Palatka siblings born on same day a year apart

A Palatka mom gave birth to her second child at Flagler Hospital this month, exactly a year after she gave birth to her son at the same hospital.

Gabi was born on Aug. 17. She weighed 7 pounds and 4 ounces and was 20 inches long, the exact birth weight and length as her brother Kayson.

Katie Burkes said they give the term Irish twins a whole new meaning. She and her husband think the two even look identical.

She said her doctor, midwife and nurses were shocked that their birthdays and birth weight and length were the same.

"They said it is definitely not something you see on a regular basis," Burkes said.

Mom and baby are both doing great, Burkes said.
