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.<\/p>\n

Rainy Jones and Darian Lowe learned they were pregnant at the same time. Then both discovered they were expecting twins.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe 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,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n

\"ALowes’ twins came home soon after their birth. One of Jones\u2019 boys came home earlier than the other. All four boys were home by May 26.(Katie Parker)Babies born 13 hours apart<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Thirteen hours later, on March 20, Jones delivered Ben and Rowan more than two months early. The boys were due June 1.<\/p>\n

Jones was at the hospital visiting her sister when she went into labor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI 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,\u201d Jones said.<\/p>\n

The sisters are four years apart in age. Their sons are separated by one hour and nine minutes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe wanted kids around the same time, but we never thought that it would be thirteen hours,\u201d Jones said. \u201cWe didn\u2019t even expect it to be a month apart.\u201d<\/p>\n

One of Jones\u2019 boys came home earlier than the other. All four boys were home by May 26.<\/p>\n

Lowe and Jones also have twin siblings. Their younger brother and sister, Hadley and Hudson, will turn 12 in September.<\/p>\n

Their mother, Shannon Jackson, raised one set of twins but said becoming a grandmother to four boys at once was new territory.<\/p>\n

\u201cI went from zero to four instantly,\u201d Jackson said. \u201cI used to dream for a big family cause I didn\u2019t have much growing up and wow. It\u2019s huge that I can share this with my girls.\u201d<\/p>\n

Hadley described having nephews who are all twins as \u201cvery chaotic.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou start out as sisters and you have that bond. But now it\u2019s like, you\u2019re adding a motherly bond also to it,\u201d Jones said. \u201cAnd also having twins is just another level of crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lowe\u2019s twins are identical. Jones\u2019 twins are fraternal.<\/p>\n
