SH- I agree! In fact, I think that, once Baby Affleck is born, we’ll be seeing a lot of pictures of Ben taking Violet out for daddy-daughter time, just as we’ve seen plenty of pictures of Gavin Rossdale taking Kingston out for daddy-son time since Zuma was born.

My oldest, a girl, had just turned 3 when I had my 3rd baby. When I brought the new baby home I understood why people space their kids 3 years apart. WAY different than when they’re 18 months. I have 4, they’re all about 18 months apart. 3 years old is a good age for a new baby and I bet Violet will do very well with little jealousy since it seems that Jen and Ben will see that she gets the attention she needs while tending to the new one.

I hope the baby ISN’T born on Violet’s birthday! Vi needs her own day! Can you imagine what it would be like to have mommy in the hospital on your third birthday?

As for the baby’s gender…I’m actually thinking that it’ll be another girl. Casey and Summer (Ben’s brother and sister-in-law) have the boys in the family (they have two, Indiana and Atticus), so I think Ben and Jen will have the girls in the family.

I think Sara is probably right about Jen’s due date and possibly gender, but we’ll have to see.

Violet is too cute!
And I think that Jen she’s due late November early December.It will be cute if the baby will born on December 1st,Violet’s third birthday.I also think that she’ll have a baby boy

Awww that’s so cute how Jenn kisses her hand and makes everything alright again …. then Violet’s all smiles again

MB- ITA! And who’s to say that Jen WON’T carry both Vi and the new baby? Plenty of celebs carry two kids at the same time (Angelina Jolie has done this, as has, I believe, Heidi Klum).

Anyway, I wonder why she brought the nanny with her, especially since she seems like such a hands-on mom (not criticzing, just wondering?)?

I have a feeling little violet will get jealous of the new sibling. She seems to get a lot of attention and carried a lot, and since she will be 3 when the baby is born, she is old enough to know a new baby is around. She is quite tall for 2 1/2yrs old. My cousin just had a baby and her daughter who is 3 got quite jealous, but it’s getting better now as a month went by

I wouldn’t worry about the Violet carrying. I think Jen’s doc would have told her if it was an issue. Lots of women carry kids when pregnant. I also bet she is only carrying Violet when there are a lot of paps around, so it’s probably not a habit. Who knows though? I just know they’re an adorable family

Adorableee! I fyou look at all the pics you’ll see that Jennifer actually picked Violet up because she was crying.. maybe she fell down and hurt her hand a little or something.. plus there’s the paparazzi around.
