LONGVIEW, Texas (KLTV) - Two sisters gave birth to twin boys within 13 hours of each other, continuing a three-generation pattern of twins in their family. Rainy Jones and Darian Lowe learned they were pregnant at the same time. Then both discovered they were expecting twins. Now after two of the boys had a stint in the neonatal intensive care unit, all four boys are safe and sound at home with their mothers. “She found out she was pregnant, then I found out I was pregnant. She found out she was having twins, then I found out I was having twins,” Jones said.

Lowe gave birth to Wilder and Walker just after noon on March 19. The boys were healthy and came home soon after they were born. Thirteen hours later, on March 20, Jones delivered Ben and Rowan more than two months early. The boys were due June 1. Jones was at the hospital visiting her sister when she went into labor. “I was at the hospital, visiting and holding her babies, and then went home, ended up in an emergency situation where I had to be rushed to the hospital and then thirteen hours later had ours,” Jones said.

The sisters are four years apart in age. Their sons are separated by one hour and nine minutes. “We wanted kids around the same time, but we never thought that it would be thirteen hours,” Jones said. “We didn’t even expect it to be a month apart.” One of Jones’ boys came home earlier than the other. All four boys were home by May 26.

Lowe and Jones also have twin siblings. Their younger brother and sister, Hadley and Hudson, will turn 12 in September. Their mother, Shannon Jackson, raised one set of twins but said becoming a grandmother to four boys at once was new territory. “I went from zero to four instantly,” Jackson said. “I used to dream for a big family cause I didn’t have much growing up and wow. It’s huge that I can share this with my girls.” Hadley described having nephews who are all twins as “very chaotic.” “You start out as sisters and you have that bond. But now it’s like, you’re adding a motherly bond also to it,” Jones said. “And also having twins is just another level of crazy.” Lowe’s twins are identical. Jones’ twins are fraternal.
