Acting Gov. Jane Swift, who has been running the state’s government from her hospital bed since May 8, gave birth to twin girls, an aide said.
Swift, 36, gave birth to the girls by Caesarean section at Brigham and Women’s Hospital, according to her spokesman Jason Kauppi. She is the first woman in the nation’s history to give birth while serving as governor.
Lauren Alma Hunt, weighing 6 pounds, was born at 9:11 p.m. Sarah Jane Hunt, 5 pounds, 4 ounces, was delivered a minute later. Both babies were 17 1/2 inches long.
