Sarah Jessica Parker burst into a fit of giggles when she learned she was having twins.
The Sex and City star and her husband, Matthew Broderick, are expecting the babies through a surrogate.
And Parker — who already has a son, James — says she can’t wait to become a mom again.
“I mean, giggles!” Sarah told Access Hollywood of her reaction when she was told she’d be welcoming twins. “We didn’t expect it. I think after a certain amount of time, you tend to hold your hopes at bay a bit so as not to be disappointed.
“One really would have been thrilling and we would’ve felt incredibly lucky. And two was a comedy!”
The actress says she has been open with her son about the surrogacy, but at first refrained from telling him too much.
“I’ve been pretty candid with him,” she said. “I kind of chartered my own course with him because we wanted to keep this quiet and so I wanted to be very careful about telling him so he wasn’t burdened with a secret. On the other hand, I wanted him to have time to adjust to the idea of sharing his mama and his papa.”
“I feel very excited about the fact that my son is of an age now where he really will be helpful,” she added. “He’s really excited. He’s very much ready to be an older brother. I think it gives him a great sense of pride. It’s wonderful and I just hope for their safe arrival.”
Parker admits she’s “outraged” that her surrogate has been identified and pursued by the media.
“I am incredibly outraged by the sort of extraordinary and unprecedented invasion of her privacy,” she said.
“The most unsavory things have been done. She’s had her phone hacked, her personal computer information hacked, she’s had threats against her and true harassment… She’s had friends threatened and family threatened and she’s had family of friends threatened.”
