llinois couple has 1 twin in 2010, other in 2011

ROCKFORD — A Machesney Park couple welcomed a daughter in the last minutes of 2010 and a twin son in the first minutes of 2011.

The Rockford Register Star reports that Brandon Lewis and Ashley Fansler had baby girl Madisen Carin Lewis at 11:59 a.m. Friday at Rockford Memorial Hospital. Baby son Aiden Everette Lewis was born a minute later, at 12 a.m. on Saturday, New Year's Day.

The newspaper reports Fansler wasn't due until the end of January but doctors scheduled a cesarean section for Friday evening to avoid complications.

Father Brandon Lewis says one of the doctors was counting the minutes down before the births. Lewis says it was "definitely the best" New Year's countdown he's had.
