Angelina Jolie has checked into a hospital in the south of France where she is expected to give birth to her twins, a hospital spokesman said Tuesday.  I have heard that Angelina has said that the babies are due in August.  It has been reported that Angelina will stay at the hospital until her due date in August.  We hope all is well!

She and partner Brad Pitt have four children: Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2.

Girls, I will keep you posted on that!

 Ashlee Simpson, 23, and husband Pete Wentz confirmed their pregnancy in May shortly after they were married in Beverly Hills.

“This is truly the most joyous time in our lives and we are excited to share the happy news and start our family,” they said.

Pete recently said he was “excited” to be a dad. 

Good luck to them!!!

 Breast feeding or thinking about breast feeding? Here’s an experience I’d like to share with you. Please let me know if you have had similar kinds of realizations.

I was initially the mom of twin preemies. You see, breast feeding twin preemies was a unique experience, and not always a fun one.  First the doctors at the NICU do not let you breast feed a 3.8lb baby.  The babies’ caloric intake was less than the energy they were spending on eating.  So, during this time breast feeding was out of the question.  My pump was my best friend, but the pump was not a baby and my milk supply was low (for which by the way a tea by Mother’s Milk was very useful).  By the time I was allowed to breast feed, my babies were used to the bottle, and were not too interested in the boob, and therefore I pumped most of the time.   

When I had my third child, my second boy, I decided that this time I really will enjoy the full experience of breast feeding.  My fantasy was complete with my snazzy nursing cover which I purchased early in the pregnancy because I could not contain myself.  I thought I will be able to breast feed in comfort.  The nursing cover did cover the baby and my breast but my post pregnancy belly and back were still constantly exposed.   I was always adjusting and readjusting myself to stay inside the cover.  I was very frustrated until my husband reminded me that I (and my business partner) created this wonderful item and I should try it.  Funny, but my SwellyBelly was here the whole time and I just did not realize it. And duh!?  It really works well!  After my brilliant husband (he made me say that) made this pointed observation I use the band as I did during my pregnancy, over my belly. Now I need only lift my shirt and just breast feed!  Most of the time I do not even need to use the cover I first purchased, especially in this "hot weather."  Is this the case of not seeing the tree in the forest?
