Jennifer Lopez can't take her eyes off daughter and son

Noting that her good friend Jennifer Lopez is "twice blessed," producer Elaine Goldsmith-Thomas says that the new mom to 3-day-old fraternal twins — a boy and a girl, delivered early Friday morning — is already at ease with motherhood.  Elaine tells People,

[Jennifer] sounds very peaceful and happy and blissful.  She said ‘I can’t take my eyes off of them.’   

The happiness began in earnest with Jennifer’s pregnancy, which marked a sharp departure from the normal state of being for the 38-year-old actress, singer and successful fashion designer.

She really enjoyed her pregnancy.  She has been nesting. And she has been resting which is different for her. She has really found a balance – before it was a massive amount of work. [Now] she is so excited about these babies.

That excitement was on full display for Elaine during a recent trip to the home Jennifer shares with her husband Marc Anthony.  After dinner, Jennifer invited her guest to see the twins’ nursery, and when the two looked at all the baby clothes "we just squealed" Elaine recalled. 

We just stood there and stopped – the reality of it sort of takes your breath away.

At her recent baby shower, thrown by Elaine, Jennifer’s breath was taken away again when she received a charm with ‘Momma’ on it.  The gift made Jennifer cry tears of happiness, Elaine said.

[Jennifer] and Marc are so ready for a family. They love each other so much and built this beautiful life together. It feels like the only thing missing were these children and now they have them.

Do we know what she named the twins yet?

- Karen on February 25th, 2008

I was wondering the same thing. I can’t wait to hear what names were chosen.

It’s been several days and I don’t believe for a minute that those babies have not been named. It’s just once again a way for Ms. Lopez to control everything. I feel that it’s all a calculated move to keep herself in the media. The babies are here and so what is now the big deal for her to simply disclose their names and go off to enjoy her new babies. I am convinced she does these things to keep her name in the news. She did it with the pregnancy and she’s now doing it with the names. I simply don’t get it!!!

I hope they dont make us wait too long for those names!!

I don’t think I’ve ever been happier for a new celebrity mama, because she wanted it so much and she sounds so happy now. It was the right time in her life to have kids.
I really hope we hear their names soon!

I heard rumors that the twins names were Max and Emme. I am anxiously awaiting to hear what she named them as well.

Geez, the way Elaine described Jennifer’s reactions, which I can actually imagine, given how much she’s been hoping to become a mom, it just makes you want to cry. She just sounded so excited to finally be nearing her dream, and now that she has it, two little dreams of her own, she’s just beside herself with joy. I can’t help but feel happy for her.

I’m not even a J.Lo fan and I’m biting my nails on the edge of my seat waiting for the children’s names!!!

My daughter and I have been whining about wanting to know the babies names!

I can totally relate to how Jennifer is feeling.

When I read that – it instantly brought me back to when I had my little girls.

When we brought them home I couldn’t stop staring at all their little features and trying to distinguish what of mine they had and what part of my husband.

It’s a wonderful feeling when you hold your newborn in your arms for the first time, bringing them home and going through all the milestones with them.

Jennifer and Marc have many wonderful years to look forward to.
