The Yahoo CEO tweeted that she, the twins and her
husband, Zachary Bogue, are "doing great. "
On her Tumblr blog , Mayer said the twins were born
early Thursday morning.
"Thanks to everyone for all of the support and well
wishes throughout my pregnancy," she posted.
She did not yet reveal the twins' names.
Zack and I are excited to announce that our identical
twin girls were born early this morning. Our whole
family is doing great! @zackbogue

A Yahoo spokeswoman said in a statement the
Mayer-Bogue family is "beyond thrilled."
"We couldn't be happier for them!" she said.
Mayer and Bogue also have a son, Macallister, who
is 3 years old. Mayer revealed that she was
pregnant with Macallister on the day she accepted
the Yahoo ( , Tech30 ) job in July 2012.
The Yahoo CEO was criticized by maternity leave
advocates for returning to work quickly after giving
birth to her son. Mayer had a nursery installed close
to her desk so she could work and help to take care
of her child without going back and forth from her
office.
When Mayer announced in August that she was
expecting twins, she said she planned on taking a
similar tactic.
"Since my pregnancy has been healthy and
uncomplicated and since this is a unique time in
Yahoo's transformation, I plan to approach the
pregnancy and delivery as I did with my son three
years ago, taking limited time away and working
throughout," Mayer said in a Tumblr post .
Mayer stuck to that promise, appearing on a
conference call with investors and on CNBC
Wednesday morning to discuss Yahoo's plans to
keep the company's lucrative Alibaba stake and
spin off its core Internet business into a new
company.
CNBC anchor David Faber offered Mayer well-
wishes, which she thanked him for. She said during
the interview that she was expecting the twins to
arrive "later this month."
"There's always a lot to do on both the homefront
and the workfront," Mayer said.
Mayer's twins were born just two weeks after
Facebook ( , Tech30 ) CEO Mark Zuckerberg's
wife Priscilla Chan gave birth to the couple's first
child -- a daughter named Maxima .
