NICOLE SULLIVAN: ‘I’M LUCKY I GOT PREGNANT AT 38’
NICOLE SULLIVAN: ‘I’M LUCKY I GOT PREGNANT AT 38’
Rita Rocks star and MADtv alum Nicole Sullivan is known for delivering laughs. But delivering her second son, Beckett, on Aug. 31 was a major reality check for the actress. “I’m no spring chicken,” Nicole, who turned 39 in April, told Life & Style during an exclusive interview at her LA home on Sept. 23. “I feel very lucky I got pregnant twice.”
Although she didn’t experience the same levels of nausea, sciaticnerve pain or insomnia that she did while pregnant with her eldest son, Dashel, now 2, Beckett’s arrival had its share of complications. Nicole had planned to give birth to the 8 ½ -pound bundle of joy naturally, but the newborn was breech (turned feetfirst) and had to be delivered by Caesarean section. With that successful surgery behind her, Nicole’s happily adjusting to being outnumbered by men, including her hubby (actor and comedian Jason Packham), in her household. “It looks like it’s farts and basketball for the rest of my life,” she quips. “That’s the life I’ve been handed.”
For now, Nicole’s just excited to get back to work on the second season of Rita Rocks, her Lifetime series. Her mom plans to baby-sit Beckett so that Nicole can visit him between takes, while Jason and a nanny take care of Dash. “My co-star Tisha Campbell-Martin gave birth to a boy a week after me,” says Nicole. “We’re going to have two babies on the set. It’s going to be really fun.”
