babysugar — Wed, 17 Mar 2010 09:33:40 -0700

Amy Poehler and Will Arnett are adding to the laugh factory. After photos of the family playing in the park appeared last month, fans of the comedic duo definitely had their suspicions. The proud parents confirmed today that they will make Archie, 16 months old, a big brother later this year. While we are sorry we won't be seeing the expectant mama rapping on the SNL stage this time around, we can only hope they find a way to work it into her role on Parks and Recreation.

Gisele Opens Up About Pregnancy, Birth, and Returning to Work

babysugar — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 11:05:03 -0700

We already know about her bathtub waterbirth that didn't hurt a bit and how safe she felt during delivery. Now, in her first US interview, Gisele Bundchen graces the April cover of Vogue with a photo shoot showing off her six-week-old son, Benjamin, and her post-baby body. She also discusses how she kept her weight gain to 30 pounds, how the baby got his name and who was at her side during the birth – her husband, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, her mom, and a friend from Brazil who served as a midwife. Here are the highlights:

On keeping out of the public eye: “I felt like my pregnancy was a sacred moment for me. I stayed in Boston and I didn’t work apart from the contracts I have, and then I only let them use my face.”

On staying in shape while pregnant: “I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I gained only 30 pounds.”

On her baby’s name, Benjamin Rein: “I wanted him to be called River because I wanted something always flowing, immortal. My husband said, ‘There’s no way we’re going to call him River.’ But my father’s name is Reinoldo, so it’s a homage to him. And it’s like water.”

On having a big family: “I’m so lucky to have my little munchkin, and I have two because I also have John.”

On returning to work for the first time: “I got to the studio and I felt like I was E.T.-whoa, what’s going on? Hair and makeup? I hadn’t looked at myself in a mirror for a month and a half… Usually, as I walk through the door into that atmosphere, I already feel different. There’s a button that goes On and I’m On. And when I go On, there is almost no me; there is just a character who is doing all this. This time it wasn’t like that… For the first time, I think I actually saw me-the inside-instead of the persona.”

On the secret to getting through each day: “The first is wake up in the morning and be grateful you are here, alive and healthy. And the second is: Give.”

Heidi Klum Brings Sophisticated Style to Pea in the Pod

LilSugar — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 12:30:49 -0800

She may have gloated about her ability to forgo maternity wear, but that isn't stopping one of the fashion world's most famous mamas from dipping her hand into the expectant women's clothing area.

Mom of four Heidi Klum, who recently gave birth to Lou Samuel, just announced her collaboration on two lines of pregnancy pieces that reflect her sophisticated style. Like Nicole Richie, the hot mama is offering a small collection of clothes with uber-maternity store A Pea in the Pod. Fifteen form-fitting pieces will make up the Lavish by Heidi Klum collection, while 14 looser and more playful pieces will make up the more moderately priced Loved by Heidi Klum line at Motherhood Maternity.

At first glance, it doesn't look like the Project Runway host stole any of the designs last season's contestants whipped up for her as the pieces appear to mimic her own pregnancy style, with a knockout black dress and chiffon print shirt anchoring the lines. Moms-to-be can expect to see the whole collection just in time for Valentine's Day.

Best of 2009: Favorite Stylish Mom-to-Be

babysugar — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 14:30:09 -0800

While there were many deserving contenders for the most stylish mom-to-be in 2009, there is only one winner. Beating out models Gisele Bündchen, Heidi Klum, and Camila Alves, as well as maternity clothing designer Nicole Richie, Sarah Michelle Gellar was voted favorite fashionable expectant mama. Her hubby Freddie Prinze Jr. was crowned favorite new dad of 2009, so it seems fitting that his lovely wife would be awarded as well.

The star of Buffy certainly had a glow about her during her pregnant months, and she outfitted her bump beautifully with flowy frocks and flattering workout attire. Keeping her look fresh and natural, she made pregnancy seem all too easy and enjoyable.
