Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer on twins' premature birth

". . . [The twins] had a tough start," said Stephen (according to UsMagazine.com). "They were early and it was touch and go there for a while, and so anything is amazing. I was just saying they are spitting up their first solid food. It's fantastic."

"Sometimes you cope with it very well and sometimes you don't," he continued. "And sometimes you wake up and you're desperately terrified, you're so tired you can't [do] anything, so you just get through it like anyone else."

Though the twins, now one, are doing well, Stephen says they still have some issues. "There's still things every now and then," he said, "but they're pretty great."

And, like all one-year-olds, Stephen assured reporters the twins are "nuts"! And, while Anna's eager for them to start walking, Stephen, who's also dad to Lilac, 11, and Billy, 13, knows better. "Just wait," he tells her. "Our lives are over once that happens!" Ha!

It's rare that this very private couple opens up. It's no wonder they were silent for so long after the birth of their babies. We wish them well.
