Congrats to last weeks “future celebs!” It was the week of the boy as little boys are taking Hollywood by storm.
Actress Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation, SNL) gave birth to Abel James Arnett on August 6. Little Abel weighed in at 7 lbs., 13 oz. and joins big brother Archie. Guessing Amy is on an “A” kick here… poor hubby, Will. He must feel left out.
Actress Annie Wersching (Renee Walker on my fave show, 24) welcomed little Freddie Wersching Full into the world on August 8. He weighed 7 lbs., 15 oz., and was 18 inches long. Apparently, he shares his mom’s red hair. No word on how hubby Stephen Full feels about that.
Model Ingrid Vandebosch and her hubby, NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon welcomed a son, Leo Benjamin Gordon into the world on August 9. Weighing just 7 lbs., 2 oz. and measuring 19 inches long, he was the skinniest baby of the week. What did you expect though… mommy is a supermodel!
Due soon: Catherine Bell and Isla Fisher!

Kids say the darndest things…
Thought you guys would get a kick out of this… So, one of my friends (let’s call her, Cami) is pregnant with her 5th child right now (and yes, she is crazy!)… anyway she called me to tell me a story about her daughter, whom we’ll call Cassidy (the 2nd child) who is 5. It’s hilarious, so I couldn’t resist sharing!
So, Cami was VERY sick a few days ago, so she was sipping on Ginger Ale to help settle her stomach. When she left for work in a hurry, she left the rest of her pop in a glass on the table. After mom left, Cassidy walked over to the table, dumped out the remaining ginger ale, then asked her dad if she could have some ginger ale. He said, “Yes, but mom just poured that, why didn’t you just drink that?”
Her response… yes, this is priceless. She said, “Cause I don’t want to get pregnant and puke all day like her.”

Julie Cole was a busy mom-of-three when her oldest son, Mack was diagnosed with autism. Knowing she needed a more flexible schedule to accommodate his therapy, she quit her job as a lawyer and began to refocus her life. In 2002, Cole and some close family members started Mabel’s Labels.
Mabel’s Labels were designed specifically to be dishwasher, microwave and laundry safe. Their sticky and clothing labels are customized with a child’s name, choice of color and icon. They also offer personalized stationery, ID wristbands and household labels.
Julie, (now a mom of six!) says this was all started from their group of moms frustrated by the amount of stuff that left their houses, never to return. (I’m sure we can all relate to that!) They continuously create innovative labels for babies, kids and grown-ups. I was quite amazed at what you can label! Check them out at www.mabel.ca

So, today I thought we would try something new and fun to get some conversation rolling…
I thought it would be a fun little game to do a fill-in-the-blank. When you were pregnant, or now that you are pregnant, what was the one thing that drove you crazy? Or what did people say to you that really struck a nerve? Comment on this post below and have fun reading what people write. You will soon realize, you are not alone!
I’ll start…
It drove me NUTS when people told me I looked tired! No shit, Sherlock! I get up to pee every 30 minutes and my child is practicing to be the next Landon Donovan… What the hell do you expect?
It’s your turn now! What was/is your biggest pet peeve…
