" Kristen Bell has joked that she worried about loving her dogs more than her newborn daughter. The Veronica Mars actress and Dax Shepard welcomed a baby girl named Lincoln back in March.      Bell joked about becoming a mother in an interview with Flare, by acknowledging that she feared not having a strong connection to the child. &amp;quot;I kept saying to Dax in all sincerity during my pregnancy, &amp;#039;I just don&amp;#039;t know how I&amp;#039;m going to like her as much as I like the dogs&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; she declared. The actress went on to say: &amp;quot;I was being serious. Because I f**king love my dogs; they are my children. I love people the more I know them, and I didn&amp;#039;t know her.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;It could&amp;#039;ve been a water bottle in my belly, that&amp;#039;s about how connected I felt to her during my pregnancy. But within about 24 hours after she came out, my hormones reset, and they reprogrammed my feelings about her.&amp;quot; Bell also discussed her and Shepard&amp;#039;s efforts to keep their relationship private.
