On their shared birthday, August 18, a young couple in Ohio welcomed twin daughters and sons. The couple had intended to spend their birthday together, but they wound up in the maternity ward.
The couple’s shared birthday has become much more memorable now that they celebrate it with their newborn twins.
Imagine sharing a birthday with the love of your life and your two adorable little bundles of joy!
A couple in Cleveland, Ohio, welcomed twins on their shared birthday. José Ervin, 31, and Scierra Blair, 32, were both born on August 18, and their twins, José Jr. and A-ria, were born at 12:35am and 12:36am on the same day.
According to People, the pair planned to commemorate their first shared birthday by going to the aquarium, going to a Browns or Indians game, or simply spending time together for brunch or dinner. They had not expected to be in the maternity ward.
The couple was surprised to learn that their babies would be born early, but they were thrilled to welcome their new arrivals into the world. They said that the twins were the “best gift ever” and that they were now a family of four with the same birthday.
José told Bristol Live that he had another appointment while Scierra saw her obgyn.
“When I came back I tried to call her to see if she wanted me to bring her some food to her job. “
‘When she didn’t pick up I called my mum and missed a few calls from Scierra. Then my mom got a call from Scierra telling her that she had been told to go straight to the hospital to deliver the twins “
“I rushed there and was told as one of the babies were breached, Scierra would have to have a C section. At this point it was around 5pm and they were healthy – so I suggested we wait for a few hours so they could be born on our birthday.”
“I thought it would be amazing to have the same birthday but she thought it was bad enough she had to share her day with me, never mind the babies too. It also meant she couldn’t eat or drink for hours before the procedure, but I said I wouldn’t eat or drink either. “
“We waited eight hours and by the time everything was prepped they took her in and she delivered our son and daughter one minute apart. It’s the best birthday gift ever. I truly feel like it was a bless from god and I wouldn’t have had it any other way,” a grateful Jose said.
