Lopez sat down for an interview with Elle magazine for their October issue. She had lots to talk about as she looked back on the magical experience of becoming pregnant and the life-changing experience she wanted to fully enjoy. She made an important decision after she finished her concert tour with husband Marc Anthony last fall when she told him she needed him to step up and take over:

“I said, ‘I did the superwoman thing, I finished the tour – now I need you to take care of me,

“‘I love doing things for you; if I’m not cooking, then I’m picking out a shirt. But this is the first time in my life where I’m just going to be a little bit selfish,’” she told Anthony. “‘I don’t know if I’m going to have kids again, so I want it to be a beautiful experience. I don’t want to have any drama. I want to just be smiling every day.’”

JLo is currently in training for her first triathalon, told that neither of them worried during the four years of their marriage that she didn’t get pregnant:

“We knew nothing was wrong with either one of us – I had been checked, and he had kids already,” she told Elle. “I knew [that] something’s not ready here, in my head or in my life, and when it is, I know it’s going to happen.”

She describes the magical moment that she realized she was indeed pregnant:

“I was sitting down doing hair and makeup and I felt a flutter. The weirdest little … flourish. My makeup artist said ‘What’s the matter?’ I didn’t say anything, but in my head, I was like, I have life inside me!”

To commemorate the experience of being pregnant Lopez commissioned a special gift for her hubby– a book of photos of herself. She says:

“I was like, ‘How am I going to rock this moment of my life? … I felt very womanly. Marc was in a dream. He loved it.”

The babies are now 6 months old. Time sure has flown by! She seems happy and content and still in love with him… so he must be doing a fine job as husband and father. Good on him!

The source said, “Normally people who make huge sums of money and have loads of professional and social obligations hire a nanny for each child, especially for newborns. But it is as if Jennifer expects one nanny not only to take care of both twins, but to work 16-hour days, seven days a week!” Their first nanny only lasted ONE week.

JLo is having trouble finding a nanny for $2,250 a week. I guess if they are working 16hour days and 7 days a week. That is only about 20 bucks/hr with no overtime! (Although the salary is over 100k a year..) She would be better off to hire 2 maids doing 8hr shifts each… I think she would have a better shot at keeping them.

Her father, David Lopez, has announced that his daughter is having twins.:

“Yes, twins. The thing is in my family, my sister also had twins, so it’s a hereditary thing,” the grandpa-to-be said in an interview on the show Escándalo TV (Telefutura). When asked how he felt about the big news, López expressed his happiness for his famous daughter. “I’m very proud. Jennifer has yearned to be a mother for many years,” he said.

Her due date is approaching any day now and, her dad says he already has gifts ready for the babies. “In Puerto Rico it’s custom to buy an azabache [black stone] bracelet for babies to protect them from the evil eye, it’s part of our culture,” he explained.

Mr. Lopez didn’t reveal the sex of the babies, which I’m sure she’s happy about since she kept her pregnancy hush for so long. I wonder how she feels about her daddy making such an official announcement? He must be a proud grandfather!

Marc Anthony’s rep tells UsMag that Jennifer Lopez is not in labor despite rumors.

It’s not true. We have been getting the same phone calls since last week. Everybody figures it is happening around now so they have started throwing out the story hoping they will be right and be the one to break the news but it isn’t yet

I guess people do just randomly make up rumors hoping to be the first to talk about it especially since she will be giving birth to her twins very soon.

I give it about 9 days and then she will pop! But really who am I to say!

OMG look at this picture. Jennifer Lopez has quite the baby bump, I am surprised that she hasn’t come right out and said it. Unless this picture is photo shopped Jenny from the Block is really knocked up!

She better come out with a statement soon. There is no use hiding that baby anymore!
