Jennifer Love Hewitt loves being a mom!

Autumn's mommy stopped by E! News and couldn't help but gush about motherhood. "I just feel like my heart expanded quadruple and every time I look at her, I just melt. It's great. And I get no sleep which is also fun," she tells us.

Husband Brian Hallisay seems to be getting the hang of fatherhood, too. "He's great, he handles it great. He looks at me sometimes like I'm a crazy person, especially right in the beginning when we got home with her, he was like, 'You look a little crazy.' I'm like, 'All right, we'll talk about it later,' " JLH joked.

Along with expanding her heart, going through pregnancy and having her first child inspired the actress to launch a maternity clothing line!

"Well for me it's a time in your life when you want to feel really beautiful and it's a struggle sometimes because you're expanding and you're changing and your hormones are all over the place," the star says of her Pea in the Pod line L by Jennifer Love Hewitt, "so comfort was a big thing for me, and I really wanted to—as a woman—make other women feel beautiful and special in their clothes."
