For the first time in history, the French presidential palace is hearing the pitter-patter of baby feet! Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy welcomed a daughter at a private clinic in Paris this evening. The baby is the first for the couple — the couple each have children from previous relationships: Carla's son Aurelien, 10, and Nicolas's children Pierre, 26, Jean, 25, and Louis, 14 — and is also the first baby born to a sitting French president. We admired the French first lady's buttoned-up maternity style as she went about her official government business, as well as her bikini style while on vacation. We can't wait to see the first daughter's sure-to-be impeccable style now! Congratulations!
Should Parents Be the Ones to Announce Baby's Debut to Other Children?
It's a boy or it's a girl, but who should tell the new addition's siblings? If mom and dad are in the midst of all the new baby bliss and hospital (or home birth) hoopla, is it the job of an outside party — a grandparent or family friend — to inform the big brother or sister? Some parents are particular in how they want to debut the news and others just believe in letting the information spread. What's your opinion?
