Barbara Bush was supposed to give birth to her first child in New York City, but it turned out her baby daughter was delivered in a place that was meant to be.

Bush's twin sister, Jenna Bush Hager, shared on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna Thursday that after Barbara's water broke six weeks early, she gave birth to her daughter, Cora Georgia Coyne, at the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital in Portland, Maine, on Monday. . . .

Barbara and her husband, Craig Coyne, had planned on having their first child at a New York City hospital, but baby Cora had other plans while they were staying at the family's longtime home in Kennebunkport, Maine.  . . .

Jenna, who has three children of her own, also described the moment she found out the baby was coming early.

"I woke up to a text message on Monday morning," she said. "I burst into tears, I was frantic, I woke up (husband) Henry (Hager). He was like, 'What?' I’m like, ‘She’s in labor!'"

Cora's middle name of Georgia is a tribute to their father, former President George W. Bush, who helped calm Jenna down after she found out that Barbara was in labor.

"One of the things that I think is so cool about my parents is all my dad wrote back to the text: 'God is good,'" Jenna said. "And it all of a sudden calmed me. I was kind of frantic. I was nervous." . . .
