  • Drew Barrymore Gives Birth to Baby Girl Frankie

    Drew Barrymore and husband Will Kopelman welcomed their second daughter on Tuesday.

    The 39-year-old Blended actress told People magazine the family was ecstatic to welcome little Frankie.

    “Happy to announce that today we are the proud parents of our second daughter, Frankie Barrymore Kopelman,” the former child star announced in a statement.

    “Olive has a new little sister, and everyone is healthy and happy!” she said.

    Barrymore’s first daughter, Olive, is now 19 months old and must be thrilled to have a baby sister.

    Barrymore tried to keep her first pregnancy on the down-low, but said people still asked her about it.

    For her second pregnancy, she was far more open about the new addition to the family by revealing the good news last November.

    “She [Olive] definitely gets it,” Barrymore told The Hollywood Reporter at the time. “She points to my stomach and goes ‘baby.’ How cool is that?”

    When she revealed that she was having another daughter, the Wedding Singer actress said she was relieved.

    “I’m relieved I’m having another girl. I have everything I need. It’s all about hand-me-downs and room sharing and all that stuff,” she told People in February about being mom to two little girls. “I’m pretty psyched about that!”

    Barrymore spoke to Wonderall a few weeks ago about her second pregnancy, juggling work and her experiences as a mom to daughter Olive.

    “They’re terribly different,” she explained at a Safe Kids Day event. “The first time you’re scared because you don’t know what’s happening. The second time is hard because you’re tired because you have a toddler.”

    Barrymore acknowledged the effort it takes to be a good mother is daunting, but says she would’t change it for the world.

    “It’s all so worth it and important,” said the former child actor.

    Barrymore and Kopelman – Barrymore’s third husband – were married in June 2012.

  • Drew Barrymore Gushes on Pregnancy, Motherhood

    As every momma knows, every pregnancy — just like every child — is a different experience.

    Drew Barrymore recently talked to Wonderall about her second pregnancy, juggling work and her experiences as a mom to daughter Olive.

    “They’re terribly different,” she explained at a Safe Kids Day event. “The first time you’re scared because you don’t know what’s happening. The second time is hard because you’re tired because you have a toddler.”

    Barrymore acknowledged the effort it takes to be a good mother is daunting, but says she would’t change it for the world.

    “It’s all so worth it and important,” said the former child actor.

    Juggling motherhood with her career as an actress and owner of her cosmetics line, Flower Beauty, keeps the Never Been Kissed actress on her toes. And like most mothers, she is learning her limitations and the sacrifices needed to be a good mother.

    “I don’t work as much,”said Barrymore. “I know I’m prolific and I take on a lot of diverse different projects, but I spend a lot of time with my kids. I think that’s the most important thing.”

    Barrymore admitted during the Safe Kids Day event to being a relatively fearful momma.

    “I’ve never been so worried in my life about making sure that something I care about more than I’ve ever cared in my life is safe and intact,” she said.

    “I try to have a sense of humor about how [much] you need to learn and tackle, and how to remain fun-loving and not, like, uptight because there’s so much to care about and to learn about.”

    The 39-year-old actress says tips from other mothers help her a great deal — some obvious, some less obvious.

    “It’s all different weird tips about like never take your eyes off your kid when they’re in the bathtub or sleep training advice — all these things I’ve picked up along the way,” she said. “I love learning all of it.”

    And just like every other momma, Barrymore seems to really enjoy experiencing the milestones of her 1-year-old girl.

    “Stairs are a big thing. We’re in constant stair training. I want her to conquer stairs early.”

    Barrymore says she has a baby name picked out for number two, but is keeping it on the down-low.

  • Drew Barrymore Expecting Second Child

    Drew Barrymore announced that she is expecting her second child. Barrymore gave birth to her first child, daughter Olive, 13 months ago. Many celebrity choose to have their children close together.

    Barrymore said that family and friends suspected she was pregnant for a while and she finally decided to come public with her pregnancy because she was tired of all the questions.

    “Last time I never commented on it and people just stalked me the entire time,” Barrymore told People magazine. “So yes, it’s happening, it’s true. I tried to keep it a secret for as long as possible.”

    She went on to say that she is very excited about expecting again and to be able to share the experience with her daughter Olive. She is also happy that Olive with not be an only child.

    “I grew up as an only child, and although that really works for some people and for some parents that’s the way they want to do it … I want to be the Griswolds,” she said, referring to actor Chevy Chase’s family from the “National Lampoon’s Vacation” films. “I want the kids in the back rolling their eyes at Mom and Dad. I want Rusty and Audrey, theme parks and the whole nine.”

    Barrymore did not say how far along she is in her pregnancy, when she will know the baby’s sex or if she has picked out any names for her unborn child.
