For Kali and Cliff Scott, welcoming twins was a dream come true. However, the arrival of their daughters, Annie and Effie, unfolded in an extraordinary way.

The couple was ecstatic to prepare for their twins, despite knowing the challenges that come with parenthood times two. However, fate had other plans. Their little bundles of joy decided to make a surprise entrance a week and a half earlier than expected.

While the early arrival was unexpected, what truly made this birth unique was the timing. Annie Jo entered the world at 11:55 pm on New Year’s Eve, becoming the last baby born at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Denton for 2022. Just minutes later, Effie Rose joined the party at 12:01 am, officially becoming the hospital’s first baby of 2023.

Kali, the proud mom, couldn’t contain her delight. “I think it’s hilarious and super fun,” she shared. This unconventional arrival brought joy not only to the family but also to the medical staff present, who witnessed both the birth and the start of a new year.

The story went viral, and Kali admitted they’d joked about the possibility of the babies arriving around the holiday. “It turned out to be more of a possibility than we realized,” she said.

With their unique birthdays, Annie and Effie are already guaranteed to be one-of-a-kind individuals. “We always want to make sure they have their own personalities and know they are special,” Kali says. While many parents of twins face the challenge of fostering unique identities, for Kali and Cliff, this twist of fate provides a natural starting point for their daughters to celebrate their individuality.

The story of Annie and Effie has warmed hearts around the world. Their parents, Kali and Cliff, are excited to share this incredible journey and introduce their daughters, Annie Jo and Effie Rose Scott!
