The men did not expect to see each other at the Virginia hospital when their sons were born.
They were all expecting their sons to be born soon, and they joked at the fire station that they would run into each other at the hospital. None of them thought it would actually happen.
Frederick and Irvine’s wives and Dean’s fiancee all had due dates a few weeks apart, but they arrived at the hospital in quick succession that day. “He missed having the same birthday by less than two hours,” said Dean, 32. “Andrea was in labor and pushing on the same day, but Colton was being stubborn. He just didn’t want to show up until he was ready.”“We all knew that we were having boys and we all knew we’d be taking paternity leave around the same time,” said Irvine, 31. “But the timing of us going to the hospital and having our kids one after another is something that played out on its own.
The Fredericks have experienced two miscarriages and lost a child to sudden infant death syndrome, “so we know the pain of something going wrong,” Frederick said. “It’s nice that we can now share a happy moment.” In the meantime, he said, he is glad that the three babies are healthy and gaining weight. And he’s also grateful that the trio set up a text message group to compare notes about concerns and milestones over the next several months as they help care for their newborns.
