The next day, he added a more serious note of thanks: "I'm in the happiest place I've ever been in my life. I never had more amazing things happening. I am humbled by God's Favor!"

After rushing to the hospital in their Rolls Royce Phantom, the duo welcomed their son and daughter as Carey's mega-smash "We Belong Together" played. The girl weighed 5 pounds, 3 ounces, and measured 18 inches long; her brother weighed 5 pounds 6 ounces, and was 19 inches long. The couple's rep said the babies have not yet been named.
Although Carey has yet to Tweet or talk about the exciting news, she was showered with congrats from celeb pals on Twitter, like first-time mom-to-be Alyssa Milano, Nicki Minaj, Jermaine Dupri and Katy Perry.

Um there's some typos in this story the twins were born after 9am LA time not noon as it was confirmed at 2:15pm not 5:15pm as it would've been had they born born at Noon LA time as california is 3 hours behind the east coast And Mariah & Nick have been maried 3 years not 4 the third anniversary is the beginning of the 4th year. congrats to them the names should be released in a couple of days when their out of the hospital. those things Nick said were sweet
I knew it, I knew it, my intuition was right. My thoughts told me that Mariah was going to have those babies b4 monday, and she did. Congrats Mariah & Nick.
The twins are lucky to have these two for their parents. I'm sure they will be adored.
