A little over six months ago, one proud Florida mom gave birth to a pair of twins who are believed to be 1 in 2 million of a kind.

Jacksonville native Savannah Ackerman, together with her babies, successfully endured a high-risk pregnancy, after which she gave birth to Kennadi Rue and Mckenli Ackerman, who were diagnosed as mono-di twins, meaning they had their own sacs and are identical, having shared the same placenta.
