The staggered birth of these two babies has created an astonishing situation. One was born in 2021 and the other in 2022.
This American couple has just experienced a special birth. Fatima Madrigal and Robert Trujillo, a couple from California, were able to welcome their two babies for the end of 2021. A way to end this year on a high note. Especially since they had no idea that they would have a first child in 2021 and a second in 2022. The two twins were in the same womb but their birth experienced a delay of 15 minutes, which administratively upset the declaration of the birth of the two children.
The couple first gave birth to their son Alfredo, born on December 31, 2021 at 11:45 p.m. He was followed by his sister Aylin, who was born on January 1, 2022 at midnight. A simple story of the hour and the passage to the following year created this unusual situation. The two twins will not officially have the same date of birth.
Two birthdays for twins
The mother of twins is still surprised to have twins born in different years. “It’s crazy to me that they are twins and have different birthdays. I was very surprised and happy that Aylin arrived at midnight ”, she confided in A press release published by the clinic where she gave birth. The twins are symbolically the bond which unites these two years, of which the parents will keep a memorable memory.
The twins also became the last babies to be born in 2021 and the first to arrive in 2022 at Natividad Medical Center. The health facility was very happy to attend this event. Staff even shared a post on the hospital’s official Instagram account.
Doctor Ana Abril Arias, who assisted the mother during the birth, confides that “It was an absolute pleasure to help these little ones arrive safe and sound in 2021 and 2022. What an amazing way to start the new year!” The couple who already have three children can’t wait to introduce the twins to their brother and two sisters. The eldest son of Fatima and Alfredo is “Very excited” to meet her new baby brother, according to the mother.
Parents should therefore plan two birthdays for their twins. No jealousy around the birthday cake or gifts, everyone will have their special day.
