A Colorado mother who gave birth to twins found out her nurses have the same names that she chose for her babies

• A Colorado mother was surprised to find out the names of the nurses who helped deliver her twin babies.
• Lauren Meehan discovered the nurses had the same names as those she chose for her daughters.

A Colorado mother who delivered two twin babies earlier this month learned that two nurses that helped deliver her babies have the same names that she chose for them.

Lauren Meehan said that two teams of doctors and nurses helped her deliver her babies at the Rose Medical Center in Denver, Colorado due to the heightened risk of delivering twins, KUSA reported. Meehan is also a cauterization lab director at the hospital, according to KDVR.

Meehan told TODAY that the nurses tending to her acknowledged that she was going through an overwhelming experience and asked her if she had any names in mind for her babies to keep the conversation going as a distraction.

When she answered that she loved the names Emma and Julia, the room "broke out in laughter," she said.

The two nurses that would be helping to deliver Meehan's babies were also named Emma and Julia.

"At that moment, in all the chaos, we were able to stop for a second and enjoy that moment knowing that those names were meant to be," Meehan told TODAY.

Meehan said that she looks forward to telling her children the story one day.

"Those two nurses will always be special to us and the entire team that took care of us that day with hold a special place in our hearts. It will be a funny story to tell our girls," she told TODAY.
