Well, the twins were born yesterday morning! To be more specific, they were born on October 1st (easy birthday to remember - Yay!) at 8:15 and 8:16 AM (babies "A" & "B" respectively). Here's how they measured up at birth:
BABY "A": 5 lbs - 0 oz (born at 8:15am)
BABY "B": 3 lbs - 5 oz (born at 8:16am)
They were born at 36 weeks, or 4 weeks premature, which puts them right on the cusp of the danger zone for preemies. The tubes you see coming from their noses are CPAP (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) tubes. They both had to use them the first day out of the womb, just to help them with their breathing. By this morning, they were disconnected from the CPAP machines and breathing on their own:
