People editor Peter Castro appeared on Good Morning America this morning, showing another photo of Jennifer and Marc facing each other; Jennifer holding Emme and Marc holding Max. Peter spent the weekend with the couple and reports that the 38-year-old mom is in heaven.

She described it as the most magical time of her life. She said you know what you can win an Oscar, you can win a Golden Globe, and you know as an ambitious artist you strive for those things but when you have a kid, all of that is irrelevant. I mean this is what is most important to her. As she said, ‘As a woman this is the biggest thing that can happen to me.’

Peter revealed that Jennifer gained approximately 45 to 50 pounds during her pregnancy, but she doesn’t mind the weight gain at all.

She wanted to do that because she had twins and she wanted to get those twins big. And they were almost 6 pounds when they were born. And right now, yes, she’s lost a lot of the weight, but she is no rush to lose all of it. She is enjoying motherhood and that is what she is concentrating on.

Even though the couple do have help in their home in the form of two nurses, they enjoy taking care of their new arrivals themselves.

I have to tell you even though they have two nurses, they do a lot of the work themselves. They are up until 6 o’clock feeding the babies, taking care of the babies. They do not want to leave them, they are so attached right now.

Jennifer embraced her pregnancy and part of that is due to the fact that she didn’t believe it was ever going to happen.

It had been so long and she was trying so hard to get pregnant that she did not believe the first results. So she sent an assistant out and said, “Get me two more pregnancy tests.” She took a second one, she took a third one. All positive and she still didn’t believe it. Finally Marc said ‘You got to look at the evidence here, you’re pregnant.” And they both started crying.

On the Today show, it was shared that the girl’s name is pronounced “Emmy,” and explained that the twins’ middle names, David and Maribel, are both derived from family members. David honors Jennifer’s father, while Maribel was the name of Marc’s sister, who passed away from a brain tumor. Muñiz is Marc’s legal last name and Jennifer’s married one, which she uses in her personal life.In the issue, Jennifer comments on their rumored fertility treatments. Although yes, it took them a long time to conceive, they did not end up needing assistance. Peter revealed,

[Jennifer] said there were these rumors of infertility and in vitro, but she said, “I know people think that because we had twins, but they run in my family, they run in Marc’s family. This really happened naturally, believe it or not. We tried a long time.”

At one point she said, ‘Maybe this isn’t meant for me.’ She resigned herself to like, ‘You know what? I’m a step-mom, I have a family, I’ll be happy’ — and then it happened.
