LOUDOUN COUNTY, Va. – (WUSA) – One Virginia woman gave birth to her first child on Monday.
While that is a joyous moment for her family, it may not sound very unique.
She gave birth just one day after her sister delivered her fourth child, and it happened at the same hospital!
Hospital staff says that has never happened before.
“I am so happy to not be pregnant anymore,” Abigail Kasinski said. “My mom is bringing me margaritas at some point this week and I’m very happy.”
For Kasinski, motherhood was always the plan.
“We just wanted to have kids as soon as we could,” Kasinski added. “I think I’ve cried more in the last couple of days than most of my entire life. I’m not a crier.”
But as life goes, expect the unexpected.
“In my years of experience on labor and delivery, this has never happened,” Katie Beck, with StoneSprings Hospital, said. “That is so rare. That was something that was truly unique.”
Kelly Marcum delivered this week as well, just one day apart from Kasinski.
“It was really special knowing my sister was delivering at the same time as me,” Marcum said.
Sisters, with the same bond of finding out they’re pregnant the same week, sharing the same doctor and sharing the experience at the same hospital at the same time.
“We found their car in the parking lot and parked next to it so we knew they were here,” Marcum said.
But unlike Kasinksi, this is Marcum’s fourth child.
‘Having my first baby, I had no idea what was going on, what I was getting into,” Kasinski said. “Oh, I know, sweetheart, it’s OK. My sister was my maid of honor, so it’s really kind of a full circle moment.”
The sisters are two of nine siblings.
“I grew up in a huge family, so four is getting up to what I’m used to,” Marcum said. “It was crazy I learned to drive a 15-passenger. That’s what the first car that I drove was.”
It seems to run in this new family.
“I’m one of eight,” Kasinski’s husband said. “It was pretty cool. It was a little nice to have something in common.”
An already big family is only getting bigger.
“We will take however many God wants to send us,” Marcum said.
“As many as God will give us, but also God, I’m hurting right now, so let’s not,” Kasinski added.
