Our children were born on the same day ...

Me and my twin brother have been extremely close since birth. Even though he is a boy and I am a girl we have always shared the same friends and stayed very close. Still till this day we talk daily and up until a few months ago lived with each other.

Well we are 28 years old now. I have two kids, my oldest is a girl. Well with my son I was due July 2nd of 2002 but I ended up going in labor with him on June 20th but not delivering him till the next day June 21.

Well my brother 1/2 years later was expecting his 1st son. His girlfriend was not due until June 28th. Well she was starting to have some complications with her pregnancy so her doctor decided to set her induction for June 23.

But on June 20th at 7:30 in the morning she went in labor she went to the hospital only to be sent back home due to irregular contractions. She ended back up at the hospital that night in full blown labor. The nurse said she expected her to have the baby that night. But her labor slowed down again. She ended up starting to really have bad contractions that next morning.

She then delivered him on June 21, my son's birthday. It is just weird that we being boy and girl twins and staying so close and my brother living with me and my husband and kids that his son was born on my son's birthday.
