See What Makes The Birth Stories Of Two Sisters, Sharie and Simone Cumberbatch Truly Special

One the 3rd day of July 2019, a true ‘Sister Act’ occurred for two sisters in New York. Shari and Simone Cumberbatch knew their daughters would be close in age, but they did not foresee every other sweet coincidence that the birth of their girls would herald.

Both sisters were originally projected to give birth mid-July, however, Simone and her doctor planned a C-section for July 3. She selected the date because it’s her father’s birthday. What the family didn’t plan was for her sister Shari to go into labour on the same day.

The pair gave birth in the same hospital and on the same day, which also happened to be their father’s birthday. What’s more? – their daughters were also delivered by the same doctor!

Shari’s unexpected labor actually delayed Simone’s scheduled C-section as the two shared the same doctor. According to Good Morning America, Shari’s daughter, Hailey, was born at 12:57 p.m. and Simone’s daughter, Liberty, was born a few hours later at 5:30 p.m.

“They’re like twins… they’ll be close,”

Shari said in an interview with CBS New York.

The babies’ grandfather received two gifts to celebrate his 70th birthday.

“I always used to say ‘what if, what if it happened,’ not knowing it would actually happen,”

the newborns’ granddad Elmo Cumberbatch told CBS New York.

It’s probably safe to assume all future birthday parties will be planned out well in advance and will be held on the same day.
