These are photos of twins born at Texas Children's Hospital in April.

Doctors say the twins weighed three pounds, seven ounces each and were delivered by Cesarean section at just 31 weeks.

Now, nearly five months later, the twins weigh over 10 pounds each. Doctors say they are doing well but are still on some form of support for breathing.

Plans for surgical separation are still being discussed.
