Sarah Jane and Lauren Alma Hunt were kept at the hospital an extra day for observation after receiving 24 hours of light therapy treatment for jaundice. Swift was released from the hospital Sunday morning. A spokesman said she would spend the night in Boston with relatives. Swift will take her newborn daughters to her home in Williamstown, three hours from Boston.
Jaundice turns the skin a yellowish color, and is a common condition among premature newborns.
The twins were born Tuesday night, making Swift the first governor in history to give birth while in office. Though she will retain control as governor, for at least the next two weeks she is expected to focus on her recovery from the Caesarean section and on getting to know her new daughters. She said Saturday she has delegated what she could to aides and staff, and will handle the rest by telephone.
