"This is something that you can't plan. This is something God set in motion and you just roll with the punches," said Martin.

"To have my mom going through it with me is actually like probably the most special, amazing thing ever," said Penticoff.

The babies were born about three hours apart.

Family members say it's like having twins in the family.
