Carla Bruni and Nicolas Sarkozy Welcome a Daughter!

Rebecca M Gruber — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 16:24:24 PDT

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?

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?

Digital Birth Announcements For Modern Moms and Dads

LilSugar — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 03:16:44 PDT

We've seen our share of the most creative paper birth announcements, as well as video and photo essay announcements. But for parents who are looking to share their big baby news without reinventing the wheel, Nursery Notice just may be the way to go. We love that the service is eco-friendly, and the clean, modern templates are easy to update with birth details, photos, and a digital guest book. At $34 per month, Nursery Notice is also a lot more cost-effective than most printed announcements. Plus, you can archive your site on a CD once you're done with it so that it doesn't get lost in cyberspace.

What do you think? Is announcing a baby's birth over a website impersonal, or the way news will be shared in the future?
