I have this feeling that Tori and Dean, are having a girl this time. Maybe if its a girl, Tori will understand how her mother felt while raising her, and maybe she can reconnect to her mother on a different level.

Angela’s note: Your feeling is correct. Tori has announced that she is having a little girl.

I honestly think more people seem to think that it’s preferred to have a son more than a daughter, but in the case of these female celebrities the wish to see girls is because we would like to see the mini-me’s of these celebrities.

Anyway, girls love their mommies too.

Yea, that’s true. There have been so many celebs who gave birth to sons last year, so people expressing hopes for a few girls, but there were more years where more celebs had way more daughters than sons like in 2005/2006, and still, I noticed, that no one expressed hopes for a few boys. Is having a little boy that bad?

ITA with Rye about why so many people are saying “I hope it’s a girl!” when it’s announced that a celeb is pregnant.

I also have another theory as to why so many people are hoping that currently pregnant celebs will have girls….In the past year, a lot, and I mean A LOT, of celebs have been giving birth to boys. For that reason, I am eager for some more celeb baby girls to be born, and I’m guessing that other people are as well.

Sabrina – don’t stress it will come off and congrats on your pregnancy. Here’s my tips as a mother and nutritionist.

The most important thing is to eat healthily and enjoy your pregnancy, light exercise like walking, yoga, swimming and pilates are all good particularly for stretching.

I personally found breastfeeding burns off the weight like nothing else but this isn’t always the case for everyone.

On the other hand once your little one starts crawling and/or walking you may be amazed at the weight that comes off just by trying to keep up with him!

happy for them! liam is sooooo cute in that pic!

sabrina- breastfeeding was AWESOME! for my daughter, and for me taking the weight off. i breastfed for 19 months and was 10 lbs less than when i got pregnant. i didn’t do any crazy exercise or starve myself.

Just for the record, breastfeeding does not help everyone lose weight and though I am completely in favor of it and did breastfeed both of my kids, it bugs me when people cite it as a way to lose weight. Healthy eating habits and moderate exercise are best but remember not to be so hard on yourself if it takes a while – feel good about being a mom and all you’re accomplishing with that and give yourself some time to get back to pre-baby weight (though that doesn’t always equal pre-baby body)!

Wow! That’s awesome! Tori and I were pregnant together the first time – Liam was born in March, my daughter was born in April. And now – we’re both pregnant together again! This baby is due August 9. And yes – we planned it – we, too, want our kids to be close in age!

I looked on the ET website and there is no mention of this. Did anybody else notice? Could it have been retracted?

Sabrina, simply eat healthy and breastfeed, then when you’ve recovered add in walking with your baby every day.

WOW, those kids will be close in age, boy or girl I’m happy for them.

I’m sure they have lots of help cleaning, childcare etc, so I’d probably have several kids in a row too then!
