Two years ago, twins Jenna and Jillian Thistlethwaite captured hearts across the country when a photo showing them holding hands right after being born 48 seconds apart went viral. While they were only just starting their lives, they were already forming the most special bond.

It should come as no surprise that these sisters, who currently live in Orrville, Ohio, still can't stand the thought of being separated. In fact, they're still being photographed side-by-side!

Perhaps one of the reasons Jenna and Jillian are so close is because they were rare "monoamniotic twins," meaning that they shared an amniotic sac instead of each baby having her own. Dr. Mancuso, who delivered the twins at Akron Children's Hospital, told PEOPLE that their mother Sarah Thistlethwaite​ had to spend 57 days on bed rest before having a C-section because this condition is usually associated with complications such as the fetuses becoming entangled in each other's umbilical cords.

"All I wanted to do was hear them cry," Sarah told TODAY. "There was still a high percentage we could have a stillbirth so I remember thinking, 'Let them cry. Let them cry. Why isn't she crying?'"

That's when Sarah, whose view was blocked by a curtain, realized that something amazing was happening.

"I heard Dr. Wolfe say, 'Oh my gosh, they're holding hands,' and then Dr. Manacuso was like, 'Hold them up so mom can see them'" said Sarah. "I couldn't believe they were holding hands. That was amazing. It was beautiful."

After their amazing birth, the girls have gone on to become rambunctious toddlers side-by-side. Sarah says that they look so much alike, but if there's one person who can tell them apart, it's their 3-year-old brother Jaxton.

"All three are very, very close but the girls have just this unexplainable bond,"Sarah told TODAY. "Honestly, splitting them up, or doing anything with those two separately will make them cry. They don't want to be away from each other."
