"We're Making People"

Christopher Rich and Wife Eva Ready Their Lives for Twins

By Laurie L. Dove

Pages:  1  2  3  4  5  

"That certainly makes us bond," Chris says, laughing.

A Mom in the Making
Eva and Chris already have the date set for a Cesarean delivery, but are hoping the babies arrive vaginally before the scheduled procedure. And, while Eva plans to breastfeed, she's a bit apprehensive about the logistics. "I'm going to try breastfeeding," she says. "I can't imagine how to physically do it. How will I hold both babies? But I'm definitely going to try."

While she's contemplating such things, Eva's ordered two cribs, and as an artist, she has plenty of ideas for nursery d袯r. "I'm excited to have a painter come in and put stripes on the walls," she says.

"Stripes?" says Chris, laughing, then recovers. "The other thing I've learned is that pregnant women are always right."

While the two search for a compromise on their babies' nursery design, Eva is working hard to come to terms with what life will mean with twins. "I can't even imagine having two babies," Eva says. "I really don't know what to expect. It's exciting and terrifying."

Life After Babies
Eva has been so absorbed in the impending births, she's not given much thought to resuming her career. "I'm sure I'm going to go back, but it all depends how much I want to stay home," she says. "I'm fortunate that with Chrissy, it's possible for me not to work."

While Chris' role on Reba will continue to occupy his time eight months out of the year, he'll spend the babies' first four months of life at home. "I get to be a stay-at-home dad," says Chris, who is a 20-minute commute from an average 9-to-2 day on the set. "I have the best life."
