Identical twin babies were delivered by identical twin nurses at a Georgia hospital

(CNN) -- As a pair of identical twin girls entered the world, they were greeted in the delivery room by two people who had been there before: Tara and Tori, the identical twin nurses working in their delivery room.

After a serendipitous turn of events, the twin nurses at Piedmont Athens Regional Medical Center in Athens, Georgia were able to deliver Addison and Emma Williams on September 25.

Brannan Williams, the father of the newborns, said he was happy to hear there would be twins in the delivery room (in addition, of course, to his own).

kind of buggy-looking, like, as you said, larva. For me, it takes a few weeks before they enter the cute stage.

A minister once told the congregation that when they were expecting, he prayed not just that mom & baby would be okay, but that God would him with a sense of wonderment about the baby. He said he always thought they were kind of ugly!

4. They do look like larvae, which is why I call it the larval stage. First 3 months are also commonly

referred to as the fourth trimester, since human newborns come out of the oven distinctly undercooked.
