Triplet gives birth to her own set of triplets

A Detroit, Michigan woman who's one-third of a set of triplets is celebrating the birth of her own three babies.
Amber Ali delivered Amir, Armann and Amari Whitaker on May 26 at Sinai-Grace Hospital in Detroit. The 23-year-old woman tells The Detroit News she's relieved the boys arrived safely.
The children remain hospitalized, and Ali says she's looking forward to playing with them. She says: "It's going to be fun."
Amir was 4 pounds, 5 ounces at birth; Amari was 4 pounds, 3 ounces; and Armann was 3 pounds, 12 ounces. The babies' 25-year-old father, Andre Whitaker, says that naming the triplets "took forever."
The couple live with Whitaker's mother in Detroit. Amber Ali's triplet sisters, Asia and Ashley, live in nearby Redford Township.
