A striking set of coincidences ended with two sisters from Drexel Hill welcoming newborn baby boys just hours apart, writes Michael Lee Simpson for People.

Michelle Hilferty and Monica Hogan, who both live on the same street, delivered on June 26, 2023 at Lankenau Medical Center in rooms right next to each other.

Hogan’s baby son, Ryan, arrived at 5:57 AM. Hilferty’s son Anthony showed up at 8:50 PM.

“It’s just going to be exciting to see the friendships they make and the bond that they have,” Hilferty told CBS station KYW-TV.

Hilferty had a planned induction days away when she stopped by to visit her older sister who had gone into labor, according to KYW-TV. 

“I had actually scheduled my induction for our due date that upcoming Friday,” Hilferty told the station.

Hours later, she was back at the hospital to deliver her own baby.

A spokesman for Main Line Health wrote on a social media post that the sisters are synched up and “not newbies when it comes to coincidences.”

Apparently, Hogan’s 4-year-old son was born on her birthday.

Hilferty’s 2-year-old daughter was born on her grandfather’s birthday.
