Two identical twins in Indiana now have another birthday in common: They delivered babies on the same day at the same hospital.
The Herald-Times reports 21-year-old Jessica and Jennifer Patterson gave birth Wednesday at Indiana University Health Bloomington Hospital.
Jennifer Patterson gave birth first to a girl, Adalynn Rose Patterson, who was born with a collapsed lung but is now doing fine.
Eight and half hours later, Jessica Patterson gave birth to a boy, Mason Douglas Patterson, by cesarean section.
Jennifer Patterson calls the same-day births “kind of cool.” AP writes that both women live in the tiny Lawrence County town of Judah.
Hospital spokeswoman Amanda Roach told AP no one can recall the last time identical twins delivered babies at the hospital on the same day.

Posted on October 23, 2011 at 7:55pmI married the best most beautiful (in all ways) woman in the world because I wanted her to be my wife and mother of my children. Sorry guys, when one comes across a gem like my wife, you take her out of circulation not make a sperm donation and leave. My wife wasn’t that stupid and thought more highly of herself and for her future children. Ladies, why would you want to be someone’s playtoy? Raising children is tough but the most worthwhile duty in the world. Why would you not want the love, help, and commitment of a husband? Is Uncle Sam the best “daddy” you could find for your baby? Boys need fathers to learn how to be husbands and fathers themselves. Girls need fathers to learn what to look for in a future husband and for their self-esteem. Single motherhood is just generational dependency and the children are for a lack of political correctness still B@st@rd$ or as Diana Ross and the Supremes’ sang about, “Love child, never quite as good. Different from the rest. Always second best” No joy in this story just more ghetto twins for hard working taxpayers to work even harder for.

Posted on October 22, 2011 at 11:55pmThe good news, they didn’t abort their babies. The bad news, they are obviously too immature to raise healthy babies if they don‘t realize that they shouldn’t bring babies into this world without a loving father/spouse to provide the balance needed for a happy childhood.

Posted on October 22, 2011 at 6:05pmBut, they are not the same… as the Egg split, because it detected a flaw… where the New Egg was created without the imperfection. So, they are nearly identical.

Posted on October 22, 2011 at 6:14pmThey both still have the same last name, Patterson. Are they both single Moms or is the Father the same one? Just wondering.
