A pair of US twins who were born just minutes apart will
forever have their birthdays in different years.
Jaelyn Valencia was born at 11:59pm on 31 December 2015 and
her brother, Luis, was born at 12:02am on 1 January 2016 at a hospital in San
Diego, California.
This means that although they are the same age - Jaelyn will
be born a year earlier than her little brother.
The twins’ father, also called Luis, told NBC San Diego: "We were actually
watching the clock. We wanted to see if we were one of the first ones".
The US Navy diesel mechanic said his wife had wanted them to
be born on the same day to avoid conflict over birthdays later on.

“So it means two birthday parties, back to back”, he said.
The twins - who were originally scheduled to arrive on 6
January - were 18.5 inches long.
