 Volleyball
player Gabrielle Reece
and husband Laird Hamilton,
43, welcomed their
second child
together, daughter Brody Jo,
on New Years day, and the family is quickly adjusting to having
a new baby in the house. Although older daughter
Reece does have her
moments!
"Brody decided to come on the 1st of the year (makes
the math easy), and gratefully is a healthy baby. Reece is
transitioning as well as a four year old can (occasionally
letting us know she feels jealous).
I always say when you have a new baby it feels as if time is
standing still and one does become a Dairy Queen open 24 hours a
day. I'm not sure if it's being a bit sleep deprived, but
new babies create the dream effect. The comedy really
begins because only the Mommy is in the dream, and the rest of
the family is plodding along per usual. I catch Laird
looking at me occasionally like 'Huh???"
The 38-year-old mom is trying her best to keep the milk
flowing for the new baby, which includes drinking a dark beer
nightly.
"I feel like I can't get enough calories to feed this child.
I start each morning with a protein shake made with Hemp milk
(chocolate or vanilla), a banana, protein powder, and a bit of
peanut or almond butter. It's quick and a good way to get
something in my body while getting Reece set for breakfast, and
I can do it one handed if I have Brody.
I don't drink alcohol but I have one dark beer at night and the
yeast helps me make more milk. Let's see the guys have
that excuse for drinking beer!"
Gabrielle is known for staying fit and that is no different
now that she just had a baby. She couldn't wait to start working
out, but the fact that she needed to have a c-section did delay
things a bit.
