I guess Jennifer Aniston won’t be buying herself a Peg Perego double stroller anytime soon after all.  Recent photos of a svelte looking Aniston seem to dispel the rumors that she is pregnant with twins, so it looks she won’t be joining the celebrity mom crew right away.

But while she isn’t currently shopping for baby bling or taking prenatal yoga, Aniston is definitely planning on having kids in the future, so hopefully we won’t have to wait too long before we can officially extend a Baby Blog Blog congrats to Jen.

America’s favortite pregnant comedy rapper, Amy Poehler, gave birth to a baby boy named Archie last week.  In honor of their joyous event, I am dedicating today’s Stroller of the Day to Archie Arnett.  I think Archie would look super stylish and feel snug as a bug in the Evenflo Journey Premier Stroller.

The great thing about Evenflo strollers, in addition to the fact that they exceed federal safety standards and are the #1 rated stroller by a consumer magazine, is that they are very lightweight and have easy one hand folding.  Makes it easier for everyone to keep smiling!

Congrats and best wishes to the happy family!  Welcome Archie!

Let me start off by saying, where does Angelina Jolie get the energy to run around with all those kids and look so good all the time?  She just had twins a couple of months ago, and already she has resumed her position as the queen of magazine covers.  She looked fantastic all dolled up on the cover of Star Magazine (in spite of their tummy tuck claim), and looks just as stunning all dressed down on the cover of this month’s W magazine. It’s so unfair (*sigh*) but good for her!

Apparently, the W cover is causing a little controversy due to the fact that Angelina is breastfeeding, but I think it’s great that she’s at least helping start a conversation about public breastfeeding.  It’s inspired me to do a run-down of great breastfeeding gear:

Evenflo Elan Complete Automatic Dual Breast Pump System: This breast pump system even comes with a picture frame, so Angelina can look at a photo of her brood every time she wants to pump and store milk.

Baby Nursing Swimsuit: The nursing swimsuit will come in handy at the pool or whatever tropical beach Angelina finds herself on next week.

MoBoleez Breastfeeding Bonnets: Breastfeeding bonnets are a great alternative for moms who don’t want to lug around a nursing blanket.  I could see this bonnet being ideal for moms who travel as much as Angelina.

After what seemed like the longest pregnancy in the history of pregnancy, Gwen Stefani has finally given birth, adding another healthy baby boy to her family. I am curious how they came up with the name “Zuma Nesta Rock” for the little guy; here are my best guesses:

• The baby was conceived either at or near Zuma Beach, which is right by some nice rock climbing, or Zuma Rock in Nigeria.
  
• Parents Gwen and Gavin are way into Jamaica (first baby Kingston, now “Nesta” as in Robert Nesta Marley aka Bob Marley.)
• They may just really like The Rock. Or The Rock. Or just plain Rock.

At any rate, congrats and best wishes to the family!

I’ve done enough babysitting to know that it’s pretty much duck-and-cover when changing little boys’ diapers, but it never occurred to me to do anything beyond trying to keep the baby covered with a fresh diaper. Recently, however, I have discovered the Pee-pee Teepee, which, in addition to keeping diaper-changing adults nice and dry, may be the best baby boy gift EVER. Here are some reasons why:

The Santa Hat: the mere thought of this Pee-pee Teepee in action around the holidays makes me giggle.

Green Camo: for the baby who loves going commando!

Skulls: because some babies are just born to rock.

I am not sure the babies will grow up and be thrilled to see photos of themselves sporting the Pee-pee Teepee (as much as those photos may amuse others), so let’s just hope for everyone’s sake that what happens in the Pee-pee Teepee stays in the Pee-pee Teepee.

After weeks of wondering and waiting, we finally have confirmed news: Angelina Jolie gave birth last night in France. Mom and the twins - a boy named Knox Leon and a girl named Vivienne Marcheline - are reported to be doing very well. Best wishes and congratulations to the newly enlarged family!

Yahoo! news just reported that Jamie Lynn Spears has given birth in Louisiana. Congrats to the new mom and family!

Here’s something a little unusual: Milkscreen alcohol testing for nursing mothers. Much like the one-step over-the-counter pregnancy tests that originally signaled Junior’s imminent arrival, nursing moms simply need to saturate one end of the test strip (with breast milk instead of urine) and wait two minutes for the results. I guess it is great for new mothers who prefer not to think about breast milk storage, and of course for new moms who’d like a glass of wine without feeling guilty about passing potentially harmful effects to their baby.

Jessica Alba is the latest in a VERY LONG list of new celebrity moms. She and her husband welcomed baby girl Honor Marie this past Saturday, according to Yahoo!. Congrats to the happy new family!

Does anyone know if Angelina Jolie gave birth to the twins yet?  Some reports say Yes, others say No; I have no idea what to believe.  From all the pictures I have seen recently, she looks like she is like a year overdue and will give birth to walking, talking toddlers.

I have heard that the proud parents-to-be-again have auctioned of the rights for the first pictures of their twins for $15 million, so it seems those kids are pretty much set for life just from that one photo.  But, I am sure they will also be showered with tons of baby bling and baby gifts anyway.
