PLYMOUTH (CBS) -- What are the odds of having identical twins? Three in one-thousand.

So what are the odds of one family having three sets of identical twins? Astronomical. But that's what's going on in Plymouth with the Christopher family.

"I just feel so blessed, now that it's going to be three generations," said Eileen Christopher, the matriarch.

She has an identical twin sister named Elane. And 31 years ago, Eileen gave birth to Justin and Jason.

"I tell people I had a womb-mate," says Jason.

Now, Jason's wife is pregnant with identical twins Charlotte and Violet.

"When I saw the ultrasound, I said is that two?!" said Amanda Christopher.
