Sarah Jessica Parker: 'I Love the Smell of Diapers'

Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker has five-month-old twin daughters with husband Matthew Broderick, and she doesn't shy away from the dirty work involved in parenting. She said: “I love the smell of diapers -- I even like when they’re wet and you smell them all warm liked a baked good. I love the smell of Balmex. Love it.”

The twins' names are Loretta and Tabitha, and Sarah revealed her seven-year-old son James demanded to have a say in naming his sister Loretta (whose first name is actually Marion). She said: “He told me he really wanted Marion to be in the mix. We thought, ‘Are we crazy? Do we let our son name one of the girls? Is that the right thing to do? Is it important for him?’ And then he goes, ‘And I want it legal.’ ”

As PopEater reports, the couple faced criticism this summer when it was revealed they were expecting twins through a surrogate. But Sarah insists they had tried to extend their brood in other ways first. She explained to America’s Elle magazine: “I knew there would be lots of opinions about, ‘Well, why didn’t you adopt? Why didn’t you do this? Why didn’t you do that?’ and the truth of the matter is, it wasn’t one or the other for us. We had explored, and continue to explore all options, and this one just happened first. This isn’t the period at the end of the sentence.”

Despite adoring her family, the actress admits she is worried her babies won’t like her when they are older and is concerned their feet will be too big for her huge collection of designer shoes. She explained: “I have a fear that they’re not going to like me. The only tragedy would be if their feet are bigger than mine.”
