(The couple welcomed daughter Violet in December 2005; Seraphina was born in January 2009.)

"She's always wanted three kids," a source tells Us Weekly. "This was her plan all along."

How does Garner, who next appears in the ensemble comedy Butter (opposite Ty Burrell, Ashley Greene, Hugh Jackman and Olivia Wilde), juggle motherhood with her busy acting career?

"You have to have a great nanny and you have to have a supportive husband," Garner told Us in April. "We figure it out day by day. It's always messy and it's never as glamorous as people think it is, but we get through, and as long as the kids are happy, it's all good."

    I hope it's a boy. They seem like really great parents and people and try and stay away from the spotlight when not shooting films.

    yay! i hope it's a boy!

    I'm happy for them! I hope this time it's a boy! This is a very down to earth family and both Violet and Seraphina are being raised as normal kids; they dress as normal children not as a mini version of their parents. Everytime you see these little girls they are smiling and enjoying life. They are happy for sure and that's because they have wonderful parents. It doesn't matter whether they are good or bad actors, that's not the point here. They are very good parents. Maybe Stefani or the Cruises could learn something!

    @Cristina No. I sometimes see photos of her with her kids. almost never see HIM with them. am not impressed with either of these two.

    @Filomena Araujo, then perhaps you should go read another site. This is, after all, celebrity news. @Melanie Caiazza, that's what works for them. I think a great majority of parents would get some sort of help if they could afford it. They may have a nanny, but you always see them with their kids.

  • August 23, 2011 - 7:32am Sarah Keck

    Everyone she was pregnant! hahhahah Any way congrats. I honestly did not see tha coming.

  • August 23, 2011 - 7:07am Melanie Caiazza

    "You have to have a great nanny" ? There are tons of 2-income (non-$$$celebrity$$$ families who do it all, and more, without a nanny! those are the ones to admire. man. that statement really bugs me. :\

  • August 23, 2011 - 4:07am Jesse Andrew

    She always wanted three kids? Yea, right. She just wants a boy. Watch, she'll have a girl and get knocked up again and the source will say "she always wanted four kids."

  • August 23, 2011 - 1:46am Carol Hilst
