Mum gives birth to twins but can't believe how different they look months later
A mum from Pennsylvania, in the US gave birth to twins and couldn't believe how different they looked four months later. Twins can have noticeable differences in their physical appearance A mum from America gave birth to twins and was shocked at how different they looked months later. Jacqueline Zamores, from Pennsylvania, shared a short video on TikTok showing the difference in appearance between her babies. She gave some context to the clip by adding the funny on-screen text: 'When the twins aren't twinning.' Cristian, named after his dad, stands out with his blonde hair and blue eyes. His sister, Cecilia, looks quite different, with deeper-toned hair and complexion. Jacqueline, 27-years-old, told Newsweek that she and her husband Cristian, 32-years-old, first started seeing the difference in skin colour when the twins were born. The Pennsylvania mum said: 'Two to three weeks later, while they were still in NICU (Neonatal Intensive Care Unit), we noticed Cristian had bluish eyes.' Both parents are of Mexican American heritage, with relatives living in the states of Jalisco and Michoacán. Jacqueline added: 'Genetically, we believe they are both a mixture of us, although Cristian shares more of our receive genes compared to Cecilia.' Before she had the twins, Jacqueline was already a mum to two daughters. She has embraced becoming a mum to twins and found lots of joy in this. The now mum-of-four told Newsweek: 'We have double the smiles, double the snuggles and double the love. 'With having already two other children, adding more into the mix was definitely a big change. 'Keeping everyone to a schedule is key, so our home can function properly and not add too much stress on ourselves.' The TikTok clip has gone viral with millions of views, likes and thousands of comments. Some people shared similar experiences. One user revealed: 'This is my twin and I!! Me: male, light brown hair, green eyes, light complexion. 'Her: female, dark brown hair, brown eyes, darker skin complexion. I look more like my older sister (born 10 months before me, all 3 of us in the same year!) so everyone assumed my older sister and I were the twins.' Another added: 'My fraternal twins are a blonde hair blue eyed boy and a pale brown eyed boy with dark hair!' A third commented: 'One of my twins had super curly hair and blue eyes, the other has straight dark hair and brown eyes that look black, my twins aren't twinnin[g] either lol.' Twins can be identical, also known as monozygotic, or non-identical, also known as dizygotic or fraternal. The charity Twins Trust has given some more information. It explains that identical twins have exactly the same DNA and are always the same gender. Because they share all of their genes, they usually have a very similar appearance and many matching physical characteristics. Non-identical twins share roughly half of their genetic makeup, similar to regular siblings. They can be either the same gender or different genders, and they generally don't resemble each other any more than typical brothers or sisters do.

Connie Francis, 'Pretty Little Baby' singer, dead at 87
Connie Francis, known for musical hits such as "Everybody's Somebody's Fool" and "Pretty Little Baby," has died. She was 87. Ron Roberts, the president of Francis' record label Concetta Records, first shared the news on the artist's official Facebook page on Thursday. "It is with a heavy heart and extreme sadness that I inform you of the passing of my dear friend Connie Francis last night." "I know that Connie would approve that her fans are among the first to learn of this sad news. More details will follow later," the message concluded. Earlier this month, Francis revealed she had been hospitalized for "extreme pain." "I am back in hospital where I have been undergoing tests and checks to determine the cause(s) of the extreme pain I have been experiencing," she wrote on Facebook. "I am pleased to advise that following a series of tests and examinations in Intensive Care, I have now been transferred to a private room." Two days later, she informed her fans that she was "feeling much better after a good night," Her last post was on July 4. "We were expecting it, unfortunately … they couldn't locate where the pain was exactly," Roberts, who said Francis was experiencing trouble with her hip, told People of her death. "It's been two months of the most extreme high then the most extreme low," he said. Roberts told the outlet that Francis began to "deteriorate" after leaving the hospital earlier this month and was "unconscious" for at least two days before she died. "She slipped away peacefully," he said. Francis, who first found fame and success in the 1950s, was best known for hit singles such as "My Heart Has A Mind Of Its Own," "Where the Boys Are," "Don't Break The Heart That Loves You" and more. In 2018, Francis opened up about the story behind one of her biggest hits, "Who's Sorry Now?". "My father wanted me to record that song for a year and a half and I turned him down," she told Fox News Digital. "It was a square song, it was written during the 1920s, and the kids on 'American Bandstand' would laugh me right out of the show. He said, 'If you don't sing this song, sister, the only way you'll get on 'American Bandstand' is if you sit on top of the television set.' So I did it as the last song." "I stretched the other songs before I got to 'Who's Sorry Now' so there wouldn't be time," she continued. "But there were 16 minutes left. My father said, 'If I have to nail you to that microphone, you're gonna do "Who's Sorry Now."' So I did it. I didn't like it… I remember that record had been out for three months and it went nowhere... But Dick Clark liked it… It was a cosmic moment for me. It's a moment I'll never forget. Because I knew in five seconds my life would never be the same. And it wasn't. It was a happy shock." Francis faced a number of personal challenges throughout her life, including a suicide attempt in 1984, surviving rape in 1974 and family turmoil. "To make a short story long, in the '80s, I was involuntarily committed to mental institutions 17 times in nine years in five different states," she told the Village Voice in 2011. "I was misdiagnosed as bipolar, ADD, ADHD, and a few other letters the scientific community had never heard of. A few years later, I was discovered to have had post-traumatic stress disorder following a horrendous string of events in my life." Francis was married four times and is survived by a son, Joseph Garzilli Jr.

New mother donates 3 ltrs of breast milk to Milk Bank
Anantapur: In an inspiring act of maternal generosity, a mother from Anantapur has donated three litres of breast milk to the Anantha Mothers' Milk Bank, drawing heartfelt appreciation from government hospital officials and healthcare staff. Dr Gujjula Hemalatha, Resident Medical Officer (RMO) at the Government General Hospital (GGH), Anantapur, lauded the noble gesture, calling it a record donation to the milk bank so far. 'Mother's milk is equal to nectar for a newborn, and many mothers who cannot breastfeed are in distress. Triveni, the mother who made this donation, deserves immense respect,' said Dr. Hemalatha. Triveni, wife of Mallikarjuna from Rayadurgam, gave birth to a baby boy on June 24 through a normal delivery at the government hospital. As the baby was born prematurely in the seventh month, with low birth weight, he was admitted to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Despite her own challenges, Triveni continued to breastfeed her child and generously donated excess milk to help other infants in need. Dr Hemalatha remarked, 'Her decision to help ensure the health of other babies as well reflects a true mother's heart. We are indebted to such selflessness.' In recognition of her generosity, Triveni was honoured in a traditional 'Puttinti Sare' (ceremonial gifting) by the hospital. The felicitation ceremony was attended by nutritionist Sai Pallavi, counsellor Radha, staff nurses Sunitha and Parveen (SNCU), and security guard Saroj, among others. This act stands as a shining example of how one mother's compassion can nurture many lives.
