Rebecca Romijn

Rebecca Romijn is 16 months into motherhood and enjoying the first leg of the lifelong journey with twin daughters Dolly and Charlie O'Connell. "There's nothing dainty or delicate about these girls," the actress said during our recent interview. "But they are little princesses and we love them so much," she added. The former model and her husband, actor Jerry O'Connell are keeping their children's birth order under wraps, but she was candid when it came time to chat about being a mom.

LilSugar: Fill in the blank. You know you’re a mother when ____.
Rebecca Romijn: You know you're a mother when you feel yourself into the embrace of your baby for the first time and it's immediate. It happens as soon as they're born and it's an honor.

LilSugar: Fill in the blank. Why didn’t anybody tell me _____ about motherhood?
Rebecca Romijn: Why didn't anybody tell me that it continues to be really, really hard. Everyone kept telling me, "Oh don't worry after three months it gets so much easier" and then people go, "After eight months it gets so much easier". I haven't experienced when it gets easier and I have a feeling with twins it's going to be when they are a little bit older.

Dolly and Charlie O'Connell's parents are keeping a big secret! Rebecca Romijn and her husband Jerry may live public lives, but their 16-month-old daughters are no different from other tots — except they will likely never know which twin is older! We had the opportunity to chat with the model, actress, and mother yesterday while she was promoting Huggies' denim diapers. When asked about the personality differences between her darling duo, she said:

This may sound strange, but we decided before they were born — I had a c-section so they both came out at the same time — that they wouldn't know which one was born first. Technically, one did come out first, but we feel like a lot of twins get to brag —"I was born five minutes earlier. I was born first." and the truth is they shared the womb. We're also curious to see if the one who is older naturally takes on that first sibling role. On their birth certificates, they were born in the same minute. It was a conversation we had with the doctor before they were even born and so far it's worked out pretty well. They are both extremely strong willed and neither of them seems to be in charge of the other at all. They are young and developing their personalities and their relationship with each other so they don't need to know that information. Maybe when they are much older we'll tell them.

Kate Beckinsale brought her daughter Lily to check out the Gap's new 1969 Jeans Shop on Robertson Blvd in LA yesterday — get her look here. Jerry O'Connell opted got into the denim spirit with wife Rebecca Romijn, while Eva had some help browsing in her oversized sweater. While Desperate Housewives rolls on, Eva has been twittering up a storm about her recent escapades which included celebrating a day in her honor and posing with Jerry Seinfeld and Tina Fey while filming his new show The Marriage Ref.

Jenna Dewan looked great in her distressed denim heading back to her car after checking out the store and Selma Blair was spotted in her big sunglasses and buckle boots . Debra Messing didn't look like she was too interested in the pants, but she did keep her arms full of on trend plaid. Even Sarah Michelle Gellar stopped by though all the ladies, and token Jerry O'Connell, made it in and out before the rain hit in LA later in the afternoon.

It's a big night for ABC — the network is premiering three shows tonight including half of their new Wednesday block of comedy. Hank and The Middle will take over the 8 o'clock hour next week, but tonight brings a few shows I'm actually pretty excited about. First up is Modern Family which is one of my favorite new comedies and after you watch you'll see why we've been saying "Why the face?" to each other in the office for weeks already. The pilot of Cougar Town didn't thrill me, but Bill Lawrence and Courteney Cox eased my fears at the TCAs. Cougar Town has apparently undergone some changes before it hits the air tonight so I'm eager to see whether any of the jokes have gotten less cringe-worthy.

At 10 there's Eastwick starring Rebecca Romijn, Lindsay Price and Jaime Ray Newman. As for Paul Gross? Well you'll have to watch to find out exactly what's up with his otherworldly character. At times it's a little too Practical Magic meets Desperate Housewives, but enough happens in the first episode to keep me watching — at least for a few episodes. Considering how much I love Glee and So You Think You Can Dance — speaking of which don't miss our awesome new giveaway! — it's one of those nights I'm extra thankful for TiVo. What do you think, will any of these shows take a spot in your Wednesday night rotation?
