Nancy Drambarean and her husband, Devin, not only celebrated the birth of the nation Wednesday, they celebrated the birth of their new daughter, Olivia.

        And the birth of their other child, 2-year-old Julianna Rose.

        That's right: One holiday, two daughters, one birth date — only two years apart.

        “I look at them as sort of twins separated by birth,” Mrs. Drambarean said Wednesday, about 12 hours after the 4:17 a.m. delivery.

        Mrs. Drambarean said she didn't plan her daughters' births to coincide with Independence Day or each other's. It just happened. But she sees practical advantages to the outcome.

        “One huge party, lots of screaming little girls, only one cleanup,” she says.

        Having two daughters who share birthdays with the country is appropriate for a woman who majored in political science.

        The Mount Lookout woman, who graduated from the University of California-Los Angeles in 1981, also interned on Capitol Hill in 1979.

        “If there's someone who's going to have two babies on July Fourth, it would be me,” she says.

        Both Olivia and Julianna were conceived after Mrs. Drambarean took fertility drugs to increase the chances of conception.

        When Mrs. Drambarean tells her doctor that her daughters share the same birthday, she'll have one thing to say to him:

        “Put that in your fertility journal.”
