 They all share the same birthday. Roxie Koep was born on June 1.
She shares the birthday with her 29-year-old mother Rachel Koep and
56-year-old maternal grandmother Paula Ballanger. According to a St.
Paul Pioneer Press calculation, the chance of a mother having the same
birthday as one of her parents and her newborn is 1 in 133,225. The
chance of them all having the same gender is even more remote. Many
variables can affect the odds, including that June is a busier month for
births than others. Ballanger said when Koep was younger she always
tried to give her daughter her own special birthday, but now they nearly
always celebrate together.
