The Twins Have Arrived! Mariah Gives Birth To A Boy And A Girl
Holy Twinsies! They’re here! They’re here! Mariah Carey ’s rep Cindi Berger confirmed that dem babies were born on Saturday at 12:07 p.m. EDT at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles. Mariah’s little princess was born first, weighting 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and was 18 inches long. Her tiny prince will clearly be the baby of the family as he was born soon after, at 5 pounds, 6 ounces, and was 19 inches. Berger says that Mariah and Nick have not named the children, but knowing MiMi, we’re sure they’re going to have the most adorable names ever. Berger gave us some details about how it all went down: She says that Nick drove Mariah in their Rolls Royce Phantom, assuming it was another false alarm. Turns out, it was the real thing , which made Nick so nervous, he went to the wrong department at the hospital and had to be guided to the maternity ward by a nurse. Berger says, “It was like right out of an I Love Lucy skit.” LOLz! And to make things soooo much cuter, Berger says that Nick and Mariah were listening to We Belong Together after the children were born. Awww!! Only Mariah!! Too cute and HIGHlarious for words. Oh, btw, did we mention that the twins were born the same day as Mariah and Nick’s anniverary?? We are so happy for you and Nick, MiMi! We love you and we know we’re just going to love those adorable little nuggets of cuteness. Congrats! Congrats! Congrats! [ Image via WENN .]
