San sestara blizanki, Jalynne April Crawford i Janelle Ann Leopoldo, postao je stvarnost prije nešto više od devet mjeseci kada su saznale da su trudne i da će obje roditi dječake.

- Ostala sam u šoku kada sam dobila poruku - prisjetila se za časopis People Jalynne (39) trenutka kada joj je sestra otkrila da je trudna.

I Jalynne je samo četiri dana prije saznala da je trudna, pa je odmah nazvala sestru i obje su zaplakale. 

- To je bio božji odgovor na naše molitve - rekla je Jalynne.

Ona ima policistične jajnike zbog kojih je imala problema s plodnošću. Jalynne je s druge strane imala dva spontana pobačaja. Dok su blizanke pokušavale ostati u drugom stanju, prošle godine im je umrla sestra Jennifer Pippin.

Usprkos borbi i tragedijama koje su ih zadesile, uspjele su. Žive na drugim krajevima Amerike pa su odlučile biti skupa tokom trudnoće kako bi njihovi roditelji mogli biti prisutni pri porođaju sestara. Zbog toga su odlučile da ispitaju mogućnost postoji li opcija da rode na isti dan.

- Pitala sam to ljekara, rekao je da može jer, bebe su jednake gestacijske dobi i termin porođaja je u razmaku od sedam dana - otkrila je Jalynne.

Njena sestra je spakovala kofere i s porodicom došla u Arizonu šest sedmica prije termina.

- Dogurale smo do 39. sedmice i dana kad je zakazan porođaj - objasnila je Jalynne.

Tako su se 18. juna obje uputile u bolnicu. Jalynne je rodila ujutro, a njena sestra nekoliko sati kasnije. 

- Svi su nas pitali kako smo odlučile koja ide roditi prva. Ja sam prva rođena i prva ostala trudna, a i moj suprug ima pravo samo na tri slobodna dana - otkrila je Jalynne, koja je sina nazvala Bryson Ryder, dok je Janelle djetetu dala ime Jace Alan.

I don’t know where to begin...however, I will start with this has been one of the best experiences of my life. My identical twin sister @janelleleopoldo and I got to experience our pregnancies together in the same exact gestational period. We both followed miscarriages, she had an ectopic pregnancy with emergency surgery and we continued to pray. We always dreamt of being pregnant together and it never worked out until this one: my 4th and last child and her second child. We knew God had different plans for us and we are so grateful we stayed patient during the difficult times. From the moment we found out we were pregnant, up until the delivery room felt like a dream that was surreal! Twins just share a special bond that others can’t relate to unless you’re a parent of a set, a sibling of them, or a twin yourself! The #twinbond is an incredible relationship that doesn’t fade. We have been through life together from grade school, to college at @ucla @uclagymnastics to our Masters degree @pepperdine for Elementary teaching. Our husbands Brandon and Jason know and understand our relationship and they are amazing too. They even joke if you marry one, you marry both in the sense that we talk 5 times a day. Thank you @carieharrisphotography for capturing these beautiful “twins with babies born on same day” photos and @lizvalentinephotography for capturing our pregnancy photos!!! These bring tears to our eyes! These miracle boys will be best friends forever born on 6/18/18 together.

Tromjesečni dječaci već su najbolji prijatelji, a Jalynne, koja ima četvero djece, kaže kako je njezina porodica sada potpuna.

- Znam da sestra i njen muž također žele imati četvero djece, pa za njih još nije gotovo -  kroz smijeh je dodala Jalynne.
