Loving mum Sarah Jessica Parker desperate for sleep

While SJP puts in 15-hour days, Matthew Broderick's holding the babies

Sarah Jessica plays Carrie Bradshaw in Sex And The City

Sarah Jessica Parker is working up to 15 hours a day shooting the  Sex And The City sequel and that's left her husband Matthew Broderick in charge of their twin girls, born to a surrogate on 22 June.
 
Last week the family were spotted out together for the first time since the babies were born, but that was a rare treat.

‘The filming's actually a lot more intense than Sarah expected,' an insider tells Now.

‘When she first brought the twins home, she was so overjoyed that she'd sacrifice her sleep. She'd work a 14-hour day, then come home and care for the girls, but her body just gave out and she can't function like that any more.'

That burnout was certainly in evidence when Sarah, 44, burst into tears at a New York salon last week, according to the New York Daily News.
 
Our source says Matthew's ‘overwhelmed' with being a full-time parent of three, looking after the couple's six-year-old son James as well as twins Tabitha and Marion while Sarah's at work.

He's worried that she doesn't have time to bond with the babies.

'Matthew's thrilled to be a dad again, but he's starting to feel like a single parent,' adds our insider.

Sarah's doing all she can to be a good mum in the time that she has.

‘She picks up James from school whenever she can and, no matter what time she gets in, she always makes sure she kisses all three children before she goes to sleep,' says the source.

‘She really is a loving mother, but she just overextends herself.'
