Congratulations to Courtney and Roger! Happy birth day Jake.

Michelle, I was up walking around immediately after both of my babies births. Nonmedicated birth and homebirth is wonderful .

Congrats to Courtney and Roger! I thought for sure they would have a girl, but I was wrong! Love the name. I also agree that I like that she wasn't induced. I refused induction as well after reading about pitocin in depth. While it's the right choice for some women, it wasn't for me. My son ended up coming at 41 weeks 3 days.

Aww I love hearing about older celeb moms having babies. You can always see how much more they seem to appreciate the chance to have a baby, since they weren't sure if they'd ever have one. Always makes me smile at how grateful they are. Congrats to the new parents!

I think it's fabulous she refused to be induced. I've always had an issue with the way the due date is calculated. ie. from the day of your last period. I remember arguing with the referring doc that my cycle was at least a week longer than the average (28 days) and shouldn't this be taken into account? And as we know, ultrasounds aren't 100% accurate in estimating the exact age of baby.

i think it's cool that she decided not to be induced (nothing against moms who do, of course!). is there a certain length of time where afterwards a woman must be induced for the health of the baby? i thought that if the baby was a few weeks late they'd have to be induced, but maybe not. maybe i just think that though b/c i was 10 days late and had big complications from being a late baby.

I was just wondering yesterday if she had her baby when I was watching According to Jim and saw her trying to cover her stomach with a pillow!!

And it sure is a baby day!!

But for being two weeks late that baby was fairly small perhaps she wasn't really late afterall?!

Congrats to the couple!
