Twins born in the US in different years
When Kali Jo Scott, 37, from Denton, Texas, booked her January 11 caesarean section, she anticipated having twins in 2023. However, following a visit on December 29, she was admitted to the hospital to keep a check on her blood pressure.
On December 31 at 11:55 p.m., she gave birth to Annie Jo, her first child. Effie Rose, Annie Jo’s sister, was born at 12:01 a.m. on January 1 five minutes later.
Scott checked into the hospital several weeks prior to her due date so that physicians could check her blood pressure. The fraternal twins were supposed to be delivered via C-section on January 11 instead. On December 31, late at night, the medical staff of the Texas hospital decided to proceed with the C-section early.
Mother thinks that twins will get to have ‘individuality’

According to Kali, who spoke on Good Morning America, she loved the unique aspect that they get to go forward with a little bit of individualism right out of the gates.
She said, “We had joked at that point, once we realized that we weren’t going to leave the hospital without babies, that wouldn’t it be funny. We had a couple friends who said the same thing, and then it ended up happening that way.”
The mother explained how they would be commemorating each daughter’s birthday going forward. She had been considering how customary one birthday would be, but suddenly there are actually two completely separate birthdays.
One will get to ring in the new year on New Year’s Eve while the other will get to do it on New Year’s Day.
The mother finds it to be amusing and a lot of fun.
