Like, are they out of their frickin MINDS?
Twilight star Nikki Reed and her husband, Vampire Diaries actor Ian Somerhalder, have told the world that they’re going to be completely unreachable for the first month of their soon-to-arrive first baby’s life. No visitors, no social media, and most terrifying of all, they’re turning off their phones. FOR A MONTH. They plan to be totally unreachable and want to be present and stuff, because, you know, they’re from L.A.
While this “just the three of us” cocoon of domestic bliss sounds like a good idea, as every mom who has seen her birth plan melt down into a juicy orgy of garbage fire, sometimes your best-laid plans don’t have a way of working out, especially when it comes to babies. Here are some things we need to know.
