A pair of Utah sisters were brought closer through a series of crazy coincidences, which led to same-day births for their newborn babies.
Mallory Averett and Marissa Deering said that like classic sisters, growing up they had their differences.
“We were very, very, opposite, that’s the only word I can think of,” said Deering.”
“We were sisters. We fought, I mean, all the time. We fought over clothes and the bathroom and who was showering first,” said Averett.
Then around 9 months ago, the two found out they were pregnant.
Their same-time pregnancies had eerie similarities.
“We both had the same symptoms, the same cravings, we both ended up with gestational diabetes. Like, yeah, they were identical pregnancies,” explained Averett.
They both said during the pregnancy, they talked every day.
“It’s brought me closer to her and just made me realize how amazing a person she is,” said Deering.
The sisters’ due dates were a few days apart; but then came February 8th.
“I was getting a little nervous that I wasn’t going make it to either one of them,” admitted their mother Carol Deering.
