Jen looks stunning in this picture, so serene. And what cute shoes! Love this family

- Jen on January 21st, 2009

She looks Great!!! Just 2 weeks after giving birth?!?!? Wow!
She must be so happy to have her body back!
Can’t wait to see pictures of little Seraphina!!

- Jae on January 21st, 2009

Jen looks great!I can’t believe she had a baby just two weeks ago!Can’t wait to see Seraphina,I hope she looks like Violet with a bit of their parents(especially Ben since Violet is a jen mini me)

- SARA on January 21st, 2009

I think this is a BEAUTIFUL picture. She looks so happy, and the shoes are so cute! She was captured in such a sweet moment, relaxed, and full of joy, at least, that’s what I get from this picture. Congrats on the new baby! What a great family!

Not bad after giving birth just for 2 weeks! She’s already lost sooo much weight!

- Henrietta on January 21st, 2009

what else to say : she looks great !!!

- martyna on January 21st, 2009

Ya know…I love Jennifer and Ben…but this picture makes me sick! No really I am happy for her. She looks wonderful and happy herself! Can’t wait to see pictures of Seraphina but I am sure they want this precious time to themselves. Who wouldn’t?!

- Leigh on January 21st, 2009

She looks awesome and so happy! I almost forgot that she had Serephina already. I was thinking, where is her belly, something is missing! Can’t wait to see the new little darling.

- Stacie on January 21st, 2009

Except for the boobs, you would never know she just gave birth 2 weeks ago!

- Laura on January 21st, 2009

They just seem so genuinely happy together. I love this little family.

- Dawn on January 21st, 2009

Have any of the birth details been released? I was wondering if she had a c-section since we are just seeing her 2 weeks later and that is the normal time before you can drive, etc after having a csection. She also is not carrying Violet like she usually does and after recovering from a csection you cannot carry anything heavy, especially a 3 year old. It could just be a coincidence but it had me wondering. Other websites are speculating too.

- Laura on January 21st, 2009

I doubt it. She didn’t have a c-section with Violet and Victor Garber said the birth was easier this time so I would think not. I agree with everyone, she looks wonderful.

- Brandi on January 21st, 2009

We don’t know that she didn’t have a csection last time or this time either. Birth is easier with the 2nd c section as well. I doubt they will ever release that either.

- Amanda on January 21st, 2009

When Violet was born a nurse at the hospital gave information to Us Weekly and Jennifer had a vaginal birth from what was published at that time. They also had Violet’s weight and her name and some other details. I am a big Ben fan and remember it well.

- Brandi on January 21st, 2009

I doubt the length of time before we’ve seen her has any bearing on what kind of birth she had. I am not due for a couple of weeks so I don’t know what it’s like, but I’m not planning on leaving the house for a couple of weeks after having the baby, and that’s if I have a vaginal birth.

- MZ on January 21st, 2009

Still glowing, beautiful au naturale! And in amazing shape too. She’s one of the best celebrity rolemodels out there, in my opinion.

- Kait on January 21st, 2009

She’s just gorgeous, even more so than before–if that’s possible!

I can’t wait to see little Miss Seraphina!

- bungalowbliss on January 21st, 2009

Jen looks great, and can’t wait to see the baby. I hope this one looks like ben, just because violet is a clone of jen. They are a cute family.

- gianna on January 21st, 2009

She looks amazing! Just 2 weeks after giving birth? Are you kidding me? She looks fantastic! I love how happy and peaceful she looks. I am so, so anxious to see photos of Seraphina but I have a feeling we might have to wait a while.

- Stephany on January 21st, 2009

She looks great!!
I love her outfit.

- Brooklyn on January 21st, 2009

She looks amazing, albeit a tad tired lol! I bet we won’t be seeing Seraphina for a while though and it’ll be paparazzi photos if we do as they didn’t release any pics of Violet after her birth.

- Chloe on January 21st, 2009

I WANT THOSE SHOES!

- Caroline on January 21st, 2009

There is photos of Serephina at the parking lot going to the
doctors.. with Jen’s nanny..of course Jen put a blanket over
her precious little daughter..It is so nice to see Jen again..

Since it will be another 8 years before the next election..!!
She does look very happy …so does Vi to have her mom back..

- Jared Snyard on January 21st, 2009

In regards to C-sections, I was told by my OB/GYN that I should not drive, lift anything heavier that 10-lbs, etc. for SIX weeks after having the surgery! At least that’s what I was told for BOTH of my C-sections….?!

- Shay on January 21st, 2009

Jen didn’t drive that car her assistant did from the looks of the other sites. She isn’t driving or picking up Violet.

- Amanda on January 21st, 2009

Jen looks so happy and healthy. I adore her and really missed seeing her for two weeks. I can’t wait to see the new baby.

- Rosy J on January 21st, 2009

I was driving 4 days after my c-section… out of the hospital in less than 48 hours. I think it really depends on the woman….

- Sandi on January 21st, 2009

I had a csection with my first and they say you cannot drive or lift anything heavier than 10lbs for two weeks after. I am probably going to have another csection in about a month and my OB told me the same thing again…no driving for 2 weeks. And she did say the 2nd csection is easier than the first.

- Laura on January 21st, 2009

My doctor told me not to lift anything heavy after a vaginal birth (my baby was 10lb 1oz) which i think is sensible for any new mother regardless of how the baby is delivered. Media interest in this baby has been even greater than with Violet. Jennifer has probably stayed at home because of this.

- fifofum on January 21st, 2009

She looks so pretty without even trying! I really love this pic.

- jasmine on January 21st, 2009

Those shoes are cute by the way, I always wanted ruby red slippers as a kid. Kinda still do, haha.

- jasmine on January 21st, 2009

Jared Synard- Really? It sounds really odd that Jen would have her nanny take her newborn to the doctor. Or was she there, too?

- CelebBabyLover on January 22nd, 2009

Wow, she looks so happy and relaxed and beautifully healthy! And i want those shoes too!!!!
Also, Jen is wearing a new necklace, much like the cartier three diamond necklace she has been wearing since the birth of Vi, but now with four diamonds on it, two being ruby color from the look of the photos. Representing the new addition of Seraphina and Violet??? It’s Beautiful! I love that idea.

- Danielle on January 22nd, 2009

I don’t think she had much weight to loose – she didn’t gain much with baby #2.

- Annie Downing on January 22nd, 2009

CeleBabyLover to answer your question about the doctor visit, Jen, the nanny and body guard took Seraphina to the medical center as Ben was working at the Sundance Festival that weekend. This was from the same day she and her assistant put Violet down at school that morning.

- Rosy J on January 22nd, 2009

She looks absolutely beautiful!
