Blue Ivy Baby Pictures - Jay-Z and Beyone's Baby Girl - They Posted Pictures Today!

Jay-Z and Beyonce Posted Blue Ivy's Baby Pictures


Awe, I just happened to stumble upon pictures of Blue Ivy while checking my Twitter this evening. I have been waiting for Jay-Z and Beyonce to post their baby's pictures since I wrote my last blog post to announce that Blue Ivy Carter was born on January 7, 2012.

Isn't she beautiful?

Blue Ivy is such an adorable little baby girl. Her eyes remind me of Taraji P. Henson, but she has Beyonce's skin tone and chin. i love her head full of dark, silky, hair ... She's just as precious as I imagined that she would be!

What I love most is that Jay-Z and Beyonce tastefully posted their baby's pictures on their own and without receiving payment for them. They were accompanied by a note that said "We welcome you to share in our joy. Thank you for respecting our privacy during this Beautiful time in our lives. The Carter Family". Jay-Z and Beyonce are one of the few celebrities that did not receive payment for their baby's 1st pictures.

You can see all of the pictures of Blue Ivy posted at http://helloblueivycarter.tumblr.com

BTW - If you noticed, I have not put "Carter" near the little girl's name. I'm not sure if it will happen or not, but Jay-Z and Beyonce are trying to have their baby's name Trademarked in case they want to release a line of products in her name. Last thing I need is to forget to (TM) the name on my blog and get caught up in a trademark dispute ... On the other hand, this little diva's pictures are already all over the Internet ... people put them to videos, too.

As per my previous post about Blue Ivy's birth, I just want to extend one more CONGRATS to Jay-Z and Beyonce on your sweet baby girl. You have certainly been blessed all the way around. I look forward to seeing how life is for The Carter's in years to come.

Pictures of Mariah Carey Babies | Baby Twins Roc & Roe | Abc News 20/20 Interview and www.DemBabies.com - #dembabies

Mariah Carey's Baby Twins Pictures, Roc & Roe, #dembabies pictures

All I can say is "Thank you, Barbara Walters" for the awesome interview with Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon. It's about time! Alyssa Milano, Tori Spelling, Christina Applegate and other Over 35 celebrity moms did not wait this long to let us see their little angels ... I know that celebrity moms are just as protective of their children as we are (probably more), but #DemBabies are 6 months now and, aside of my beautiful Baby Max (big smile), the Carey-Cannon twins) are some of the cutest babies I've seen this year. I am thinking that Mariah probably wanted to take off some of the baby weight first because this is exactly what I would want to do, too. Anyways, here's the 20/20 interview with Mariah Carey, Nick Cannon, Roc, Roe and Barbara Walters. Mariah Carey shares how difficult it was to lose their first baby by miscarriage and then the challenges of getting pregnant through fertility hormone therapy and then staying pregnant with twins because it was hard on her body. Lets face it, pregnant with twins at 41 years old is not the norm nor easy on a body, but the Lord continues to bless Mariah Carey abundantly; this time with a boy and girl baby twins. Praise God!!! It is just incredible and so exciting to see how the celebrity couple are enjoying their twin babies:



Wait! It gets better ... Nich Cannon and Mariah Carey launched a website of the babies - http://www.dembabies.com and it has a ton of adorable pictures of Mariah Carey's twins. Check it out! I could not put on this site because the publish rights are for sale and funds contributed to Fresh Air Fund's Camp Mariah that helps inner city kids explore career / educational options while in a fun filled camp environment. It looks like a really nice program.

Congrats again to Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon on #dembabies. Your twins are adorable. I look forward to watching how they develop and what talents they will share with the world.

Tori Spelling's Baby Girl Hattie Margaret

WOW, Tori Spelling is another "over 35" celebrity mom that has just had a baby. Dean McDermott and Tori Spelling gave birth to a baby girl, named Hattie Margaret McDermott, on Monday, October 10, 2011 at 7:08 AM. Baby Hattie weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces and 20 inches long. She posted the baby announcement to her Twitter from Lockerz:

Tori Spelling gives birth to baby girl Hattie Margaret McDermott on 10/10/2011

Today, there was a link to see Hattie's cute little feet on the www.torispelling.com website. I'm sure baby Hattie will be just as sweet her big brother Liam (4) and big sister Stella (3), but her fans are waiting to see more picture . Tori Spelling will sure have her hands full with 3 little ones, but this 38 year old mommy can handle it. If you've ever seen an episode of the Tori & Dean show, you know what I mean?

Anyways, a HUGE congrats to Tori Spelling and family. May baby Hattie keep you young :)

Alyssa Milano's Baby Boy Milo Thomas

Alyssa Milano Baby Boy Milo Thomas - Another Over 35 Celebrity Mom

Alyssa Milano Is Another "Over 35" Celebrity Mom


David Bugliari and Alyssa Milano gave birth to Milo Thomas on August 31, 2011 (Wednesday) at 9:27 A.M. Baby Milo weighed 7 lbs and was 19 inches long. It is just 5 weeks later and this 38 year old mommy looks almost as beautiful as her newborn baby (see image above courtesy of US Weekly). Like the rest of the "over 35" mommies in the USA, I feel like I grew up with this actress, therefore I am so excited to read the news of her first baby. She told US Weekly "she's staying nanny-free" and I commend her for that choice because the first few weeks (in fact, the baby's first year) can become quite an adjustment for a new mommy. A lot of celebrity moms hire a nanny to the "quality of life" that come with their status, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having a baby. I wouldn't want a stranger bonding with my baby, therefore I think it's really cool when a celebrity mom and dad wants to do the parenting on their own.

Congrats to Alyssa Milano and David Bugliari on the arrival of their precious baby boy.

We look forward to seeing more pictures and following your parenting example.


In Motherly Love,
Mother Baby Child

Beyonce showing baby bump on the 2011 MTV VMA red carpet ... Cute!!!!

Awe, I am so glad that my son invited me to watch the 2011 MTV VMAs (Video Music Awards). I got to see Beyonce show her baby bump on stage after singing "Love On Top" (such a powerful song). It was sooooooooooo adorable. The diva opened her jacket, turned sideways in her stylish maternity pants, smiled and rubbed her baby bump for the world to see. Of course her smile was hitting the audience where her husband Jay-Z and his friend, Kanye West, were showing their excitement. Prior to this obvious display of "confirmation" that Beyonce is pregnant, MTV tweeted OMG Beyonce just made a huge announcement on the #vma carpet! #baby!!!!!

UPDATE - January 7, 2012 - Jaz-Z and Beyonce give birth to baby girl


Video of Beyonce showing off her baby bump after singing "Love On Top"

I know that she is not an over 35 celebrity, but this is HUGE ... I had to post a quick blog to mark this occasion (and to think I was giving my son a hard time and not sitting to watch the MTV Music Video Awards at first). It was just beautiful, but the best part is that the 29 year old songstress always wanted to have a baby at 30 years old and did an interview with CNN's Piers Morgan, a few months ago, stating that she did not know when she would have children and that she had no intention of retiring at 30 (as she had once stated in another interview).WHAT A BLESSING!!! This was not a planned pregnancy and her dream is coming true ... Beyonce will have her baby at 30 (her birthday is in just a few days on September 4th); another under 35 celebrity mom to contradict the latest pregnancy trend.

Yes, it is real this time, Beyonce is pregnant by husband Jay-Z and the blessed couple is expecting their baby ...? Now, all we need to know is when Beyonce is due to deliver her baby? If Beyonce has a baby bump that might mean that she is more than 1st semester, right?

Does anyone know when Beyonce is due?

Mariah Carey Is Still Pregnant - Twins Babies Coming Soon (Boy & Girl) - Hubby Is Ready!

Mariah Carey fans can't wait to see the "Carey-Cannon Twins", and Nick Cannon says that baby bags are packed and they are ready to go ... ANY DAY NOW ... Woo Hoo!!!

I've held off as long as I can, but I had to post at least one blog about one of my favorite over 35 and pregnant celebrity, Mariah Carey. She is due to deliver any day now and I am just as anxious as the rest of the Mimi fans that have been patiently waiting for the arrival of the "Carey-Cannon Twins" (YES, this is how they are referenced on Mariah Carey's website ... ). Nick Cannon announced that the babies are were expected to arrive this Spring (April 2011 / May 2011) during the interview with Spike Lee on his Rollin' talk show. He told Elllen DeGeneres that they have the hospital bags packed and ready to GO GO GO ... the following is a video of Nick Cannon on the Ellen DeGeneres show on April 27, 2011:



As you can see, Nick Cannon is one proud papa in the waiting. I love how he tells Ellen that Mariah is due "any second ... we've got the bags packed ... I'm ready!". Little did I know that Mariah's gone further than most people with twins have made it through their pregnancy (she's such a diva). How about when he says, "I think they're like, uh, got college educations already". How comical for Nick Cannon to explain it this way, but just like any first time father, he sounded so excited when he told Ellen "We've got the bags packed ... I'm ready" ... The funny thing is that although this celebrity comes across "calm, cool and collective", he admitted that he is very squeamish about being in the delivery room and that Mariah Carey is "calm" and "cool" one about having these twins. Isn't that how it typically is when we get close to delivery time?

HERE ARE SOME RECENT PICTURE OF MARIAH CAREY PREGNANT:

A classic Demi Moore pose for Life & Style Weekly magazine, Mariah Carey poses naked with areas strategically covered to show just her pregnant belly. April 7, 2011. She felt vulnerable "“I was feeling very vulnerable about taking pictures at all right now, but then I didn’t want to miss this opportunity to document this once-in-a-lifetime experience. My ultimate goal was to share this incredibly personal moment with my true fans.” (http://www.lifeandstylemag.com/2011/04/post-44.html)

I hope that you've enjoyed watching Nick Cannon's excitement and all of the publicity on the beautifully pregnant Mariah Carey. Lets all pray that her labor goes well and that the babies are born healthy!

UPDATE: Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey Twins were born on April 30, 2011.

Christina Applegate & Baby Girl Sadie Grace

Christina Applegate and baby Sadie on People Magazine
Christina Applegate gave birth to a healthy baby girl named Sadie Grace LeNoble on January 27, 2011 (one month after I gave birth to Baby Max). It touches my heart to read and watch Christina Applegate share her childbirth experience. In 2008, she was diagnosed with breast cancer at 36 years old. Her battle with breast cancer resulted in a double mastectomy. Yet, at 39 years old, she has given birth to a healthy baby girl. They were featured on People Magazine this month and the following is a video where Christina Applegate shares her child birth experience on The Ellen Degeneres Show. I was surprised to hear that she hated the feeling of the epidural and ended up in natural childbirth. Meanwhile, I though the epidural was wonderful and improved so much since I had my first child!!! Applegate also mentions what she felt like after having the baby:

"... just that moment they were pulling her out, I dropped my gwon, which I don't ... you know This part of my body is very private"... that's a real private place. A place that I don't have a good relationship with, lets say, but at that moment of pulling her out and I just tore that thing off and there's a room full of people that I don't know - nurses and doctors - and she and I just laid there ... It was the best thing that's ever happened to me."



Ellen Degeneres responded with "that's beautiful" ... I think most mothers in the audience would agree. Some may have even relived that childbirth experience. There is nothing like it in the world. Lets all extend a HUGE congratulations to Christina Applegate (39) and fiancé Martyn LeNoble (41) on the birth of their sweet baby, Sadie Grace. My the Lord continue to bless you!

You can leave your congrats message for Christina Applegate & Baby Sadie in the comment section below!

This over 35 and pregnant celebrity looks fantastic in her baby bump. Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem (married July of 2010) are expecting their first child in January 2011. She will be 36 years old when she gives birth. I personally think this is a great age to have a baby.

Keyshia Cole Pregnancy Photo

Picture of Keyshia Cole Pregnant Christmas 2010 - Worse Maternity Clothes Best Photo

Think that celebrities have the best maternity clothes? Wrong!

Check out Keyshia Cole in this unflattering tutu! Her stylist should REALLY be ashamed ... Meanwhile, as I entered my 3rd trimester, my maternity clothes were not so flattering on my swollen body, too. I would have REALLY liked to have met and told off the person that approved skinny jeans for pregnant woman. Mind you that I am a curvy mommy, but I was not fat when I got pregnant. Either way, I ended up being more than just a "baby bump" and the department stores made it almost impossible to stick to the traditional elastic wasted pants. Plus, I wanted to sport jeans! In this case, every pair of maternity jeans that I found were ... SKINNY JEANS ... and at like $35 to $60 a pair when not on sale! Someone really needs to tell these companies that our legs swell and our butt gets bigger, therefore those skinny jeans with the mock jean waste are uncomfortable towards the 3rd trimester; especially when we are "ready to blow" at 9 months pregnant.

Leave the skinny jeans for the younger or pregnant moms that are all belly ... bring back the regular maternity jeans for those who develop more butt, belly and thighs during the process ... we will gladly wear our skinny jeans after we loose the pregnancy weight!

Anyways, the post here being that Keyshia Cole and Cleveland Cavaliers player Daniel Gibson were blessed with a beautiful 7 lbs. 3 oz baby boy that they named Daniel Hiram Gibson Jr. on Tuesday, March 2, 2010 at 11:54 p.m.
