Mother of identical twin girls candidly admits she may have MIXED UP her daughters at the hospital in her ‘sleep deprived’ state – as she jokes she ‘will never know’ which is really which

A mother of twins has candidly admitted that she switched her identical daughters in hospital shortly after their birth.

Nicole Giamundo, who welcomed her now 10-year-old twin girls Adalynn and Nora in 2014, opened up about her lingering doubts about the youngsters’ true identities in a now-viral TikTok video, confessing that neither she nor her husband know if it’s real the intention is that the girls will be given the names they currently bear.

‘So in the hospital you get two cribs. It has names on it,” she said in the clip.

“You take one out of one, you put it in that one; You take another one out and put it back in,” she explained, before revealing that there came a point where she and her husband, in their sleep deprivation, lost track of which baby went in which crib.

She went on to explain that she and her husband had picked them up and put them back in their respective, labeled cribs – when they suddenly lost track of who was who.

“At one point I had one, my husband had one. And we looked at each other and said, “Who do you have?” she recalled.

“Because we were sleep deprived at the time. It was a lot having two babies. And so we’re not entirely sure that we didn’t get them mixed up.

‘We will never know! They are identical! Oops!’ she concluded with a shrug.

In a subsequent video, Nicole captured one of her daughters confronting her about overhearing her mother saying that she and her sister had been switched at birth.

Nicole admitted to the daughter that “we were tired, and we picked up boys, and didn’t remember which crib we took you out of.”

“So it could very well be that you were once Adalynn, and now you’re Nora.”

Nora took the news to heart, expressing relief that her name wasn’t ‘Addy’ and emphasizing that she liked her own name.

Talk about the moment of confusion Peoplerecalls Nicole, “We couldn’t remember which crib we got them from, and that was our way of keeping an eye on them.”

As she further described to the magazine, “I immediately panicked when I realized how unprepared we really were to have twins.”

Many joined in the comments to reassure Nicole that the confusion didn’t really matter in the grand scheme of the twins’ lives.

Although the girls wore hospital bracelets, the bracelets did not list their first names.

Although both of her daughters are now aware that they may have been switched soon after birth, Nicole gratefully told People, “They were both happy that they weren’t the other, which made my heart happy because that means they love of who they are, and that’s true. the most important thing for me as a mother.’

She added her daughters’ identities to the magazine: “I want them to love who they are, I want them not to wish they were someone else.”

“So when I recorded those videos and their reactions, even though they were funny, they gave me the assurance that they are who they are meant to be and that they love who they are, mixed up or not.”

Thousands responded to the comments, with many putting the situation into perspective in the grand scheme of things in the twins’ lives.

“And the funny thing is, it doesn’t even really matter,” someone commented.

“I mean, does it technically matter?” repeated for a second.

“They are who they are meant to be,” a third chimed in, to which Nicole replied, “Yes they are!!!”

“At that point they weren’t mixed up, just *reassigned*,” reassured a fourth.
