LITTLE ROCK — Congressman Vic Snyer, D-Little Rock, says the triplets that his wife Rev. Betsy Singleton delivered on December 9 are home safe.
Aubrey, Wyatt and Sullivan weighed 3 pounds, 15 ounces; 4 pounds, 10 ounces; and 4 pounds, 15 ounces, respectively, at the time of their birth, and have been home since Monday, says Snyder.
Snyder reported the triplets were delivered on the morning of December 9 by Caesarian section and were expected to remain in the hospital for about three weeks, but stayed nearly five weeks before going home.
The triplets join their brother, the Snyders’ 2-year-old son, Charles Pennington “Penn” Snyder.
Snyder and his wife announced June 29 they were expecting triplets.
“Yes, we did say triplets,” Snyder said in a news release.
Singleton is pastor of the Quapaw Quarter United Methodist Church in Little Rock.
Multiple births aren’t new to the state’s congressional delegation.
Arkansas’ senior senator, Blanche Lincoln, has 12-year-old twin boys.
Lincoln offered this advice to Snyder and his wife:
“Whenever anyone offers to help, take them up on it,” she said, and “Make sure each child always has their own birthday cake.”
