Sarah Jessica Parker: 'We're Doubly Blessed'

“Nothing can really describe” life with 5-month-old twins Marion Loretta Elwell and Tabitha Hodge, but proud mom Sarah Jessica Parker does her best to try in the January issue of Glamour.
“We didn’t plan on having two, but were doubly blessed and it’s been just wonderful.”
Noting the “untraditional way” in which she and husband Matthew Broderick welcomed their girls — via surrogate — the 44-year-old actress says that the situation has been “very different” than their experience with son James Wilkie, 7.
What’s more, there are even stark differences between the twins themselves! Sarah Jessica shares,
“One would prefer to be held 24 hours a day, and the other is already suffering from type A issues. It’s been amazing but complicated because of my current work schedule, which I have enormous regrets about.”
To that end, Sarah Jessica admits that she’s struggling to balance career with family, a state of being she describes as “the eternal conflict of every working woman.” At the same time she acknowledges that her circumstances are unique.
“I am not complaining, because I’ve done this to myself,” she points out. “And I have a wonderful, wonderful nanny who allows me to be a working person.”
“The great challenge for me is to be all things to all people; I want to be a great mother, and I want to feel good when I’m at work. But it is hard.”
