Jennifer Lopez will always have a keepsake of the time she was pregnant with twins Max and Emme - she commissioned a photographer to capture her and husband Marc Anthony as expectant parents.

The singer/actress has put together a book of professional photos taken just two weeks before she became a mom for the first time in February.

And she loves her look in the pictures: "I felt very womanly. Marc was in a dream. He loved it (shoot)."

And, in a new interview for Elle magazine, Lopez reveals she insisted on a little 'me' time after touring with Anthony while pregnant.

She explains, "We came off tour and I said, 'I did the superwoman thing, I finished the tour - now I need you to take care of me. I love doing things for you; if I'm not cooking, then I'm picking out a shirt. But this is the first time in my life where I'm just going to be a little bit selfish.'"

"I said, 'I don't know if I'm going to have kids again, so I want it to be a beautiful experience. I don't want to have any drama. I want to just be smiling every day.'"
