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.com. “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
ABC
News.com. “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.
