Here's a quote from the mag:
"I thought I'd be ready to just sit still with the babies when they were born, but they've actually made me more ambitious," Lopez says in
the September issue of Self. "Right now, I feel all this love and this newfound inspiration in my life. Like I can conquer the world! Like it's just
beginning.
I so love this quote! Sounds like her drive is finally back, to me it seems like it faded away a lil the last few years.
all I can say is: Bring it mami, we're ready!
and thanks for the scans, she looks lovely. Nice interview/article although its really short, she is such a doll!
'honestly, i didnt like the barrier between me and my children, i wanted to raise them. i wanted to be the first face they saw in the morning. and i wanted
to let them know, 'you can count on me', so i just got rid of everybody'
although its quite a different picture that she painted in people mag when she did have the help.
bb & ojf, you heard it here first!! marcjenforever Staying Together Is Our Trend: BB Staff

I think the quote about being more ambitious is more about new things to come, not an old era but a new one. I'm excited.
although its quite a different picture that she painted in people mag when she did have the help.
Actually the interviewer was the one that mentioned the help they had and it was only a mention. Plus they said that although they had round the
clock nurses, she and Marc still did most of the work themselves.
Lillemon03, Thanks for the scans! I just got my hands on a copy from the food market, but had to check @ a few registers to
find it.
I agree that this reads like a fresh interview. I haven't picked up on any rehashing of comments that have already gone through the news services. Jenn
sounds different because of what has happened in her life, and the different ways she is responding to change and growing.. For example:
... Adjusting to the twins' schedule hasn't always been smooth. "First, Marc was the night shift + I was the day, but he was like, 'I
hate this!' So we decided we're just going to help each other all day and all night," she says... (Rest of paragraph's about how tired
parents often get with newborns. )
I feel esp. good about this one ^ because Marc was really trying, but it looked like he was
having a rough time w/ it, esp. while recording (3) albums? Not to mention that he & Jenn wouldn't be together that much: - either as a couple -or-
as parents to Emme and Maz, jmho..
Btw,Jenn's also
featuredon two extra pages of the mag. One, on pg 17 (Coverlook), and the next is on pg. 22, w/ her sitting next
to the editor , who describes the ways Jenn inspires her!
Sorry, would have added the pages here, but our scanner's not
working right now.

the pics are beautiful
What do you mean?
I think it makes sense, because if you have a live in nanny, that nanny is going to bond with them and hopefully, really love them. So, I'd think that when
you want to do stuff with your kids, you'd feel like you were being watched or judged or something. I don't know, I understand what she means about the
barrier. It would make me uncomfortable. Especially since these
are her first children and you aren't really "parent of the year" right out of the gate. You make mistakes.
