  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. |
