On Saturday, Abby and Brittany shared an edited video on TikTok that was filled with the snaps obtained exclusively by The U.S. Sun.
The clip blasted Nuthin’ But A G’thang by Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg and included pictures of them grabbing the car seat from the back of their black Tesla and walking through a parking lot.
In the caption, the twins wrote, “Blessed” alongside the hashtags “sisterhood” and “respect.”
Last month, the twins were captured walking into the New Brighton, Minnesota, school where they work as fifth-grade teachers to proudly show off the newborn to friends.
This latest sighting came one month after they were first seen with a carriage, sparking rumors that they welcomed a child with Abby’s US Army veteran husband Josh Bowling.
Abby and Brittany rolled through a McDonald’s drive-thru to get a bite to eat before visiting friends at school.
They were seen wearing a purple, white, and leopard-print tank top with jean shorts, black sandals, and their hair down.
The twins were inside the school with the baby for about 30 minutes before they came back outside.
A co-worker walked them out, and they all shared a hug before getting back into their Tesla and riding away.
An eyewitness who spoke with The U.S. Sun at the time said, “They looked extremely tired during the visit, but they seemed happy to see their colleagues.
“They struggled at times with the carrier.”
After leaving the school, the twins returned to their $510,000 five-bedroom, four-bathroom home in Saint Paul.
The twins haven’t confirmed whether the newborn they’re carrying is theirs.
The U.S. Sun has reached out to them and Josh for comment.

LOVE STORY
Abby and Josh have been married since 2021, but their union wasn’t made public until 2024.
In June of last year, the twins posted a TikTok of them dancing alongside Josh on their wedding day to Rolling in the Deep by Adele.
They haven’t spoken publicly about their relationship, but appeared to address critics in another social media post.
In the TikTok, an A.I.-generated voice narrated, “This is a message to all the haters out there.
“If you don’t like what I do, but you watch everything that I’m doing you’re still a fan.”
Josh has a daughter from his previous marriage who was seen celebrating with the couple in videos of their wedding.
What Are Conjoined Twins?
Conjoined twins are twins that are born with their bodies physically connected.
Such twins develop after an early embryo only partially separates to create two individual fetuses and this is usually diagnosed early in pregnancy with a prenatal ultrasound.
This happens once in every 50,000 to 60,000 births according to the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
The majority of these are female and most are still born.
The majority of conjoined twins are connected at the chest and abdomen, but others can be connected at the head, hips, pelvis, legs, or genitalia.
Conjoined twins often share one or more of the internal organs and this impacts survival rates and the success of separation surgery.
Twins with separate sets of organs are more likely to survive than those who share.
RISE TO FAME
Abby and Brittany were launched into stardom after they appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 1996 when they were just six years old.
They eventually had their own TLC reality show Abby & Brittney which ran for one season in 2012.
The twins have a rare condition called dicephalic parapagus, which occurs when an early embryo partially separates to create two individual fetuses.
The rare condition has left Abby and Brittney with their own heads, minds, brains, and other body parts, all while being joined at the chest.
Conjoined twins occur once in every 50,000 to 60,000 births, but most of the babies are stillborn.
Brittney and Abby have separate consciousness, but they can instinctively move together as if they were coordinated by one person.
They earned degrees in Education and are able to teach and drive like normal.
