Mariah and Chris Jones-Elliot were very excited when they found out they were expecting twin girls. They already had a grown son and daughter who were also looking forward to having two baby sisters at once.
The couple had thought of names for the girls beforehand – Amy and Katie. The twins were supposed to be born in September, but things did not happen as planned. At the end of May, being 24 weeks pregnant, Maria felt that she was going to become a mom.
She went to the nearest clinic and on June 1 she gave birth to daughter Amy.Being born early, the baby felt quite normal, considering the fact that her weight was only 540 grams. Her sister, on the other hand, was in no hurry to give birth. Thanks to the peculiarities of her mother’s body, she was able to stay waiting for her due date further.
Mariah didn’t give birth to Katie until August 27, 2012, 87 days after her twin sister was born. Katie weighed 2,550 grams and was about 44 centimeters tall.The twins were allowed to go home at almost the same time. By that time, Amy had gained significantly in weight, but was still noticeably smaller than her sister.
The girls, born almost 3 months apart, immediately drew the attention of the media. They also set a new world record, which recorded the representatives of the Guinness Book of Records.Despite the fact that Amy and Katie – twins, they have two birthdays. And in each of them both girls receive congratulations and gifts.
By the year Amy has almost caught up with her little sister in development. The twins became very similar to each other externally, but the characters of the girls manifested themselves completely different.Amy is now 9 years old, but in a month and a half she will celebrate her 10th birthday. But Katie will have to wait for her birthday until August.
The twin girls love learning and are happy to go to school. They are very friendly and help each other in everything.Amy and Cathy are very similar, so teachers and classmates often confuse them. But parents can easily find many differences among their daughters, who were born 87 days apart.
