PASSIONS Interview

Liza Huber (Gwen)
— NBC

Mother's (Work) Day

Digest: Did you bring a brag book to work?
Huber: Oh, yes! I actually brought Royce to the set a couple of weeks before I went back because once you go back, you're too busy.

Digest: Have you run into any fans while out with Royce yet?
Huber: In the airport, when we flew with him to Florida. People are so sweet. People are so nice and supportive.

Digest: How was he on the flight?
Huber: He's a great traveler. It was four hours going there and then like five coming back. Coming back was rougher because we were really delayed in the airport. He was good, but you have to make sure you're prepared. I had my breast pump with me. I was pumping in the plane and in the airport, and I also brought formula and a thousand diapers and toys.

Digest: Are you shy when it comes to breast-feeding in public?
Huber: I don't think anyone should ever breast-feed in public. It's a beautiful thing between a mother and a child, but it's not a beautiful thing between a mother, a child and a restaurant or the airport. I think you should be respectful to people around you. And I'm pumping now, actually. He gets all breast milk, but I pump because I like to know how much he's getting. You just don't know how much he's getting otherwise. I nursed for the first month, but then I got on the pump because I wanted Alex to feed him and bond with him — and Mommy gets a break, too.

Digest: Are you excited about your first Mother's Day as a mom?
Huber: I am! It falls on May 13, and 13 is our lucky number, so I thought that was cool. We'll probably stay at home, quiet. Maybe I'll get a massage. Alex is so great, I'm sure he will have something planned.

Digest: Is there anything you can tell us about Gwen's return?
Huber: In the two days that I've taped, it's pretty insane. Basically, I'm strapped down to a bed and screaming and being tortured and they won't tell me why, how, anything. So I don't know anything. My first day back, the prop guy was coming at me with these huge restraints. I screamed for a little bit and went home.

Digest: Great, no lines!
Huber: Just a couple, which is good because my memorizing skills are a little rusty at this point [laughs].
