Photos: Identical twins give birth on same day at exact same time in different time zones

Identical twins,Sarah Mariuz and Leah Rodgers, who are 35 year old, both gave birth to their first child early Thursday morning. The babies were born at the same exact time in each sister's respective time zone — Rodgers gave birth first, welcoming a baby boy at 1:18 a.m., in Denver, Colorado, and Mariuz's daughter was born at 1:18 a.m., in La Jolla, California.

The sisters and new moms told TODAY they're thrilled by the coincidence, if not all that surprised.

"We've always lived in separate places, but all of us — we have two sisters — are very close in age and very close," Rodgers said. "But certainly there's another connection at the twin level."
