Maria and Chris Jones-Elliot were thrilled when they learned they were expecting twin girls, whom they named Amy and Katie in advance. However, the twins’ birth did not go as planned. Maria gave birth to Amy prematurely at just 24 weeks of pregnancy, and Amy weighed only 540 grams. Katie, on the other hand, was in no hurry and was born 87 days later, on August 27, 2012, weighing 2550 grams.
Despite being born with a ѕіɡпіfісапt time gap, the twins сарtᴜгed the attention of journalists and set a new world record recognized by the Guinness Book of Records. Amy and Katie have two birthdays each, and by the age of one, Amy had nearly саᴜɡһt up with her younger sister in terms of development.
Now, Amy is 8 years old, and Katie is 7, and they are preparing to enter the second grade of elementary school. Despite their similarities in appearance, their characters are completely different. Their names are even written on their schoolbags to help classmates and teachers tell them apart.
This story highlights the remarkable journey of these twins born 87 days apart and the ᴜпіqᴜe bond they share.
