Britanie Housel, of New Freeport, Greene County, was scheduled for a C-section June 2 at Washington Hospital. So when her husband, Jarrod Corwin, opened a text message several days before that telling him that Housel蘑菇视频 water had broken, he was surprised.
Even more surprising: When the couple arrived to Washington Hospital蘑菇视频 CARE Center for Family Birth and Women蘑菇视频 Health, Corwin蘑菇视频 sister, Miranda Stoneking, and her husband, Cody, were already there.
鈥淚 didn鈥檛 even know my sister was being induced. To become a parent the same time my sister does, that蘑菇视频 pretty cool,鈥� Corwin said. 鈥淛ust having (a kid) the same day as a sibling, not even an hour apart, that蘑菇视频 insane. It蘑菇视频 a once-in-a-lifetime thing.鈥�
Corwin and Housel welcomed their second child, daughter Maria, into the world at 11:02 a.m. Tuesday, May 31. At 12:55 p.m. the same day, the Stonekings had their third child, a healthy baby boy named Walker.
鈥淚 thought it was funny because she was due to be induced on my other son蘑菇视频 birthday. We thought those two are gonna share a birthday,鈥� said Miranda Stoneking, of Sycamore. 鈥淎nd then at 9 we found out that (Britanie) was actually on her way to the hospital. We got there and she came right after us. I was super excited to get to share (the experience) with her.鈥�
