Mariah Carey Calls Newborn Twins an ‘Incredible Gift’

Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon have officially been parents for three days now, and they're loving every minute of it.

The songbird took to her Twitter page to update more than 4 million of her followers on her new motherhood and thank the well-wishers. "I wish I could personally thank all those around the world who continue 2 send congrats+prayers for #dembabies!" she wrote Monday (May 1). "They're doing great! They are the most incredible gifts we could ever have imagined

Carey also said that she is ready to reveal the names of the twins to her fans before telling friends and family, challenging her followers to guess. Although she hasn't yet confirmed a winner of the guessing game, the singer did reveal that both names begin with the letter "M."

As previously reported, the 41-year-old gave birth to the twins, a boy and girl, Saturday morning (April 30), on their third wedding anniversary. Carey and Cannon renewed their vows the following day under the guidance of Rev. Al Sharpton.

The couple tied the knot in 2008, to the surprise of both the public and those close to them. They currently split their time between New York and Los Angeles, and revealed that the price tag on the twins' baby nursery was a whopping $100,000.
