When the Mirabals twins went into the operating room at 5 a.m., their parents didn't know if they would be getting both baby boys back. 

Connor and Carter were twins, but some parts of their bodies were together. Before the operation, their parents and some nurses kissed them for good luck. It took 12 hours and a team of more than a dozen doctors and nurses from several hospitals to separate them, and they made it. 

When the news came, the waiting room full of friends and family were excited into tears. 

Dr Robie said the boys spent their first five months of life in the hospital, and that Connor would sleep with his right arm above Carter's head. Now, they're back in different rooms, they'll stay in the rooms for about one month. "Sooner or later, they'd hear one another and know they're not that far apart, "Robie said.

"This will be a nice story for them. They'll just hear stories from their parents and grandmas about what happened when they came to this world." Robie said.
