That's great! Such wonderful news! Congratiulations to the couple!
(I was hoping they would be born in december, as twins are often born before the due date...) Well, now the 2005 royal babyboom is complete! :)

Congratulations to the couple! Seems like this was the "boy year" for the Belgians!

Will pictures be released soon as with Emmanuel or Claire and Laurent do things differently?

That's really a surprise!! I guessed that they would come sooner, but that soon ..!
I was a little bit shocked when I read they only weigh 2kg. I hope that's normal for twins.
Now I can understand why Laurent & Claire weren't present at the batism of Emmanuel :)
Congrats to the happy parents!!

That would be around 4,365 and 4,872 pounds and 17,32 and 17,91 inches (feel free to correct me, as I've used an automatic conversor)

Best wishes for the newborn boys and their parents. I am guesstimating that they weigh about 4lbs. each?
