Sisters Nikki and Emma Rotheram were both brought into Liverpool Women’s Hospital on the same day and had babies Libby and Luke in rooms next to each other, just hours apart. Nikki was due on the 14th and Emma on the 17th February. Luke weighed in at 7lb 10oz and Libby at 6lb 10oz. The sisters said that the whole family is so happy and their mum spent all her time running between the two rooms in the hospital. Both babies are doing really well and the parents are looking forward to having all their important birthdays together in the future.
