Finding out you're pregnant can be one heck of a surprise, so just imagine how surprising it would be to find out that you and your best friend are pregnant at the same time! For cousins Gracie Owens and Victoria Bachlet, who have been joined at the hip since their diaper days, it was the best surprise they could ever ask for. And to take it even further, the two women ended up giving birth just two days apart from each other.
"Me and Victoria just grew up, she was like my best friend growing up," Gracie explained.
"She was also my cousin," she added.
Victoria chimed in, "We became like sisters." The two then went into recalling the moment they found out they were both pregnant. Victoria and her husband had started trying right after they got married. By the time she revealed her pregnancy, Gracie's period was about a month late.
She ended up going over Victoria's house and taking a pregnancy test just in case, only to find out that she was pregnant, too. "We were just in very different parts of our lives when everything happened," she said. "But I … it was so awesome to have her going through the same thing because we physically were like two days apart on everything."

"It was really cool to see how differently our bodies changed and how, like, I don't know, just we both carried very differently," she continued. "We got to roll the babies down to each other … and they got to meet each other in the hospital, too." Victoria added, "I definitely think it was meant to be."
