Mom Finds Out She's Pregnant, Unprepared for Triple Twist
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. At first glance, you may wonder why this video of triplet boys has gone viral, as they are just lying on the floor. But the text layered over explains that they aren't your average multiples. Mom Myah Winbush, 31, explains that Harland and Hayes are identical twins—meaning they developed from the same fertilized egg and share identical DNA—while Hudson is their fraternal twin, having developed from a separate egg and sperm. She told Newsweek: "I couldn't stop laughing and crying during our first ultrasound. My husband sat in the corner quietly doing financial calculations. I don't think we'll ever get over the shock." Three screenshots of the triplets Hudson (left), Harland (right) and Hayes (in the circle). Three screenshots of the triplets Hudson (left), Harland (right) and Hayes (in the circle). TikTok/@theyostfamily Dr. Suhail Hussain, a general practitioner, explained to Newsweek that the most common type of triplets is trizygotic (fraternal), meaning each baby develops from a separate fertilized egg. He said: "The next most common is dizygotic (two identical and one fraternal). The least common is monozygotic – one egg splits into three separate embryos (this would only be 10 percent of all triplet births). "The specific type of triplet formation (all fraternal, two identical/one fraternal, or all identical) is determined by the way the eggs are fertilized and split during early development." Winbush from Lexington, Kentucky told Newsweek triplets do not run in the family. She explained she was shocked to see two sacs during the scan at six-weeks, then they saw one had two babies in it. They were welcomed into the world at 29 weeks and spent some time in NICU before settling into their home with their two brothers, who are now two and four years old. "Introducing 29-week preemies with two other boys were just one and three years old at the time was challenging," told Winbush. "We have been through so much medically and emotionally. "We learned that you must take the good and the bad and cherish every moment because nothing lasts forever." The triplets are now nine-months old and becoming increasingly popular on Instagram, often gaining thousands of views. "It's a bit of a circus around here, but we wouldn't have it any other way," told Winbush. "When I was pregnant with our first, a coworker told me to remember that in parenting everything is temporary. 'Everything is temporary', is our new parenting motto." Regardless of the hardship that comes with being a mom of five under five, the internet have been won over by the trio. As of now, the May 16 clip has almost 53,000 likes. "Those eggs were doing whatever they wanted!" said one user. Another wrote: "What the heck!! Would have been my response at delivery, but everyone is different. on all THREE healthy babies!" A third said: "I think your embryo split twice at different times. Those are identical triplets!"

'Rust' honors the classic Hollywood western, uneasily
'Rust,' Alec Baldwin and Joel Souza's slow-moving, sepia-toned homage to the American western, is the kind of respectable if unremarkable genre exercise that would have come and gone without much notice were it not for the circumstances of its making. In 2021, during rehearsal of a scene, a gun being held by Baldwin — the film's producer and star — discharged. 'Rust's' director of photography, Halyna Hutchins, was shot in the chest and killed. The production's armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter. Charges against Baldwin were dropped. Drenched in such tragedy, 'Rust' is almost impossible to judge on the merits. On its own modest terms, it's a perfectly competent, if inert, throwback: a pastiche of movie characters, gestures and narrative devices that are instantly recognizable to anyone who worships at the altar of John Ford or, more recently, variations like 'The Power of the Dog,' 'The Hateful Eight' and the Coen brothers' remake of 'True Grit.' Baldwin plays Harland Rust, who rides into a small town in 19th-century Wyoming one fateful night and rides away with 13-year-old Lucas Hollister (Patrick Scott McDermott), an orphan who has been tending what's left of the family homestead and caring for his little brother until he butts up against the local authorities. Now on the lam, Harland and Lucas light out to the New Mexico territory, their journey punctuated with metronomic regularity by encounters with various miscreants, malefactors and colorful ne'er-do-wells. Written and directed by Souza, 'Rust' is filmed in monochromatic tones of tea-colored tans and murky browns that announce period-piece seriousness; the interiors are inky to the point of illegibility (Hutchins's duties were taken over by Bianca Cline). But when Harland and Lucas are on the road, the mountain vistas and thundercloud-strewn skies are breathtaking. ('Rust' was filmed in New Mexico and Montana.) Working from a checklist of genre signifiers, Souza ticks them off one by one: In one scene, a bowler-hatted man playing a rinky-tinky piano stops suddenly when things get serious; you could swear it's a cue for Leonardo DiCaprio to walk in from the set-within-a-set of 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.' Varmints, outlaws, scoundrels and bullwhackers — plus a fancy woman or two — populate a world where people don't talk, they 'conversate' in florid swirls of extravagant, self-consciously baroque prose; among the men who are pursuing Harland and Lucas through the scrub are a Bible-quoting bounty hunter and a U.S. marshal in the throes of Dostoyevskian doubt. (They're played with commendable gusto by Travis Fimmel and Josh Hopkins.) Harland may be less verbose ('There's alive, and there's ain't. Try to focus on the former'), but he's no less mannered, as both a speaker and an archetype. As a latter-day Shane, Baldwin makes a dashing man of grizzled mystery, even when it's possible to catch a glimpse of Jack Donaghy behind the graying beard and steely eyes. ('30 Rock' fans will need to be forgiven for occasionally flashing on Jack's classic line: 'What am I, a farmer?' Well …) Newcomer McDermott delivers a sturdy, admirably understated performance as Lucas, a boy still learning what it means to be a man, even when manhood has been ruthlessly thrust upon him. That manhood, of course, is most dramatically tested by way of gunfights, which are plentiful throughout 'Rust,' although Souza wisely excised the scene that was being rehearsed when Hutchins lost her life. Still, the movie traffics in the same ritualized shoot-'em-up violence that is just as much a deliverable as fast horses, Stetson cowboy hats and calico house dresses. In the 1800s, guns weren't considered toys or political totems or testosterone delivery systems: They were tools. It took the movies, including westerns, to turn them into fetish objects. Even as 'Rust' honors and emulates those movies, its own backstory serves as a reminder of the lethal reality behind all the quick-draw posing and macho romance. It's an uneasy space to occupy, but it's one, paradoxically, where 'Rust' might have its most lasting value. Unrated. Starts Friday at select theaters nationwide and on-demand streaming services such as Apple TV+ and Prime Video. Contains thematic material and graphic violence. 133 minutes.

'Rust' movie review: Alec Baldwin's movie finds beauty amid tragedy
'Rust' movie review: Alec Baldwin's movie finds beauty amid tragedy Show Caption Hide Caption 'Rust' movie trailer: See Alec Baldwin as a Western outlaw Alec Baldwin's Western drama "Rust" is out May 2. Watching 'Rust,' it's easy to be rattled by the gunshots. Being a Western drama, naturally there's plenty of gunfights, showdowns and old-school cowboy justice. But this is also a movie haunted by one shot in particular, the bullet that killed Ukrainian cinematographer Halyna Hutchins three-and-a-half years ago when a prop gun held by Alec Baldwin discharged. That shot is the hardest one to forget. After years of lawsuits, criminal charges and controversies involving Baldwin, filmmakers, crew members and Hutchins' family, writer/director Joel Souza's movie (★★½ out of four; rated R; in theaters and on demand May 2) is finally finished and being released for interested moviegoers. Storywise, it's a solid if overlong tale of family and redemption – fans of 'Yellowstone' or 'Horizon' will find stuff to love. Where 'Rust' stands out is in its look, a gorgeously shot production with an emphasis on contrasts and dark colors that's a testament to the talents of Hutchins and fellow cinematographer Bianca Cline. Join our Watch Party! Sign up to receive USA TODAY's movie and TV recommendations right in your inbox In 1880s Wyoming, orphaned 13-year-old Lucas Hollister (Patrick Scott McDermott) takes care of his little brother (Easton Malcolm), selling off valuable animals just to put food on the table. Lucas accidentally kills a man with whom he's had a public beef and is sentenced to hang. As gallows are being built outside Lucas' jail cell, his estranged grandfather Harland Rust (Baldwin), an infamous outlaw, shows up to break him out of jail and take him to safety in Mexico, murdering a couple of lawmen in the process. His grandpa's existence is a surprise in itself to Lucas – he believed the old man was dead – and even though the kid's had to grow up fast, the odd pairing takes a bit to bond as Harland is hard on the youngster. 'There's alive and there's ain't. Try to focus on the former,' he says, attempting to get the youngster in a survival mindset. Meanwhile, a bounty is put on the heads of both Lucas and Harland, which sends a wild-eyed and sadistic guy named Preacher (Travis Fimmel) hunting for them. U.S. marshal Wood Helm (Josh Hopkins) is tasked with tracking Harland down as well, though he struggles with leaving behind his ailing son. Between the film's strong opening and the bloody climax, 'Rust' moseys along with subplots, side characters and various threats to Lucas and Harland's well-being. Baldwin is positively gruff as the world-weary Harland, and he and McDermott fall into an interesting chemistry as the outlaw's backstory and familial connection are slowly revealed. McDermott is aces as a kid who from the start is thrown into disarray, and Hopkins is pretty terrific as the good-hearted but troubled marshal. It might surprise some that 'Rust' was ever finished after the tragedy. Yet it's clear that a good amount had to be redone. Because of scheduling conflicts, McDermott and Hopkins replaced original actors Brady Noon and Jensen Ackles in major roles. And Cline was tapped to finish the job as director of photography by Souza, who himself was wounded by the same bullet that fatally struck Hutchins. (The film is dedicated to Hutchins and includes a saying of hers at the end: 'What can we do to make this better?') For someone not involved in the production, it's a fool's errand to try and pick out what's Hutchins' work and what's Cline's. Instead, let's celebrate that the overall cinematic life that 'Rust' conjures is exceptional. There are widescreen vistas aplenty and fantastic use of shadows throughout the movie. There's a stunning bit early on with Lucas at the graves of his parents seen from afar, and Baldwin's character is a dark, unseen figure in scenes until he introduces himself to both Lucas and the audience. While people riding horses is a frequent trope for the genre, several moments set at dusk or against a cloudy sky deftly capture the movie's melancholic mood. There are uncanny echoes of real life in 'Rust': That an errant bullet and an accidental shooting death spur the main plot of the movie is remarkable, and the tale features several characters having to deal with the consequences of their violence. (Souza took out the scene that was the setting for Hutchins' death.) Like 'The Crow' or 'Twilight Zone: The Movie,' 'Rust' is a film that's forever tied to one fatal day. It's not fair or perfect but finding beauty amid tragedy is something.
