But we were not expecting THIS!” The images showed the couple each holding a black balloon and, once popped, revealed pink confetti. It’s twins girls! Jed, who wrote the caption, reflected on being a twin himself writing, “We are overjoyed to announce that we have twin girls on the way! As a twin myself, I’m especially thrilled to welcome these double blessings into our family!
