Geena Davis
In some ways, pregnancy was harder for Davis the second time around – although not because she is 48. She simply had more morning sickness – and was expecting twins. Toward the end, "she was complaining of being short of breath," says her father, William, 90. "There was no more room in her body for her lungs to fit." She's breathing easier now. After a C-section on May 9 at an L.A. hospital, Davis and her surgeon husband, Reza Jarrahy, 33, welcomed Kian William and Kaiis Steven; together, the boys weighed 11 lbs. 1 oz. Delivered before their June 1 due date (partly because of Davis's age), the twins will remain in incubators for two more weeks but are "perfect," says a close source. The couple's daughter, Alizeh, 2, "is delighted to have two new baby brothers," says Davis's rep. The boys' first names are Persian, like their dad's roots. "Reza is an awfully good helper," says William, noting that Jarrahy and Davis "both know what to expect this time around." With age, after all, comes wisdom. "Being an older mom," says William, "makes it more special."

Courteney Cox
The baby's arrival is still a few weeks away, but here's a hint: Think pink. A friend of Cox's, 39, tells PEOPLE that, yes, it's a girl – though the baby's uncle-to-be, David's brother Alexis Arquette, has yet another idea. "There are rumors that there are two in there," he says. "Courteney is huge." (The rumors are just that.) Seriously, though, "they're going to be awesome parents," says Alexis, who gave the couple "some little shoes" for their little one. He also notes that the former
Friends star and her fun-loving husband will make a well-balanced team. "I don't know how much of a disciplinarian he is going to be, but she is definitely good at cracking the whip," he says. The expectant dad is eager to get down to the business of child's play. "I'm gonna have a ton of fun being a dad," says Arquette, 32. "I can't wait to read stories and play games and the whole thing." Ditto the mom-to-be, who plans to juggle producing gigs and motherhood. "She's really beautiful," says her husband. "She's got the glow. We're so excited."
