'The View' co-host Abby Huntsman gives birth to twins

It's a boy -- and a girl! -- for Abby Huntsman!

The co-host of "The View" welcomed twins with husband Jeffrey Livingston in New York City on Wednesday, June 5, People confirmed: A daughter named Ruby Kate and a son named William Jeffrey.

"Ruby came first at 5 lbs., 12 oz. She is a sweet, very calm baby," the 33-year-old mother of three revealed. "William is 5 lbs., 4 ox., and came into the world wide-eyed and ready to raise havoc. Both babies are long like their parents -- 19 inches."

Huntsman and Livingston also share daughter, Isabel Grace, 18 months.

The former Fox News host's parents, U.S. Ambassador to Russia Jon Huntsman and Mary Kaye, flew in from Moscow for the delivery. Photos of the happy extended family in the delivery room can be seen on People's website.

Huntsman announced that she was expecting twins back on January 2 with a joint announcement on "The View" and in People. The television personality revealed that her husband fainted when he heard the news.

"I think he saw two sacs in there and I could see it on his face," she laughed. "He turned white, and then when the doctor told us, he fell. Another doctor had to come in, and they were wiping him down with towels and giving him sugar. I was sitting there with my feet still in the straps. I’m like, 'This is ridiculous. I’m the one that has to physically do this.'"

"It was just one of those things like out of a movie, but I get it," she added. "[As] a dad, I think he’s thinking about the costs of everything and the logistics. Now we’re so excited."

Congrats to the happy family!
