Christmas came early this year for this couple in Alabama.
对阿拉巴马州的这对夫妇来说，今年的圣诞节来得很早。
Kelsey Hatcher and her husband Caleb just welcomed two baby girls after what doctors say was a "one in a million" pregnancy.
凯尔西·海切尔和她的丈夫凯莱布刚刚迎来了两个女儿，医生说这是“百万分之一”的怀孕机会。
What makes this birth so unusual is that Hatcher has a rare condition called "uterine didelphys", which means that she has two uteri.
这次分娩的不寻常之处在于，海切尔患有一种罕见的疾病，叫做“双子宫畸形”，也就是说她有两个子宫。
Her doctors warned her that she could experience complications if she got pregnant.
海切尔的医生警告她，如果她怀孕了，很有可能会出现并发症。
Despite that, she had three normal pregnancies, and then she got pregnant with two embryos, one in each of her uteri.
尽管如此，她还是正常怀孕了三次，然后这次她怀上了两个胚胎，每个子宫里都有一个。
"As soon as she moved the ultrasound wand over to the other side of my belly, like she didn't even have the time to say anything, I immediately said, 'Oh, my gosh! There's another one.'"
“当她把超声棒移到我肚子的另一边时，她甚至还没来得及说什么，我立刻说，‘哦，我的天哪！还有一个。’”
After 20 hours of combined labor, Hatcher gave birth to daughter Roxi last Tuesday, followed by daughter Rebel, via c-section on Wednesday.
经过20个小时的联合分娩，海切尔于上周二生下了女儿罗克西，随后于周三通过剖腹产生下了女儿勒贝尔。
"Technically by the book, are not twins, but they will just medically call them 'fraternal twins' just because they are the same gestational age."
“从书本上的定义上来说，她们不是双胞胎，但在医学上称她们为‘异卵双胞胎’，因为她们的胎龄相同。”
After the births, mom posting this update on Instagram, "Our miracle babies were born!
孩子出生后，这位妈妈在Instagram上更新了这条消息：“我们的奇迹宝宝诞生了！
They decided they were rare enough statistically that they should just go ahead and have their own birthdays too."
她们认为以自身在统计学上罕见的程度，应该也要独自拥有不同的生日。”
