Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon reveal Roc and Roe

If you missed them last night on ABC's 20/20, here they are! Meet six-month-old Roc and Roe Cannon. Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon debuted "dem babies", as they call the twins, to Barbara Walters. Roe - full name: Monroe - is named after Marilyn Monroe. Roc - Moroccan - is named after the Moroccan Room on the rooftop of her Manhattan apartment where Nick proposed to Mariah. Do you like his little suit?

In the interview, Mariah talked about how difficult is was to carry twins. "I don't think I understood the enormity and the magnitude of what it really does to your body," Carey said. "Carrying two babies. Unless somebody's been through it, it's difficult to understand what I went through, because my pregnancy was very unique in terms of what happened to me."

She said the public never knew about her long periods of bed rest, false labors and several emergency trips to the hospital. Carey didn't want to sound like a complainer, she said, and feels blessed and thankful to have her babies, but said that late in her pregnancy she could barely move or get out of bed by herself.

"I had serious back problems," she said. "I was afraid I wasn't going to be able to walk properly again. It was a huge strain." At 35 weeks, the twins were born via C-section. Nick made sure Mariah's live version of Fantasy was playing in the delivery room, because, said Mariah, "I wanted them to hear the applause upon entering the world."
