Los Angeles : A pair of twins in San Diego are getting worldwide
attention because, though born just minutes apart, one has a birthday in
2015 and one in 2016.
Maribel Valencia, of San Diego, California made it to a local hospital
on Thursday just in time to give birth to a baby girl - Jaelyn - in
the final seconds of 2015.
Jaelyn's brother Luis was born about two minutes into 2016, local media reported.
" We were actually watching the clock, " the pleased father - also named Luis - told the local NBC television station.
The father called it a New Year's blessing to have two healthy children.
The babies were due at the end of January, but doctors at San Diego
Kaiser Permanente Zion Medical Center called the mother in because one
was in a breech position. AFP
