Central Illinois sisters deliver babies 1 day apart
(AP) — Kristin Werner's plan for Tuesday was to visit her sister, Lindsay Litwiller, and Lindsay's newborn daughter.
Nord, who delivered both children and has been an obstetrician/gynecologist for 35 years, said it was the first time he provided care for sisters giving birth in the same hospital one day apart.
Delivering at about the same time was not planned by the sisters and their husbands, Joel Werner and Luke Litwiller.
Claire was born at 9:26 a.m. Monday, weighed 7 pounds, 15 ounces and is 19¼ inches long.
What wasn't expected was for Kristin on Tuesday to never make it to Lindsay's room, but to immediately be admitted and deliver Gavin at 7:48 p.m. the same day.
[...] it was kind of funny seeing everyone (family members and nurses) go back and forth between the rooms.
