Hundley was born Sept. 27, 1978, in Westminster, Calif. Her mother, Roseaccioi, was born Sept. 27, 1957, in New York City.
"Everybody kept saying, 'Oh, wouldn't that be cool if you had them on your birthday?'?" Hundley said. "And I'm thinking, 'Nah, I'll probably have them like a week later so we all don't have to share birthdays.' And it just happened. And now that I think about it, wow, it's a miracle."
The odds of three generations from one family being born on the same day are 1 in 133,225,said Bill Bell,a Census Bureau mathematician,after another such birth in 1991.

Zoo officials say the size of the calf, which has not been named, could be due to its big father, Thai, or to the fact that Shanti was overdue.
The newborn stands 40 inches tall and measures 40 inches from head to rump.
Zoo spokesman Brian Hill said Shanti has accepted and voluntarily nursed the calf,
In 2004, Shanti nursed her first calf for about 10 days before rejecting it. That calf, named Bella, was raised by an adoptive mother at the zoo but had to be euthanized when she was 8 months old because she suffered complications from surgery for a broken leg.
The zoo worked on nursing exercises with Shanti leading up to Sunday's delivery to prepare for the baby.
