MCLEANSVILLE, N.C. – Anthony and Kaché Byrd met while in school at North Carolina A&T in 2009.
Anthony was a senior and Kaché was a sophomore, but they lived right across from each other’s dorms.
The first time they met, Anthony knocked on Kaché’s door asking to borrow a broomstick.
“I really needed a broom to clean my dorm,” Anthony said. “I gave it back to her and we started having conversations and the conversations just lead to this.”
Fast-forward 9 years later, the couple is married and have three beautiful children: 5-year-old Chasity London, 3-year-old Caris Jayde and 1-year-old Kasen Anthony.
By the way, they’re expecting triplets.
“It was completely spontaneous, we had no clue,” Kaché explained. “We were actually trying to avoid pregnancy and it happened!”
Kaché found out she was pregnant back in October. She ignored the symptoms the first time around thinking it couldn’t be possible, but decided to take a pregnancy test when they persisted.
“I went and grabbed a pregnancy test from the dollar store,” she said. “Automatic positive!”
An ultrasound in December revealed the family was expecting another set of girls and a boy.
“How it works in-utero for higher-order multiples is the oldest baby will be a girl, the middle baby will be also a girl and the youngest baby will be a boy,” the expecting mother said.
Kaché says she has received nothing but support from family, friends and their church.
“They said you’re gonna need a bigger car, a bigger house and lots of diapers!” Anthony shared.
His wife’s unexpected pregnancy has also been well received on social media.
As a stay at home mom, Kaché decided to document her journey in motherhood and being pregnant with triplets on social media.
Her YouTube channel This Byrds Nest has over 22,000 followers and the most popular video features their triplets gender reveal with over half a million views.
The Byrds are embracing the change that will come and are grateful for the support they’re received so far.
The triplets, whose names haven’t been decided yet, are due in May.
