The Library of Congress Twins become mothers together I claim no rights other than colorizing this image if you wish to use let me know. Title Twins become mothers together for second time in less than two years. Washington, D.C., April 7. Accustomed to doing practically the same things all their lives, these Washington twins, now mothers, have apparently decided that having their children together would certainly be in order. The mothers, Mrs. Eileen Moon, left, and Mrs. Kathleen Robie, last week gave birth to daughters to set a new record at Columbia Maternity Hospital. Mrs. Moon's youngster, whom she named Carol, was born on March 29, while Mrs. Robie's new daughter Nancy Lee first saw the light of day on April 1. This same thing happened in July 1937 when Mrs. Robie gave birth to a girl and a few hours later Mrs. Moon's baby, a boy, arrived Contributor Names Harris & Ewing, photographer Created / Published [19]39 April 7.

Rob, I've viewed the original image and has read your narrative.

The latter is still amazing to me because I suppose that both couples don't have agreed that the wives would attempt to give birth to their offspring at almost the same time, ☺ .
Still a miracle to me. I like to say too that you've given this picture of this happy occasion a festive mood by your very apt way of colorization. If one of the new born child's would have been a boy, think you had to change the color of his mother's dress into blue, ☺ .
Very good work again, my friend!

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB

As was popular back then, I'm betting the twins had a double wedding, and if that is so, then there also was a double consummation... aaaaaaaattt pretty much the same night? I remember those crappy iron hospital beds. The small, old, and poor hospital I was born in, in 1953, had the same beds, chipped paint and all, until a new hospital was constructed 18 years later. What would have been a real hoot is if these twins had both had twins themselves, and if those twins of twins were all female! Twins run in family genetics so it could easily have happened.

Wonderful that you have discovered this photo, incredible. My sister and I are twins. It's a wonderful way to grow up, and just keeps on giving. The coloring here is quite touching actually, the focus is on the mothers and babies, and what you have provided makes this special.

No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted.
