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 :)
