Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon parents of twins

MusicNEW YORK (AP) -
-Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon celebrated their third anniversary with another milestone -- becoming parents to a baby girl and boy. Carey's representative, Cindi Berger, confirmed the births to The Associated Press. The singing superstar gave birth S aturday at 12:07 p.m. EDT (1607 GMT) at an undisclosed hospital in Los Angeles. Berger says the baby girl was born first, weighing 5 pounds, 3 ounces (2.35 kilograms), and was 18 inches (45.7 centimeters) tall; her brother was next, at 5 pounds 6 ounces (2.44 kilograms), and was 19 inches (48.3 centimeters). Berger says the couple has not named the children yet. Cannon drove Carey to the hospital in their Rolls-Royce Phantom. Berger said the 41-year-old Carey, who had gone through false labor, was calm, thinking that it was another false alarm. Meanwhile, the 30-year-old Cannon was so nervous he went to the wrong department at the hospital, and was guided to the maternity ward by a nurse. 'It was like right out of an 'I Love Lucy' skit,' said Berger, referring to the 1950s TV comedy. Berger says they were listening to Carey's 'We Belong Together' after the children were born. The couple are expected to renew their wedding vows on Sunday"
