DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: All right, here is the story of the day, I think. We're going to turn our attention now to Florida and twin sisters who have shared virtually everything throughout their lives. A few days ago, they shared an experience they'll never forget, a double delivery. Please meet Christina Warren, and her sister, Angela Muncie. They had their sons on the same day about four and a half hours apart, and they're joining us from Sarasota, Florida right now with their husbands and their baby boys. Because of course they both had boys, because they have to do everything the same.
Hello, families. New mothers, new fathers.

Congratulations.

We have to explain, first of all, you are identical twins, right?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes.

KAGAN: Yes.

You are identical twins, got married within same year, live about five minutes apart, you girls, you do stuff together.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: All the time. They are best friends. Pretty much always doing things together as couples.

KAGAN: You go so far as to plan to have babies at the same time?

ANGELA MUNCIE, NEW MOM: Well, not exactly. What happened was last august, Christina and I were talk and said we're 26 years old, and it's about time to that we start thinking about having our first children. And it took three months for both of us.

KAGAN: And when was about the time, Angela, let you pipe in here, when was about the time you figured out, we might actually be having the babies on the same day?

MUNCIE: I would say that was probably, gosh, about three months after we started trying. And then when we had our first ultrasound around 20 weeks, they gave us real dates, and it was one day apart, so.

KAGAN: So due dates were that close?

MUNCIE: Yes.

KAGAN: All right, dads, let's bring you in here. This might be shocking to the rest of the world, but you're married to these twin sisters who, as they claim, kind of do everything together. This must be kind of what it's like to be married to Christina and Angela?

JEFF WARREN, NEW DAD: Yes, actually, they were always doing something together. And it's nice to actually for them to go through the births together. Because they -- I'm not sure if one would feel left out or not and have that twin thing going on. So it's been really exciting, and I'm really glad that the sons can grow up together.

KAGAN: Let's meet the babies.

So Angela and Brett, you have Ethan.

And there is Ethan.

MUNCIE: This little Ethan.

KAGAN: And Christina and Jeff, you have baby Tyler.

Of course we can't get too many baby pictures. So while we're looking at the babies, why don't you take us to the delivery day. I think it was five days ago the babies were born.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Six days ago.

KAGAN: Six days ago? Oh my God, they've been around forever. So six days ago, was it pretty evident on that day? Did you both go into labor at the same time, or was one of you induced to make this happen?

CHRISTINE WARREN, NEW MOM: We were both induced on the day, on Thursday, so about a week ago, because we were getting close to our due dates and doctor didn't want things to go over. They were both big boys, and she just thought it would be easier. We weren't induced on purpose to have them on the same date, it just so happened that are dues days were one day apart anyway, so.

KAGAN: And of course at the same hospital?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes.

KAGAN: And same doctor?

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Same doctor, Dr. Chapman.

KAGAN: And how was it for that doctor to go back and forth?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: I think it was probably a lot of hard work for her.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: She was kind of stressed.

C. WARREN: She was a little stressed, I think, but Dr. Chapman, she did a great job.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: The rooms were right next door, so it wasn't that far of a walk.

KAGAN: And who was born first, Ethan or Tyler?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Tyler was born first.

KAGAN: So Tyler's the old man of the group.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: He's four and a half hours older.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Four hours, 28 minutes.

KAGAN: And what about your parents, Angela, they must be beside themselves?

A. MUNCIE: They are so excited. They can't stop coming over. They come over every day, I think.

KAGAN: You guys live close by, right?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Yes, within about five minutes of each other. So makes things easier.

KAGAN: So any future plans? When is the next one due, guys?

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Oh, boy, I think we'll give it a couple of years.

UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Wait a while.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: If we can do this again.

KAGAN: Absolutely. Well, they are beautiful babies. They are healthy, congratulations, and enjoy, and thanks for sharing your double joy with us on CNN.
