Longoria explained toExtrathat being a mom is “a lot of work, but it’s effortless ’cause you want to be with him all the time. I get the whole tired thing … I have to feed him every three hours. At night, I miss him when he’s sleeping so it’s not like, ‘Yay, I get to sleep three hours!’ I’m like, ‘Ugh, I guess I will go to sleep.’ ”
Even though Longoria is alreadywatching her first little one growup fast — “I’m like, ‘Stop growing!’ He’s gonna be 18 and have a job soon,” the actress joked toET— she hasn’t thought about growing her family further. (Bastón, 50, has three children from a previous marriage.)
