A set of identical twins from Texas have something more to share than twin sisterhood as they both recently became new moms, only 48 hours apart, at the same hospital.
Nigerian-born twin sisters Kehinde Adedayo and Taiwo Aluko found out they were both expecting in April of last year.
"I wanted to surprise Kehinde and have my little girl bring her the positive pregnancy test when she was least expecting it," Aluko told NBCDFW.com.
"Little did we know, she had the very same surprise planned for me when her 2-year-old son brought me her positive test at the same time that evening!"
The sisters were so close in their pregnancy they ended up giving birth within 48 hours of each other.
Zoey Adedayo was born Feb. 7 at 9:24 p.m., and Tony Aluko was born Feb. 9 at 1:24 a.m, both at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southwest Fort Worth.
"It's rewarding to serve as an extension of people's families during the pandemic," said nurse Shelby Jones of the sisters getting to experience this part of their lives together since family members were restricted from visiting due to COVID protocols.
"We were both shocked and so excited to go through this journey together," Adedayo said.
Adedayo and Aluko have lived in Texas for nine years. Both families have settled in Arlington and plan to raise their babies together.
