Some things in life happen and we cannot explain why or how — they're just truly incredible miracles and occurrences. These are the kind of stories you read or see on the news and think, "Wow, sometimes life is truly beautiful."
Simone and Shari were both due in July, just at different times. However, the two ended up giving birth to their two daughters on the same exact day.
On July 3rd, both Liberty and Hailey were born at Mercy Medical Center, and Elmo was clearly a proud grandfather to have not one, but two birthday gifts.
She claims she had "purposely" scheduled her C-section for the 3rd, knowing it was her dad's birthday, too.
Shari told CBS News: “They’re like twins...they’ll be close." The girls were born only four and a half hours apart.
With the cousins sharing a birthday and Elmo also celebrating, their 4th of July parties will be ones to remember every year.
In 2018, twin sisters Jalynee Crawford and Janelle Leopoldo found themselves in a similar situation.
Due to having high-risk pregnancies, they had to schedule their deliveries via C-sections. The doctors said they could schedule them for the same day, as long as they didn't go into early labor.
They gave birth in the same hospital, and had their babies delivered by the same doctor. They both had boys, too!
Each photo shared reminds social media users that sometimes in life, things just work out so beautifully.
Sometimes, it feels like no one around you gets what you're going through because your body is going through so much.
Plus, getting to watch them grow up together side-by-side is a miracle all on its own!
