What they’re saying

“What these babies are going to get from J and I is more childlike parents. Because when we had Bailee, we were both getting sober. We were evolving. We were growing — we grew with Bailee. And I think this next set of children for us are gonna get the kid versions of us. We're going to get to live our childhoods through them, so we're really excited about that.”

“From the baby stage, I've never got to experience that. Neither has my husband, because he hasn't been with the women that he had babies with, so he got to miss out on a lot of the baby moments.”

“Bailee was actually against it in the beginning. She [said], 'I'm your baby. What do you mean you want to have another? I'm all you need.' And we kind of let her sit with it for a little bit. She came back to me probably four or five days later and she was like, 'Mom, I would love for you and my dad to have a baby together.' And that's all I needed.”
