Mrs. Hicks was four days past her expected delivery date, and she, too, had no reservations about what a cold, snowy Friday the 13th might bring. Baby Laura Ann Snyder weighted in at eight pounds, and measured 20% inches. She has two sisters, Amy, eight, and Becky, six, and a brother, Barry Jr., two and one- half. Baby Kateyln Elizabeth Hicks weighted in at seven pounds, one ounce, and measured--more coinci- dence--20 % inches. She has a sister, Kristen, age three and one-half.
