Twin Cousins

So not only was Brynlie born June 28th, but so was Braxton Michael Allen (My little sister Sarah's baby) Sarah went in Thursday June 26th at 9pm to be induced. I game in Friday night at 7:30pm. We were at the same hospital just down the hall and had the same OB. My parents were thrilled ... I can't say the same for the Dr. Ha ha. Sarah was dilated to a 2 I was a 4. Then she jumped to a 5 and I was still a 4 the race was on. I made it to a 6 and then she fully dilated. I had to wait to get all of my antibiotics (for step B) so I just had to wait for them to come in and brake my water. Sarah wanted to rest before she pushed, so they let her. While she was resting the Dr. came in broke my water and I zoomed to a 10. I was ready to go, 2 pushes later Brynlie was born. The OB delivered her sewed me back up and then went straight to Sarah room 18 minutes later Braxton joined the family!!!! 7lbs 15oz and 21.5inches long. It was so fun having Sarah just down the hall and seeing the differences in our babies. We are all doing great and my parents were elated. To top it all off it just so happened to be my Dad's birthday. Sarah and both were more than happy to let him stay and witness both of the babies enter this life on his b-day.

Those pictures are so cute. I can't believe that you guys were so close in delivery. That is crazy. I spell my daughers Brinley. But I just think that name is so cute and don't mind at all sharing. :) Glad you got your pictures to load.

I could go for this scenario! Did you happen to have joint post-partum rooms, too? This wouls probably be the only time that I would prefer a roommate.
