HARTFORD, Connecticut, January 04, 2008 (NBC) -- A Connecticut woman and her newborn twins are doing fine despite their unusual birth.

On Wednesday, Larryette Thomas, unexpectedly gave birth with one of the tiny boys born inside her pants.

Thomas wasn’t due until February but she says she started to feel contractions around 3 o’clock Wednesday morning.

That’s when her concerned mother called 911 for help. But just as medics arrived one of the children landed in his mother’s pants.

Thomas said, "One pant leg was on and the other wasn’t and he just came right down and firefighters had to cut my pants to take the baby out."

Rescue crews delivered the second child a few minutes later using flashlights since there were no lights in the house.

Mom and newborns Kurt and Kurtis are reportedly doing fine.

I know twin girls named Johnah and Shanah. It is difficult to tell which one people are calling. When you say the names they sound very much alike.

I had two of my 7 kids, # 3 and 4, at home unplanned b/c of quick labors. # 2 was almost born on the floor of admittance and for both # 2 and 7 my doctor did not make it in time for the delivery. After my first labor of 11 hours all of my labors were 2 hours or less, much less for some ; )

Yeah, know what you mean. Never had a doctor deliver any of my kids. 45 minutes was my slowest. Would have to head out when the water broke and the doctor never beat me to the deliveries. Still had to pay the guy, though. Geeze.

One can only imagine. Knowing welfare types, I have ample places to start.

A friend of mine was having her fourth baby and each one came quicker and easier. They were concerned that they might not make it to the hospital so they were asking everyone to pray that she would not have the baby in the car. She didn’t. She had it in the bathroom. Four contractions and it was over.

I guess you have to be careful what you ask for. They should have been more specific.

My husband went to school with a guy named Gregory Gregory Gregory, he went by Greg G Gregory

My high school friend named her twins: Peter James and James Peter.

She sure likes Peter, doesn't she. Oh, and James.
