Babies Born to Two Southwest Iowa Brothers on Same Day in November

Two southwest Iowa brothers and their wives were blessed with baby boys on the same day last month.

Dean Dallas Jensen, son of Michael and Emilee Jensen of Council Bluffs, was born at 4:21 p.m. on Nov. 29 at Methodist Jennie Edmundson Hospital. He joined his brother, Mac, who is 19 months old.

At 6:49 p.m. that day, Koe Allen Jensen, first child of Tyler and Molly Jensen of Avoca, was born just across the hall from his young cousin.

“It was like a family reunion at that end of the hall,” said Dr. Lori Platt, obstetrician-gynecologist at Jennie, who delivered Koe Allen. “I think it’s such a special birth story for these cousins.”
