OK! NEWS: JESSICA ALBA TAKES HONOR BABY SHOPPING FOR HER FUTURE SIBLING
In the new Spy Kids movie your character has retired to raise her family. Would you ever do that?
I knew I would never stop completely. Director Robert Rodriguez gave me quite a few pep talks about finding balance. I was really torn. But he is a father of five, and he encouraged me to go back to work —but do it in a way that I felt good about.
Did this role give you insight on what having a bigger family will be like?
Movie life never really prepares you for real life. It only gives you a paycheck so that you can afford real life!

Is Honor happy about the baby?
She is excited, but definitely a bit more cuddly, and she wants my attention more. She is a little more needy.
Are you a supermom?
No, I’m a trying-to-figure-it-out-one- day-at-a-time mom. I am doing the best I can. I feel as if there is always something that I am compromising, but I try my best.
