind you of your previous kids :/
  • Brainmodder, on 05/09/2008, -8/+23Always make backups!
  • joshhan, on 05/09/2008, -5/+19Reminds me a little of Job.
  • aethelberga, on 05/09/2008, -0/+13See, that's what I was looking for that wasn't in the dugg article. If this was a strange coincidence of a natural multiple birth, then that's just freaky. Deliberate IVF planning for a multiple sounds like they might have needed a little counseling (though I do understand that they implant three and they might not all go to term)
  • mortigon, on 05/09/2008, -2/+13I like how you just assumed this...

    Sometimes atheists are just as bad as religious nuts.
  • NoCt1, on 05/09/2008, -0/+10maybe they didnt want three kids again.. just a thought.. maybe they were going to be like.. ok..
  • cjwl, on 05/09/2008, -2/+12I am impressed their marriage survived losing three kids to begin with.
  • reuscel, on 05/09/2008, -5/+14After the plethora of soul-crushing stories on here this week, this is great to hear.
  • natchiketa, on 05/09/2008, -1/+10No.
  • mal1964, on 05/09/2008, -1/+9Are you sure they didn't lose you?
  • arkive, on 05/09/2008, -4/+12I, too, have faith that having sex can produce children.
  • joshhan, on 05/09/2008, -0/+8I dunno, did you even read the article?

    "Lori Coble is listed in good condition after undergoing a C-section according to Denise Almazon, spokeswoman for Children's Hospital of Orange County."
  • RudeTurnip, on 05/09/2008, -1/+8Serious question...I wonder if these kids will think of their deceased siblings as their brothers and sisters or "those other kids from before" given the circumstances and the fact that there were 3 others before them. My mom had a brother that died as a baby years before she was born and although he was technically her older brother, she refers to him as a "little brother"...but in any case as a brother.
  • CedEx, on 05/09/2008, -0/+7So the oldest baby is the one the doctor decides to pull out first....
  • AtomicTheory, on 05/09/2008, -2/+9... are belong to Obama ?
  • pateo, on 05/09/2008, -1/+8If reincarnation IS real, I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way.
  • aussiejan, on 05/09/2008, -4/+11Nobody (including the parents) would say they were "replacing" the children rather they are filling a hole in their lives. I can't relate to their tragedy but early this year my husband and I lost our two cats - one was 16 and the other died from cancer - a month apart. We have two new kittens who are not replacements for our beloved pets but have filled a hole in our lives and in our hearts. And before people jump all over me, I am in no way comparing the loss of a child to the loss of a pet although I experienced profound grief with their deaths.
  • petemcfraser, on 05/09/2008, -0/+6This is just like the comment way up at the beginning of the story where someone quoted the episode where Jerry would always break even.

    ...only that one was better.
  • aklu, on 05/09/2008, -2/+8No matter how it happened, this is a great story in the wake of all the bad tidings we see regularly. Don't ruin it for the rest of us just cuz you're a pessimistic *****.
  • AtomicTheory, on 05/09/2008, -2/+8You're exactly right. You, sir, are a scholar and a gentleman.
  • therealfoz, on 05/09/2008, -3/+8logged in to digg you down
  • shadowman99, on 05/09/2008, -2/+7It's a human interest story. Can't you just be happy for someone who caught a break? Their kids died a year ago. Don't be a douchebag.
  • shadowman99, on 05/09/2008, -1/+6She carried them 32 weeks. That's amazing for a multiples pregnancy. My wife had twins and the doctor induced at 28 weeks to the day.

    Multiple pregnancies are considered high risk for mother and children, so doctors are usually anxious to deliver at the first possibility.

    In the case of my wife, the doctor was legally not allowed to induce until the 28th week. In Iowa it would be considered an abortion to induce during the 27th week, unless there's an emergency.

    Congrats to the family. I hope it helps them deal with their terrible loss.
  • Aloyarc, on 05/09/2008, -3/+8What's with all the preemptive douche baggery?
  • weaksnyc, on 08/14/2009, -2/+7I found him rather shallow and pedantic.
  • anazem, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5These babies were delivered by C-section, so one minute apart sounds reasonable.

    And, of course, congrats to the Cobles!
  • robert001, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4*****.
  • digjam, on 05/09/2008, -7/+11I bet they forwarded ALL the "Forward this email to 10 ppl or you will get Bad Luck for 10 years" emails they received!
  • Klarth, on 05/09/2008, -2/+6Because somebody submitted it and other people liked it enough to frontpage it
  • TheThirdLevel, on 05/09/2008, -4/+8Finally, a story of geniune happiness that has been so far untainted by politics.
    Dugg.
  • LogicBomB, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Actually yes, that makes you the definition of crazy.
  • homercles337, on 05/09/2008, -2/+6PRAIZE JESUS! Thank the good lord for all the good.

    No! Fertility doctors had NOTHING to do with this!
  • johnn11238, on 05/09/2008, -3/+7So how about you kill yourself to take some of the pressure off?
  • monkeyrun, on 05/09/2008, -3/+7It'll be even more awesome if they gave birth to 2girls1cup....
  • TheThirdLevel, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4You have obviously never been a parent. I hope you never become one, either. I would feel for your kids.
  • Spottswood, on 05/09/2008, -16/+20***** THE RIAA!
  • marktastic, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5Who pissed in your cheerios this morning? Did fate kill your dad or something?
  • Brainmodder, on 05/09/2008, -0/+4Is this some sort of meme on digg? Should I be doing this too?
  • jojo77, on 05/09/2008, -1/+5I can't even imagine losing 1 of my kids let alone 3. Their new kids will never replace that loss but hopefully they can bring them some joy again.
