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 very candidly admitted that she may have mixed up her identical daughters in the hospital shortly after their births. 

Nicole Giamundo, who welcomed her now-10-year-old twin girls Adalynn and Nora, in 2014, opened up about her lingering doubt about the true identity of the youngsters in a now-viral TikTok video - confessing that neither she or her husband know whether the girls are truly meant to have the names they currently do. 

'So, in the hospital, they give you two bassinets. They have names on them,' she said in the clip.

'You pick one up out of one, you put it in that one; you pick one up out of them again, you put it back in it,' she explained, before revealing that there came a point where she and her husband, in their sleep-deprived states, lost track of which baby went in which bassinet.

She went on to explain that she and he husband had been picking them up and putting them back into their respective, labeled bassinets - when suddenly they lost track of who was who

'At one point, I had one, my husband had one. And we looked at each other, and were like, "Who do you have?"' she recalled.  

'Because at that point we were sleep deprived. It was a lot having two babies. And so we're not entirely sure that we didn't mix them up. 

'We'll never know! They're identical! Oops!' she concluded with a shrug. 

In a subsequent video, Nicole captured one of her daughters confronting her that she'd eavesdropped on her mom saying that she and her sister had been switched at birth.

Nicole admitted to the daughter that 'we were tired, and picked guy guys up, and didn't remember which bassinet we got you out of.

'So you may very well have been Adalynn at one point, and now you're Nora.'

Nora took the news in stride, expressing relief that her name wasn't 'Addy,' emphasizing that she liked her own name.

Speaking about the moment of the mix-up to People, Nicole recalled: 'We couldn't recall which bassinet we had taken them from, and that was our way of keeping track of them.'

As she further described to the magazine, 'I immediately panicked, realizing how unprepared we truly were to have twins.'

Many slid into the comments to reassure Nicole that the mix-up didn't really matter in the grand scheme of the twins' lives

While the girls had hospital bracelets on, the bracelets didn't specify their first names.

While both her daughters are now aware that they were potentially switched just after birth, Nicole expressed to People in gratitude: 'They both were glad they weren’t the other which made my heart happy because that means they love who they are, and that’s the most important thing to me as a mom.'

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

'So when I recorded those videos and their reactions were, albeit funny, they gave me some peace of mind that they are who they were meant to be and they love who they are, mixed up or not.'

Thousands took 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 that it doesn't even really matter,' one pointed out. 

'i mean does it technically matter?' echoed a second.

'They are who they're meant to be,' a third chimed in, with Nicole responding: 'Yes they are!!!'

'At that point its not mixing them up its *Reassigning*,' a fourth reassured.
