Jessica Alba and husband Cash Warren are preparing for the arrival of their second child. At the same time, they're preparing daughter Honor Marie, 3, for the arrival of the baby. She wrote in an iVillage blog post, "We [Jessica & Cash] talk about how impressed we are that she doesn't have to have her fruit cut up into small pieces anymore and gets desserts like cupcakes and ice cream. She gets to go potty in the toilet and doesn't have to wear diapers anymore. She gets to have a lollipop or gets to chew gum as a special treat (as long as she throws it away and doesn't swallow it!). She can ride a scooter, and she can sit in a big-girl swing. So I emphasize all these awesome things that she gets to do that the baby won't be able to do. And she gets excited about having someone in the house that's younger than her, who doesn't get to do all these awesome things either (hee hee)."

Jessica is looking forward to the arrival of her second child, "I'm excited, nervous and ready." The idea of loving the baby as much as Honor hasn't completely sunk in yet, "but I know I will and I can't wait." The best part of her pregnancy? "We get to bond while the baby is growing - reaching each milestone, feeling hiccups, kicks, rolling around. It's the blessing I think we get for all the round-ligament pain, sciatic pain and frequent trips to the bathroom."
