Jessica Alba-TWINS?!
Filed under: Celeb Parents, Rumors
Not only is the internet awash with either new or gestating babies as Kristin noted earlier, Hollywood is also brimming with bonnets and booties and yet another celebrity is said to be expecting a pair of babes instead of a singleton.
Jessica Alba might be gearing up to be the newest member of the Famous Mothers with Twins club that so far includes: Julia Roberts, Marcia Cross, possibly Angelina Jolie, and Jennifer Lopez who should be having her babies ...................at any moment now.
According to a friend, "Knowing that she's going to have twins has turned Jessica's life upside down. She and (fiance) Cash have had to scrap plans for a one-baby nursery and start all over again." The friend also said the couple avoided finding out the sex of their babies so far and slipped out a due date: June 8th.
Twins always sounded like so much fun. Two babies! Double the cuteness and joy! And then there was that fateful trip when that I drove my pregnant self to the lakeside cottage of a girlfriend who had just had a pair of babies. I quickly learned that newborn twins means one of them needs something at all times.
I'm not exaggerating when I say my friend was nursing nearly the entire time I was there, while the rest of us (her husband, her mother-in-law, and me) took turns holding, diapering, walking, burping, cleaning and redressing the other baby until it was obvious THEY wanted to eat too.
I left the cottage earlier than originally planned due to complete exhaustion, rubbing my one-inhabitant-only belly in gratitude all the way home. Mothers of multiples amaze me.

Amanda said...My best friend just had twins, God Bless her and her family. Her husband is deployed in Iraq right now. their daughter turned one exactly one month after she gave birth to twins. yep...three under two! It is like having triplets for her and to make matters worse, she's going it alone, with very very little help from family or friends. I do as much as I can for her but I live thirty minutes away and have two little ones of my own and I work full-time. We will all be so glad when her husband returns home and can help her out. I cannot wrap my mind around how she does it. I admire her, and all military families, greatly!

missy said...I have four year old twins, a six year old and a nine year old. Let me just say my twins keep me on my toes. They get into more trouble than my other two kids when they were that age! My husband only took one week off work when they were born and I had some help from friends and family but not a whole lot, so I had my hands full.
I think the hardest part so far is when they started to walk. In the beginning they mostly just slept and ate so it was pretty easy, but when they became mobile oh my gosh! Even now that they are four they are still sneaky, Haley likes to tell me that she is her sister Lindsey. One time I heard them jumping on the couch and Lindsey said lets go into the other room so mom won't see or hear us--let's just say that one did not get passed me! I just hope that it will be easier when they start school and get older.

Christie said...I have a friend who had twins ( a boy and a girl ) who turned 1 this not even a week ago. She also had triplets this past October... Granted they were 4 months early and just recently released from the hospital. I don't know how she does it. She gave birth to 5 children in 7 months. She will never cease to amaze me.
