Tashina gave birth to Ivory Mae Cushing just before 9 a.m. on Friday, while sister Erica gave birth to Keiran Leighton Carter three hours later.
The twins, who turn 22 this week, found out they were pregnant on the same day. They gave their mom the good news on the same day as well, with Erica going first.
