Ahead of the birth, Jennifer and Brian spoke of their choice not to hire a nanny with their first child, and their intention to remain nanny-free with the arrival of their second. "We didn't have a night nurse, we didn't have a nanny," a heavily pregnant Jennifer told People magazine. "We haven't ever had any of that stuff. It's been really interesting to do it all ourselves. "In an interview with American Baby magazine in April, Jennifer said that pregnancy is "magical" and added: "I'm grateful. It's not lost on me what a gift it is to be able to get pregnant."
