As people around the world partied their
way into the new year, two mothers gave
birth to two of the last babies of 2013 and
two of the first babies of 2014. While born
just minutes apart, their twin babies entered
the world in two different years.
On Dec. 31, 2013, at 11:58 p.m., Yaleni
Santos Tohalino gave birth to baby girl
Lorraine Yaleni Begazo, who weighed at 6
pounds, 4.9 ounces, at MedStar Washington
Hospital Center, in Washington, D.C.
Soon after, her twin brother Brandon
Ferdinando Begazo was born on Jan. 1,
2014, at 12:01 a.m., weighing at 5 pounds,
10.4 ounces.
“I feel wonderful full of joy and happiness
and a full sense of realization,” the twins’
father, Warren Begazo, told ABCNews. “This
is her first children ever, and they’re
beautiful and she’s really happy.”
In Toronto, two fraternal twin sisters were
also born in 2013 and in 2014, respectively.
At Trillium Health Partners-Credit Valley
Hospital, older sister Gabriela Salgueiro was
born on Dec. 31, 2013, at 11:52 p.m.,
weighing 6 pounds, 16 ounces.
On Jan. 1, 2014, at 12:00:38 a.m., younger
twin Sophia Salgueiro was born, weighing 5
pounds, 13 ounces.
“They kind of got that golden ticket. They’ve
got different birthdays,” the twins’ mother,
Lindsay Salgueiro, told ABCNews “They’re
going to be best friends for life.”
“We really did celebrate New Year’s Eve,”
Begazo said.
“Not a bad way to end the year and not a
bad a way to start the year off,” said
Salgueiro.
Both the mothers and babies are healthy
and looking forward to going home.
