Marcia Cross out for "me" time

Just Jared has new photos of actress Marcia Cross out in Santa Monica on Sunday. It looks as if the  Desperate Housewives star decided to take some "me" time, catching up with her friends for some gal-bonding mani-pedis and coffee. After having her fun, Marcia ran some family errands, picking up groceries and flowers at Whole Foods Market.

Marcia and her stockbroker hubby, Tom Mahoney, have been busy with their 6-week-old baby girls, fraternal twins Eden and Savannah.

Did you take some "me" time shortly after giving birth? How important was it for you or your significant other to have some time out of the house after having children?

If you had a child in the NICU, how long were they in there for?

Celebrity Twins for 2007

As if 2006 hasn’t already been the year of the Gemini, producing so many twin births that we can’t even keep up, it seems the trend will continue into the new year. Here’s a look at just some of the celebrities expecting twins in 2007:

Desperate Housewives star Marcia Cross has had a whirlwind year and the fun is only going to continue for this primetime actress. 44-year-old Marcia married her beau, stockbroker Tom Mahoney, after many years of wondering if she would ever get her fairytale of having her very own family. As if marrying the man she loved wasn’t enough, shortly after the couple’s June nuptials, Marcia found out that she was expecting and not just one baby, but fraternal twins. Marcia and Tom have recently admitted that theyknow the sex or sexes of their babies, who are due in April, but will keep that secret for now.
