Laura Cirioli gave birth to twins early Sunday morning. Her son Peter ("Baby A") was born first at 1:32 a.m. Thirty-fourt minutes later, Allison ("Baby B") was born. As with all multiple births, the first to be born is considered the oldest, but not in this case.
Because of Daylight Saving Time, Allison's time of birth was 1:06 a.m., which makes her 26 minutes older than her brother even though he was born first.
“We just never even thought about it until after he was born and then we realized it was going to happen. It was really kind of amazing,” Laura Cirioli said.
The proud mother and father said they don't really care who was born first, they are just glad to have two healthy babies. They do suspect the daylight savings predicament will be fodder for sibling rivalry.
“We'll let them work that out between themselves. I don't want to get into the middle of it,” Jason Cirioli said.
