Identical twins Amanda Caston and Julia Baldree weren’t expecting to give birth on the same day, but fate had other plans.
Caston, a teacher, tells PEOPLE she was due to deliver son Miles on April 2, while her sister was expecting her twin boys, Josiah and Carter, to arrive on April 22.
But even when they learned that they were going to welcome their children early, they had no idea that they’d give birth on the same day.
“I was not expecting that at all,” Caston says.
Caston was induced one week early on the 27th, but didn’t deliver until the next day — the same day Baldree had her cesarean section.
“When he got here at 10:24 a.m. on Monday morning, I was waiting to hear from my sister,” says Caston. “And then I found out they were all born within an hour.”

Neither sister ever expected to have their own set of twins, so the fact that Baldree did is “mind blowing.”
“It’s been really fun and definitely an adventure,” Caston shares. “And we’re excited that they get to share birthdays just like we did.”
She adds, “So it worked out really good, and we’re all really excited.”
