Twins Born 2 Months Apart

DENVER (CBS4) ― A baby boy was born late last Friday night at Presbyterian/St. Luke's Medical Center in Denver, about 2 months after his twin brother was born. Adam Rugg was born in May because of an infection in the womb.

Doctors used a process called delayed interval delivery to keep Jayson Rugg in his mother's womb a couple months longer until Friday night.

The twins' weight is only a few ounces apart. The babies mother and father told CBS4 that Jayson is much fuller than his older twin.

"Nine and a half weeks they haven't been together," Darren Rugg, the twins' father said. "Hopefully they get along."

Both babies were healthy over the weekend. The parents were hoping to get the boys back to together on Monday.

The Ruggs told CBS4 the twins' actual due date was Aug. 19.
