Introducing Poet Sienna Rose Goldberg

Punky Brewster alum Soleil Moon Frye and new daughter Poet sat down with People magazine for their Oh Baby! column this week. Highlights of the article include:

-Soleil and Jason plan to call their daughter ‘Poe‘ instead of using her full name.

-On the unusual name Soleil says, "With a name [like mine], we had to come up with something different."

-In the delivery room, she had Bob Dylan music, a Buddha figurine to focus on during contractions-and close friends Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher (Jason’s producing partner). She had a natural birth aided by an epidural.

-Soleil gained 44 pounds on her 5’2 frame, a big change after an extremely rough first trimester, in which she suffered "morning, noon, and night sickness," and could only eat "waffles and carbs."

-On Poe-"Now that she’s here, I just want to hold her every second…Everytime she peeps, I’m like, ‘Give her to me!’ I don’t believe that you can spoil a child too much in the beginning. There’s just no way."

Thanks to CBB reader Stephanie for the scan!

Im so happy for her! I can understnad what its like to be so sick. I was sick 24/7 from the start of my pregnancy with my first till she was 3 weeks old…YES it didnt end when she was born!!! It sucked…LOL…but a beautiful baby is always worth it!

I like the name Poet by the way…I like differnt names.( Right before Michelle Branch had Owen I told my dh that the next child we have I would like to name Owen…Owen for a boy or Owyn for a girl…now I have to find something different..LOL)

Anyway, Congrats to a girl I grew up watching!

Oh wow I can comment finally!!!!
I think she looks great! I’m 98 pounds normally but I went up to 140 whilst pregnant! It was all gone by 6 months though, the breastfeeding sees to that
I do hope I don’t gain as much this pregnancy though (she types whilst munching on doritos! doh!)
