Dwarf Twins Born to Dwarf Parents
Dwarf twin boys have been born to a dwarf couple in what Methodist Hospital officials say is an extremely rare occurrence.
The twins were born Thursday by Caesarean section to Suzanne and Joseph Was of Helotes, Tex. “We’re the happiest parents in the world. I’m proud the kids are dwarfs,” said Was, manager of a convenience store.
Joseph Michael weighed 6 pounds, 1 ounce at birth, and Jacob William weighed 4 pounds, 14.5 ounces. Doctors were able to tell the twins are dwarfs by the size of their heads, which are larger than the rest of their bodies.
