Being pregnant with twins was a shock for Jolie

Washington (ANI): Mum-to-be Angelina Jolie has revealed that she was shocked to discover that she was pregnant with twins. In an interview to Entertainment weekly, the 33-year-old actress admitted that she was taken aback after learning about her pregnancy. "We weren't expecting twins. So it did shock us, and we jumped to six [children] quickly. But we like a challenge," People quoted Jolie, as saying.

The Oscar winning star is making sure her other children, Maddox, 6, Pax, 4, Zahara, 3, and Shiloh, 2 feel included when their new siblings are born. "They're old enough to feel included to change diapers themselves, to feed bottles themselves, like if I pump into a bottle," she said.

"We're trying to find ways where it can be a fun group thing ... Everybody gets special time so we can make sure we know where they're at," she added. Meanwhile, partner brad pitt is doing all the heavy weight work. "We've worked out a system where Brad just lifts [the kids] to me every time they want to come up," she says. "I just don't bend down. I'll scream, 'Honey!' and he'll come running and lift them up," she added
