Jenny McCarthy, 34, told People last evening that she’s happy with her pride and joy, son Evan Joseph, 5.

I’m completely fine not having any more children. I completely love mine, and I love giving him all of my attention.

When asked how Evan is progressing, she replies,

He’s doing great! I pick him up from preschool, take him to gym class, thenspeech therapy. I take him home, we play, I feed him, I give him a bathand then I read him a bedtime story and put him to bed. So that’s myworkout.

Jenny’s latest book, Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism is out on September 6th.

The View co-host Rosie O’Donnell, guest host Jenny McCarthy, and guest Marcia Cross discussed their experiences with c-sections this morning on the show. Marcia said,

And whoever said that was easy?! I did not enjoy that, not for one minute…I heard Savannah come out cause I knew she was coming out first and Iwas waiting and waiting for Eden. But I didn’t realize they got themout so fast that they were both out. I was thinking something is wrongand she was already out. 

Jenny agreed, saying, ‘It’s horrible, it’s horrible — it’s hard when they have you strapped down ’cause you’re like, ‘I just want to hold my baby!” Rosie shared, ‘[My wife] Kelli had one too [with their daughter Vivi] and she was in bed for a long time afterwards.’ Joy lightened the mood, saying, ‘But the babies probably look beautiful, because they don’t have to go through that tunnel — they don’t get mushed — their head squashed. They just come out — ‘Hi, I’m gorgeous!”

Rosie said, ‘I always thought, if you don’t believe in God, watch a baby get born — and it will change your perspective. It was really the most amazing thing I’ve ever witnessed in my life.’ Jenny agreed, saying, ‘Your heart — you feel it explode.’

About her twin daughters Eden and Savannah, Marcia said,

I’m so deliriously happy, I just can’t even breathe. They’re fraternal and they’re already so different, they’re just completely different beings. They’re on the same schedule right from the beginning – every three hours.They’re still in that narcissistic phase – ‘No, I’m the only baby. No, I’m the only baby.’ 

She shared the story again about how the girls’ got their names, and mentioned, ‘I don’t think Tom was crazy about Eden, but he went with it.’

Marcia also mentioned that she’s a fan of The View - she tapes it and watches it while she pumps her milk!

What was your c-section experience? Do you agree with Rosie and Jenny’s views on witnessing birth?

Actress Jenny McCarthy, who has written several humorous books on pregnancy, motherhood, and moving on, tackles a more serious topic with her next tome – her son Evan Joseph, 4 1/2, battles autism. Her latest book, Louder Than Words: A Mother’s Journey in Healing Autism, will be out on September 6th. Jenny describes it as ‘a heartbreaking story about a serious health issue.’

Jenny, who runs IndigoMoms.com, is of the belief that Evan is a ‘crystal child,’ and she herself is an ‘adult indigo.’ This belief suggests that ‘indigo/crystal phenomenon is the next step in our evolution as a human species.’ Proponents also suggest that many indigo and crystal children are wrongly diagnosed with ADD, ADHD, and autism. Starchild has more information, for those interested.

Jenny says that, ‘Evan is sensitive to air and water, he’s that hypersensitive,’ so she’s had to adjust her parenting. You can read an essay on the indigo/crystal belief that she wrote in 2006 for Children of The New Earth magazine by clicking here.

CBB reader Emma’s Mom knows Jenny and leaves this comment,

I thought you all should know that I happen to know that Jenny does take it very seriously and has Evan in a really great program at UCLA for autistic kids and it has nothing to do with the indigo/crystal thing.  She is, from what I have seen, an absolutely wonderful, loving mom of her kid. 

Having experience with a few autistic kids myself and following a few adult autistics I can tell you that what she is doing is interesting. She’s removing the ‘there’s something broken in my child and adding ‘there is something special in my child that others don’t see.’  I love that, personally, as I too see the something special in there. 

It doesn’t replace therapy and it doesn’t spew fake science.   I just had to step in here and defend her from these, what I consider to be, unfair attacks.

Actress Jenny McCarthy, 34, was spotted out on a shopping trip with beau Jim Carrey’s, 45, daughter Jane, 19. They started at the Chip & Pepper warehouse where they purchased matching University of Maryland sweatshirts. TMZ cameras caught them wearing these and the video can be watched at their website. Jane is not the blonde girl in the beginning, behind Jenny, who’s actually her sister Amy, but the dark-haired girl at the very end when they’re all getting into the car. Jane is Carrey’s only child; Jenny has son Evan, 4, with ex-husband John Asher, 36.
