Twin sisters in Maine, who found about their pregnancies on the same day, gave birth just hours apart at Down East Community Hospital in the town of Machias on Friday.
Tashina Ackley daughter Ivory Mae Cushing was born just before 9 am on Friday, while her sister Erica's son Keiran Leighton Carter was born three hours later, the New York Daily News reported.
Tashina told the Bangor Daily News that the duo thought it would be cool if their kids were born on the same day, but didn't expect that to happen.
The twins, who turn 22 this week, gave their mom the news about their pregnancy on the same day as well, with Erica going first.
