It wasn't such a pleasant experience. We went through 14 hours with contractions every two minutes, no epidural, no nothing. Every two minutes, I would pass out. I went to the hospital on Saturday, and Levi was born on Monday.
From Camila Alves
We tried every single way of giving birth. It didn't work. I wasn't too crazy about having to do a C-section and take all the drugs. Finally, I just had to be like, 'Let it go.'
Most of my family doesn't speak English. It's so important for the baby. He's going to know all his American roots, but he also needs to know about his Brazilian side.
It was a really big deal to become an American citizen the right way. You have to work really hard, and it is such an honor to be able to say that.
I got my green card and everything through my work, even before marriage or anything like that, so you really have to follow the rules and do everything the right way to be able to accomplish that, so it was big... I had my green card for so long.
I'm like half Brazilian and half American now.
I wash my hair once or twice a week to keep the natural oils.
The way we do music in Brazil is very different because we are so moved by music; we grow up with that.
My most joy that I have is dancing.
I come from a simple background, so I couldn't call my father and say, 'Come pay my bills,' so I had to get out there and work.
