BOSTON (WHDH) - A Lakeville couple celebrated the birth of twins on a day of 2s.
After staying at Brigham and Women’s Hospital for the past three weeks, Heather Xavier and her husband Pedro welcomed twin sons Kaiden and Karter on Tuesday.
Though the new parents had hoped they would hang out a little closer to their April 22 due date, the boys had their own destiny to fulfill and one of the more than 20 nurses and doctors in the room during delivery seemed to know that too.
“I was in labor for 30 to 34 hours so they decided to be born today,” said Heather. “Then one of the nurses said can you imagine if they are born on 2/2/22 and O just said, ‘I want them born now. Twin boys on a Tuesday.”
The twins are staying in the Neonatal Intensive Care unit but they and their parents are healthy, hospital officials said.
Instead of a baby’s first cry, other couples heard wedding bells on Tuesday.
Spinner Music Productions owner David Buono said some couples prefer the symmetry of the date while for others, it is more of a spiritual decision.
“Means a lot to them — they will book a wedding regardless of the day of the week Monday Tuesday— just to have that date,” he said.
The event design and production company celebrated four happy couples that night.
