Manhattan Couple Gives Birth To Twins On 11/11/11

NEW YORK (CBS 2) – Nov. 11, 2011, or 11/11/11, became a special day for one Manhattan couple for two very special reasons.

Madeline Rebecca Harrison and her twin brother Elliott William Harrison were born on Friday just after 10 a.m., but the births were no surprise for mom and dad.

They scheduled the cesarean section so their kids would have a special birth date.

"I just think there's a lot of creative outlets that we can use for their birthday parties," mom Ahna Tessler said. "You know it's like endless what you can do with 11/11/11."

"It turned out to be really wonderful and fun," dad John Harrison said.

The mom and babies are all healthy and expected to be released soon from the hospital.
