On May 5, the 30-year-old twin sisters beat the odds by giving birth to near-identical baby boys within hours of each other.
Both sons weighed in at 7 pounds, 3 ounces, measured 20 inches, and were born just meters apart at the Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Anaheim.
In an interview with KTLA, the sisters explained that - while they had always planned to get pregnant at the same time - they had never dreamed they would give birth so close together.
"The morning of our scheduled C section date my sister called me and said 'don't freak out but my water just broke,'" Jill recalled.

Erin and Jill were then given rooms across the hall from each other with their babies. When they were discharged - naturally, at the same time - the two moms returned to their separate homes. But they were still within easy reach of each other, thanks to living just five minutes apart in Yorba Linda.

"We're so incredibly close and we're so thankful that our sons have the same opportunity and the same experience coming their way," they said.
In an interview with People, Jill described how close she and Erin were as kids, saying: "We played together, slept together, ate together. My parents would talk about how we had our own language together. We'd be in our cribs side to side and make these cooing sounds. I'd make a sound and Erin would respond."

"It just feels like it was supposed to be," Jill told the outlet. "It is a little surprising because what are the odds? But it's like, of course this would happen to us."
Congratulations to this wonderful family!
