Twins born at Virtua Voorhees Hospital in Voorhees Township over New Year’s weekend arrived on different days and even different years, adding a unique twist to their birth story.
Ezra and Ezekial, the twin boys, made their entrance into the world just hours apart, with Ezra being born at 11:48 p.m. on December 31, 2023. He weighed 6 pounds and measured 18¾ inches long. His twin brother, Ezekial, followed closely, arriving at 12:28 a.m. on January 1, 2024. Ezekial weighed 4 pounds and measured 17¼ inches long. This meant that while both boys share a birthday weekend, they were technically born on different days and years.
The arrival of the twins adds to a special family tradition. Their parents, Eve and Billy, have another son who will be turning three years old on January 3. The family’s connection to significant dates doesn’t stop there; Billy, the father, was also born on New Year’s Eve, making it a festive time of year for the family. Ezra now shares his birthday with his father, creating a unique bond between them.
The family lives in Merchantville, New Jersey, and Virtua Voorhees Hospital proudly shared a photo of the beaming parents holding their newborns. The hospital’s announcement captured the joy and excitement surrounding the twins’ arrival, highlighting the special nature of their birth during the holiday season.
