California twins born just 15 minutes apart, but in different years

[rpannier]

Two fraternal twins in California were born just 15 minutes apart, yet their birthdays fall on different days, in different months and years.

Alfredo Trujillo was born on December 31, 2021 at 11:45 p.m., the Natividad Medical Center announced Sunday. His twin sister, Aylin Trujillo, was born 15 minutes later — right at midnight on January 1, 2022.

"It's crazy to me that they are twins and have different birthdays," their mother, Fatima Madrigal, said, according to the hospital. "I was surprised and happy that she arrived at midnight."

Aylin Trujillo was also the first baby to be born at Natividad Medical Center in 2022, the hospital said.

1. I love the mother's name -- Fatima Madrigal.

Congratulations to the family.

2. It's nice they will each have their own birthday. They will share so much else.

3. Yeah, but given they are fraternal twins, quite possibly not so much.

4. I have heard of this happening before

Unusual perhaps but it happens
