Chris Blydell and Justin Stanizzi played shortstop and third base, respectively, on the Framingham baseball team. The two played for the Framingham Rams just over a decade ago, but their paths crossed in a big way over the last several months.
Both Chris and Justin Were Expecting Twins
Chris and Justin learned through social media that they were both expecting twins. They connected, and their wives, Michela and Allison, also became excited about their shared journey toward parenthood.
Michela said, "We shared the same doctor who said she was pretty sure we would both go a little bit earlier, but we made it all the way to 38 weeks and delivered on the same day. It was incredibly crazy."
Moms Michela and Allison not only delivered all four babies on July 21, 2024, they also delivered their precious twins at the same hospital-Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Massachusetts. According to NBC Boston, all four were born less than two hours apart!
There Are So Many Crazy Coincidences
The crazy coincidences don't stop there, though! In both cases, the girls were born first, and the baby boys were born second. The parents report that both girls are "feisty" at nap time and bedtime, while their boys are content to eat and nap. Both couples celebrate wedding anniversaries in April, just four days apart. How fun is that!
Justin shared with a laugh, "We were kind of hanging out in the hallway-all of us-and people were kind of yelling at us in the hall being like, ‘You can't just stand out in the hallway holding the babies.' It's really cool to be able to relate to somebody who is going through something very similar."
Framingham State University shared the story of their graduates on their school website. Per the school's website, Justin and Allison, parents of Sloane and Salvatore, and Chris and Michela, Mom and Dad to Reece and Brooks, look forward to sharing trips to the beach each year on the twins' birthday!
Best wishes to the Blydell and Stanizzi families!
