Akron, Ohio, Jan 3: Aiden and Donavyn Nelson were born about two hours apart on New Year's Eve to mothers who are identical twins.
The Akron Beacon Journal reports that the 19-year-old mothers -- Aimee and Ashlee Nelson weren't raised to do things alike and did not plan the births to come at the same time.
In fact, their due dates were about a week apart.
But Donavyn Scott Bratten was born just after noon on the last day of 2012. Aiden Lee Alan Dilts made his appearance at about 2 p.m.
They were delivered by the same doctor at Summa Akron City Hospital.
The son of Aimee Nelson, 19, and Matthew Bratten, 20, arrived at 12:11 pm Monday. He weighed 3.265 kg and measured 21 inches long.
The son of Ashlee Nelson, 19, and Cody Dilts, 22, weighed 3.990 kg and measures 22-1/2 inches long.
Dr Laura Schnegg carried out the delivery procedures.
The newborns' grandmother Marcella Farson said, the babies made Christmas special.
"Even the babies had things under the trees. They got little outfits, snowsuits, rattles, little toys, and they got their first Hot Wheels cars. They weren't even here yet and they got their first gifts from Santa", Marcella said.
Asked if she ever dressed them alike as girls, Marcella said: "Only when they were little. When they got to their individuality stage, I allowed them to do what they wanted - and they did for the most past. But the funny part is that nine times out of 10, one would come home with one thing purple and the other one would do the same thing but pink."
Aimee called at 4 am to say she was headed to the hospital. Her sister's call came about two hours later.
