My partner and I had our first son in 1996, and the office became the baby's room. Our second son was born in 2001, and the office became the kids' room.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Birth was something that came quite unexpectedly, and afterwards there was one child more in the house.
My son was five months old, and I built a makeshift studio in my living room so that I could do the attachment parenting approach and write the record at the same time. That was fortuitous, that we could build that in the house.
After raising twins, you get organized.
I got introduced to audiobooks because of having a baby.
My daughter arrived when I was five months pregnant with my son. We adopted Melanie from Korea; she was 2 years old, almost 3. I always wanted to have a family. I had a good example because Melissa Hayden was a ballerina in our company, and she had two children and danced afterward, and Allegra Kent also did.
Sometimes, to keep things exciting, I decorate my house as if I owned a child. I'll toss a tiny pair of shoes in the hallway or lean small wooden crutches in what I refer to as 'the baby's room,' which is actually a tiny space where I make things. I continue to call it the baby's room because it confuses people and it's creepy.
I had both my children at home. It came naturally to me.
I wasn't born, I was ordered from room service.
I had my first baby at twenty-one.
I am the fourth of five children, and I can't remember a time with no babies in the house.
