A beaming couple have shared the beautiful moment their newborn twins were reunited in their mom's arms after birth – with one reaching out its arm to put around the other. For mom Emily Hilton, 27, from Salt Lake City, Utah, the 40 hours her two twins West and Archie were apart "felt like an eternity." The twins were born on October 28, at Intermountain Medical Center, in Murray, Utah, before West was taken straight to the NICU for checks, as he was born breech. Archie spent more of his time with Emily, who moved between floors in the hospital to breastfeed both babies. But it would be almost two days before the brothers were reunited. On October 30, Emily was given the news that West was healthy, and the pair shared some skin-to-skin time once he had left the NICU. As Archie was then brought into the room to see his sibling, Emily propped up her cellphone on a nearby table as her husband, Lance, 28, approached with his son. As soon as Archie was placed onto Emily's chest next to West, he immediately reached out an arm to put around his brother.
