It’s blue times two for Chely Wright.

The country singer and her wife, music executive Lauren Blitzer Wright, welcomed identical twin sons on Saturday, May 18 in New York City, her rep tells PEOPLE exclusively.

Although they weren’t due until this summer, George Samuel and Everett Joseph — who are named for their great-grandfathers – are thriving, the rep says.

“We are grateful for all the amazing medical care and the love and support of family and friends,” Wright, 42, tells PEOPLE.

The couple, who announced the pregnancy in January, revealed the sex of the twins in March.

“We’re having two little boys,” Wright said at the time. “They’re healthy babies … Everything looks good.”

After a rough start ridden with morning sickness, Jamie-Lynn Sigler is full swing in the sweetest phases of her first pregnancy.

“[At] 12 weeks it’s like something happens — something clicks — and you’re back. I’m in the honeymoon stage of my pregnancy,” the actress told PEOPLE while visiting Drugstore.com at New York Family‘s New York Baby Show Saturday.

“I’m six and a half months now so I’m mobile. I can still move around. I can still put on heels if I need to — but I know summer’s coming.”

And for when those long days of summer officially strike, Sigler’s schedule will include time spent “floating in a pool somewhere” trying to beat the heat and keeping cool in her recently renovated home.

Mom Said It

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
