The un-Bump Watch continues for Sarah Jessica Parker today as she was spotted enjoying a stroll in Manhattan yesterday with her 6 year old son James Wilkie in tow. As we are well aware, SJP and hubby Matthew Broderick are expecting the birth of twin daughters by a surrogate this Summer therefore there is no baby bump to watch out for. But, the focus has turned back to SJP since news of the impending birth of her twins came out so we get to watch her hit the streets of NYC until her babies arrive. Friends of SJP and Matthew reveal to People magazine that the couple have been trying to have another baby but it “wasn’t happening” so that is why they decided to go the surrogacy route:
The night before the news broke that Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick are expecting twin girls via surrogate, Parker certainly looked like a mom-to-be: She was glowing and forgoing those famous Sex and the City cosmopolitans. “She was in such a great mood, so sweet to everyone and so happy,” says a guest who attended the party at 675 Bar for Broderick’s film, Wonderful World, at the Tribeca Film Festival on Monday night. “They were tucked into a corner throughout the night. He drank martinis and she drank water. They were really loving and adoring. She did look beautiful.” According to friends, the actress has been ready for more children for a long time. “They’ve always wanted to become parents again,” says a source who has known the couple for years. “They realized after the first or second year after [son James Wilkie] was born that it would be nice to have another baby.” Though “they’ve always talked about wanting [more] kids, it just wasn’t happening,” says a pal of Broderick’s. Parker “had difficulty getting pregnant. So they went the surrogate route.” Friends say the couple love the roles of Mom and Dad. “They are great parents,” says the source. “They have a good time with their son.” The source adds, “Matthew is very hands-on. He loves to get on the floor and play with James. He’s a kid himself so he loves to act like a kid with James. And James, of course, loves it.” So how is Parker preparing for babies? This week, she stepped out to do a little shopping at the Manhattan toy store, Kidding Around. Perhaps she just needed to buy a few things in pink. “I can’t wait to have ‘The Girl,’ ” she told Western Mail in 2003. “I’ve been saving all my things for her. Everything: crazy Judith Leiber handbags, Manolos…”
It’s unclear what kind of surrogacy the couple employed to have their babies … either SJP‘s fertilized eggs have been implanted in the surrogate mother or someone else’s eggs were fertilized with Matthew‘s sperm. We may never know how the babies were conceived but it doesn’t really matter. I’m sure the babies were brought forth out of love and they will be loved and cared for unconditionally. I’ve always wondered what SJP would do if she had a little girl … I can’t wait to see her dote and spoil those little girls as much as she can. Mebbe now she can stop dressing James Wilkie like a girl, too :)

I for one am praying that she’s taking him to get his hair cut.
Or maybe buying him some pants that are long enough to fit him.
Where’s Tabitha and her much needed salon? And where’s the closest Children’s Place?
They’ll be so well dressed!
cut that little boys hair please!
PUHLEASE give that boy a friggin’ hair cut!
yes – yes – what the heck is it with these celebs letting their little boys’ hair grow so long?! she and kate hudson should both take their boys to the nearest salon…yuck!
What’s with all these celebs letting the boy hair grow. Not a trend I favor.
these celeb kids (kate hudson and sjp’s) are not attractive with long hair at all! if they looked like little surfer dudes…sure. but they both look anemic and silly. there is some tradition in the jewish faith about not cutting your sons hair until a certain birthday…but its like 2 or 3….not 6.
that kids hair is excessively long! and That is coming from someone who usually doesn’t mind longish hair on boys/guys/men
Leave these kids alone. A lot of my boy kindergarten students have longer hair now.No biggie.At least it looks clean!
One other thing-the article made it seem like SJP isn’t keen on her son; she’s just been waiting on “the girl,” which could be true, but it makes me feel sorry for James!
Congrats for them having babies. I was never able to and had thought of adopting before getting divorced. Maybe James does not want his hair cut. I remember one friend cut her son’s hair and left a long braid in the back. No big deal.
cut that kid’s hair!! ugh……boys look ridiculous with long hair like that………congrats to their upcoming twin girls…….i have twin girls that are now 15 years old and having twins was fun..;-)
I think James look cute with long hair.
What’s going on here? His pants are so short! There isn’t anything cute about that SJP! My son never wears high waters except to wear as PJs. And from experience, my son’s hair wasn’t anywhere near the length of her son’s, it was above his shoulders and kinda shaggy. I had a hard time cutiing his hair b/c it wouldve been his first hair cut. He was 13 months old. Anyhow, as soon as people started confusing him w/ being a girl, I cut his hair and keep it trim. Kids should be happy and as a parent you want to try to minimize the taunts and teases. You know that poor kid gets teased about his hair; why would she let that happen? Kids can b mean to other kids sometimes so why add fuel to the fire ya know?
has that kid ever had a haircut in his entire life?
Cut that kids hair.He looks like a girl and with that umbrella he looks even gayer.I’m guesing the Sex and the City star wants her son to look asexual or metrosexual.Mathew put the foot down.It looks that as in Jon and Kate is SJP is the one that wear the pants in the house.Ugh…..
Are you all of you really freaking out about the length of a childs hair? Let the woman parent her own child!
