Mariah Carey has posed for her fair share of portraits, but none has been as personal 或者 emotional as these exclusive belly-baring snaps. Mere days away from welcoming her first and 秒 child, Mariah proudly showed off her pregnant body to Life & Style.
"I was feeling very vulnerable about taking pictures at all right now, but then I didn't want to miss this opportunity to document this once-in-a-lifetime experience," Mariah exclusively tells Life & Style. "My ultimate goal was to share this incredibly personal moment with my true fans."
And the twins -- a boy and a girl -- were clearly ready for their closeups.
"The 婴儿 were kicking almost the entire time; it was unbelievable," Mariah tells Life & Style. "Especially the girl -- clearly she's a diva in training! We didn't start shooting until 1:30 a.m. because I was in the hospital from the night before until the 日 of the shoot with contractions five 分钟 apart!"
Indeed, although Mariah's not due for a few weeks, the twins could be making their grand entrance sooner rather than later. Contractions sent mom to the hospital on March 27. But for now, Mariah and soon-to-be-dad Nick 大炮, 加农炮 are simply reveling in their twin bliss! And Nick says he is 更多 attracted to his wife than ever. "I thought I couldn't 爱情 Mariah more," he tells Life & Style. "But I have a whole new appreciation and admiration for her."
Mariah adds, "Now I have so much respect for mothers everywhere, especially those who've had difficult pregnancies 或者 给 birth to multiples. We need to have Mother's 日 once a week!"
