Check out quotes and photos from the co-ed shower below!
On how her pregnancy is going:
Ana Ortiz: “I am so lucky. I have had an amazing pregnancy. I actually love being pregnant. My husband [Noah Lebenzon] is such a champion. Every day he tells me how beautiful I look and you can’t ask for anything better than that. You really can’t. We’re just so excited. I feel so much energy. I was so supported at my job.”
AO: “We have a short list I’m going to walk into the hospital with. And then I figure when I see her, [we’ll know]. I have my favorite. My husband has his favorite. He gets the last name so I get the first name. I feel like that’s fair.”
On working onUgly Bettywhile expecting:
AO: “The funniest thing in the world is to see these giant Teamsters — these grips, electricians, macho men who are gruff every day … literally I would come in and they would be like, ‘Get out of the way, she needs a chair!’ They turn into mushy teddy bears. Half of them are comparing their bellies with mine saying, ‘I got a bigger belly than you still.’ It’s been a remarkable experience.
Being pregnant at work has been a blessing. I feel like being a working mom…I wouldn’t have it any other way. It’s helped me maintain my energy and focus. I’m not constantly freaking out about things which I think I would have done normally.”
On Ana’s favorite part of the shower:
AO: “You don’t get a chance to have your whole family and all your friends in the same room at the same time. It’s such a rare occasion — especially because I’ve lived on both coasts so I have [friends there too]. The fact that people actually came from LA just to be here today is amazing. It’s such a joyous occasion. People brought their babies. It’s a day of happiness and new beginnings.”
TheUgly Bettycast loves babies:
Getting advice from Vanessa Williams:
AO: “She’s a fountain of knowledge. Plus, she has four kids and she looks likethat! I followed her around with a notepad going, ‘Okay, what are you doing? It got personal. I asked about breastfeeding, delivery, being a working mom…
Her kids are so wonderful, so well-adjusted and polite and funny and smart. So I’m like, ‘Vanessa, how did you manage to [have] this career with all the madness and still have well-balanced kids?’ There is so much to it. She says, ‘I spend time with them. Where I go, they go.’ It’s about being there. They also understand that her work is important as well.”
Vanessa Williams: “She always asks for advice. I’m the go-to person because I’ve had four. From nursing to sore nipples, we can talk about it all!”
On what makes Ana a hot mom:
VW: “It’s her attitude. She’s not giving up her life for her pregnancy. The fact that she canget up on a platform at a club and danceand look fantastic. We were at America’s 25th birthday party/wrap party and we were all dancing on wooden platform!”
