Soleil Moon Frye, Melissa Joan Hart talk about being pregnant together
Although they have different parenting styles and different outlooks on pregnancy, actresses and friends Soleil Moon Frye and Melissa Joan Hart -- both 31 -- are thrilled to be expecting babies at the same time. The pregnancies are the second for both women, with Soleil already mom to 2-year-old Poet Sienna Rose and Melissa mom to Mason Walter, turning 2 next month. Says Soleil,
We could not be more different as moms but I completely respect her as a mother and I think there's a mutual respect there and it's nice because you find the balance. I thought I would be the mom that would be like 'Oh, go ahead, do anything!' and of course, I'm the one running after [Poet] saying 'Be careful!' You're so the opposite of what you think you're going to be.
When Melissa called Soleil to share the news of her pregnancy, Soleil -- who had been trying to keep her pregnancy a secret -- blurted out her own happy news, and the two soon realized that they were due just one day apart, they told Entertainment Tonight. Melissa admitted that at first she was not excited to be expecting again.
I had a little different experience though -- I cried for two days...I was like, 'No I can't be pregnant! Not again, not now.' I was thinking I won't get to snowboard this season, and now I gotta fight the weight thing again...the indigestion and the feet hurting. My mom had seven, and I thought that it was just going to be so great and easy and I was going to love it, but [being pregnant] is not what I thought it was going to be. It's so hard!
Soleil, on the other hand, said that she was "so excited" to be expecting.
I love being pregnant!
Both women agree that being pregnant the second time around is much different. For starters, Melissa noted, chasing after a toddler doesn't leave much time to think about the baby that's on the way.
[With a first pregnancy], you're reading all the books, laying in bed playing music twice a day, learning all the rules and just being pregnant. And then of course the baby comes and you're like, 'Woo! Hello, here it is.'
Added Soleil,
[With this pregnancy], I'm chasing after [Poet], I have the store, I'm so busy that I haven't had a chance to focus on the pregnancy...And, I have to say, the husbands who are so incredible that first pregnancy -- 'What do you need babe? How are you?'...with my husband [now], I'm like, 'Honey, do you realize I'm pregnant? Can you please help me pick up the baby?'
Melissa adds,
My husband -- I'm like, 'It's kicking, it's kicking!' and he's like, 'I can't touch it every time it kicks!'
Soleil is married to director Jason Goldberg; Melissa is married to rocker Mark Wilkerson. Both women are due in March.
