Six-months-pregnant Jennifer Lopez started preparing for her bundle of joy (or possibly two) with Marc Anthony more than two years ago, PageSix.com has learned. The sexy star oversaw the construction of a nursery in her hubby Marc’s $3.7 million Glen Head, New York, home in September 2005, shortly after the couple exchanged vows, according to a visitor who toured the suburban property.

“A frilly white bassinet, a wooden crib and a fancy, pastel-colored mobile were in the process of being set up in a light-blue room that had its own bathroom and a private hallway leading to the nanny’s quarters,” says the insider. “Plush baby dolls and soft toy animals were everywhere.” The room, located on the northernmost side of the estate’s second floor, was filled with 10 unopened boxes of newborn goodies, and another five enormous crates clogged the hallway leading to J. Lo and Marc’s master bedroom on the opposite side of the house — far enough away to ensure the dancing diva’s beauty sleep when needed!

Jennifer might have even more work cut out for her, considering she only prepared for one baby. If reports are to be believed, the luscious Latina is expecting twins. But obviously she’s not afraid of a challenge: Before she made over the mansion, it was decorated in a hunting theme, complete with plaid wallpaper and wooden mallards. J. Lo’s reinterpretation was featured in the fall/winter 2006 issue of Vogue Living.

For weeks she’s let her growing bump to do all the talking, but now Jennifer Lopez has finally confirmed she is expecting her first child.
She told Miami concertgoers last night: “Marc and I are expecting.”

After her announcement, Anthony kissed Lopez’s belly and said: “I didn’t know she was going to talk.”

Lopez, 39, did not say when she was due to give birth.

Her expanding tummy has been at the centre of much attention in recent times, but until now she had kept mum on her impending arrival.

But while she went to extraordinary lengths to keep onlookers guessing, her close friend Roberto Cavalli let slip the news earlier this month.

Cavalli noted that each week the singer, who is thought to be almost four months pregnant, gets larger forcing him to change his designs for her touring costumes.

He admitted in an off-guard moment: “Well Jennifer Lopez, at this moment, she requests something very special because she is waiting for the baby.

He told People magazine: “It is so complicated because every week she is getting bigger.”

It was, of course, the worst kept secret in Hollywood, but now the singer’s quickly expanding bump is fuelling new rumours she is expecting twins

Singer Marc Anthony had the audience at his show Friday night in Los Angeles buzzing when he made a special dedication to his wife and fellow headliner, Jennifer Lopez.

“I’m going to take a chance and dedicate this to Jennifer,” he told the crowd at L.A.’s Staple Center, before belting out “Faithfully”, the classic Journey tune, whose lyrics seemed to have an unmistakable significance to the bump-watchers in the crowd:

They say that the road
Ain’t no place to start a family
Right down the line
It’s been you and me
And lovin a music man
Ain’t always what it’s supposed to be
Oh girl you stand by me
I’m forever yours…faithfully

The duo’s 14-city tour comes to an end on November 4 in Orlando, Florida. They have been on the road since September 29, when they kicked off the tour in Atlantic City. Despite her increasingly visible bump, the singer has refused to directly address the speculation that she is about to become a mom. She told Diane Sawyer, “This is really, really a great, happy time in my life. … Everything’s great.”
