Gisele speaks, we translate

Like any other couple, Gisele Bundchen and Tom Brady don't agree on everything.

Take the name of their baby, for instance. In an interview with Brazilian TV, Bundchen reveals that she liked the name "Joaquim," but her husband thought it would "sound strange."

In the interview, which aired Sunday, Bundchen told Globo TV's Giuliana Morrone, "We wanted a name that would be good in the U.S. and in Brazil. I didn't want a purely American name, my son is also Brazilian...We call him Benjamin, but I call him 'my amorzinho.'" (Translation: "My little love.")

While preparing for Ben's arrival, Bundchen says she took four months off from modeling, which is "the most I stayed without work since I started working at 14."

About her bundle of joy, Gi said, "I live 24 hours for him, I stare at him the entire day. I didn't know I could love that way. I live for him. Since I had him the first time I looked in the mirror was when I came to this studio...You forget about yourself. Because when you look at his angel's face, you feel that what's most important is in him."

As we told you last week, she gave birth in the bathtub of the couple's Beacon Street townhouse.

"I wanted to be conscious of what was happening," she said. "I took a lot of Yoga. I wanted to be present. The labor was very calm. He didn't cry. And he was brought to my arms, and stayed with me. My mother, my husband, and medical assistant were there...I will tell you something: it wasn't painful at all. Because, with every contraction I knew he was closer to me."

Never one to lounge around, Bundchen said she was up and at 'em soon after the delivery.

"On the second day, I was already washing dishes, making pancakes. Life goes on, I don't have time to remain in bed...I have my mother always around. (Ben) doesn't have a nanny, but who needs one when I have my supermother around? I hope to be as good a mother to my son as my mother is to me."

And how will Ben be raised?

"Obviously, he'll go to Brazil constantly. My entire family is there," said Brady's better half. "But by being born here, he'll speak English, and of course will be part of the culture here, his dad is American, but he's also half Brazilian. That's why he is a Bundchen, he's also a Bundchen, he's not entirely Brady."
