It's a Bumpy....Road?

Sometimes, the best intended baby bump keepsake photos seem like a good idea at the time but not so much later. (I have no idea what the tire is for!)

We’ve seen some awkward belly photos in our time, BUT, last week, Vanessa Lachey posted one of the most beautiful baby bump photos I have ever seen….

Vanessa and husband, Nick Lachey are expecting a baby boy in late summer, early fall, September-ish. The couple said on Vanessa’s website, “We can’t wait to meet him soon!”

Nick took this gorgeous picture and Vanessa urged followers on Twitter to “Show me ur bump and I’ll show u mine!” Absolutely stunning!

New Baby TV

ABC’s betting that a new half-hour comedy series, centered around people raising a baby, will be a hit! The premiere of BABY DADDY is scheduled to air this Wednesday, June 20th at 7:30 p.m. CST.

The cast is young and beautiful and is centered around Ben (played by Jean-Luc Bilodeau) who finds a baby girl on his doorstep left by an ex. Since he’s in his 20’s and no doubt has no idea how to raise her, he enlists the help of his mom, Bonnie (Melissa Peterman), brother Danny (Derek Theler), buddy Tucker (Tahj Mowry) and his close female friend Riley (Chelsea Kane) who has a crush on him.

This could be ABC’s answer to NBC’s “Up All Night” that we already love. Could be fun…we’ll see on Wednesday!

Wanna see a sneak peek?

Three Mile Island - Baby Style

Actress Natalie Portman was in the celebrity gossip news this week when her 1-year-old son Aleph had what the report called a “Major Meltdown” in a popular eatery in Los Angeles recently. Kudos to Natalie for handling it gracefully; she even offered to pick up the check for a few other tables close by before taking her meal to go. While I surely don’t think her paying for others meals was necessary, it was a very nice gesture.

Everyone has had this experience at some time, probably from both sides; as a mother and as another patron of the restaurant. No matter how careful you plan the baby’s nap or happy time, sometimes it just doesn’t work out. They aren’t feeling good or are just having an off day or their little schedule is off slightly….and they throw a huge fit that you can’t seem to calm. They scream and/or cry no matter what you do. It’s just what babies do.

Give us your go-to plans for this type of meltdown. How do you handle the situation when it’s your little darling that’s throwing a fit? Give us your best advice!
