Twins Born In Different Years To Mom Maria Rios

Maria Rios, 39, welcomed twins into the world over two years. Rios’ due date was originally January 27, 2018 but she then was scheduled for a earlier C-section on January 10.

On December 31, 2017 at 11:58 p.m., Rios delivered the first of her twins, a boy named Joaquin Jr. Ontiveros, making him the last baby to be born in 2017 in Kern County.

Then at 12:16 a.m., Rios then delivered the second of her twins into the world. She welcomed a baby girl named Aitana de Jesus Ontiveros. The baby girl became the first baby to be welcomed to be born in 2018 in Kern County.

Because of the rare timing of their birth, the twins are separated by 18 minutes on the clock, but a are born in a different year on the calendar.

Hospital officials from the Delano Regional Medical Center shared the news on Facebook, writing in a post that they are “honored to play a significant role in this 2018 New Year delivery of baby twins.”

The doctor who lead the delivery of the twins, Seyed Tamjidi, said, “I’ve been in the practice for almost 30 plus years. I’ve never had the opportunity to do anything like that before.”

The tradition at Delano Regional Medical Center is that the first baby of the year receives many gifts. Because of the early date of the delivery of her twins, Rios was particularly pleased with the gifts because she was not ready for them at home. The baby daughter received over $3,000 in brand new baby supplies.
