Why is it amazing that 22-year-old Maribel Valencia gave birth to twins that were born just two minutes apart?

Because they were one year and two minutes apart, according to scienceworldreport.

Jaelyn Valencia has the advantage of a year. She was born at 11:59 p.m. on New Year's Eve said Associated Press.

Then, the following year, two minutes later, twin-brother Luis Valencia Jr., arrived on New Year's Day.

Both babies were due to arrive at the end of January. But doctors at San Diego Kaiser Permanente Zio Medical Center decided to deliver the babies because one of them was in a breech position.

"It's pretty much the best of both worlds," father Luis Valencia, said via Fox News. "So that means two birthday parties back-to-back."

Jaelyn weighs four pounds, 15 ounces while Luis is five pounds, nine ounces strong.

The babies, as well as the mother, are reported to be "happy and healthy" after the delivery, a Kaiser spokeswoman said.

The parents, from the National City, California, had plans to welcome the New Year in Los Angeles with their three-year-old daughter Isabella. But the twins wanted to be part of the celebration.

Luis Valencia said she was very happy to change their plans.
