Her third pregnancy was “a huge surprise” for Alicia Coppola and her family.
Taken aback when she discovered she was expecting a third daughter in March, the actress admits the idea took a bit of getting used to.
“Once we all got over the shock, the awe set in,” she reveals in the March issue of Pregnancy.
One of Alicia’s greatest supports has undoubtedly been her daughter, Mila Rose.
The 7-year-old, upon hearing the news, offered her mother wisdom wise beyond her years, leaving Alicia to marvel at the child’s insight.
“When we told my eldest, Mila, she was thoughtful for a bit and said, ‘You know, Mommy, sometimes God gives us something we are not prepared for.’ Truer words were never spoken.”
Not to be outdone by her sister, soon-to-be big sister Esmé Marlena, 14 months, has also stepped up to the plate! “[She] points to my belly, then hers and says, ‘Baby,’” notes Alicia.
Thrilled to see her daughters already adjusting to baby girl’s impending arrival — revealing that they “all can’t wait to meet this little girl” — Alicia, 41, suggests older children should strive for a similar attitude.
“My advice to any older child welcoming a sibling is to love that baby … he or she might, one day, be your best friend.”
