- chowchowpug on March 21st, 2009

Cute name!

- kelly on March 21st, 2009

I always wonder, when big babies are born weeks early, maybe their due date was calculated wrong in the first place?

Congrats to Andrew and Ivana on their new little baby boy!

- Allison on March 21st, 2009

- Amber on March 21st, 2009

Congratulations to them both! I like the name, very simple, but nice! Adam Brooks Firestone and more specifically Adam Firestone flows very nicely.

- Brooklyn on March 21st, 2009

good and strong sounding name. Congrats to them

- Mia on March 21st, 2009

I love their last name! Firestone sounds very cool.

- Anna on March 21st, 2009

- fuzibuni on March 21st, 2009

Love the name. Very classy. Congrats to them both, I’m sure this will be one gorgeous boy!

- Megan on March 21st, 2009

congrats! remember andrew from the bachelor. you make a lovely couple bet baby adam is a cutie.

- Valeri on March 22nd, 2009

Love the name – Adam is one of my favourite names for boys. Congrats to the happy parents!

- Jane on March 22nd, 2009

Okay, maybe this is a weird question…But does anyone know if Ivana is Czech or has Czech background? I’m asking because “Ivana” is a Czech/slavic name, and Donald Trump’s first wife is also named Ivana and is Czech.

In anycase, congrats to them on the baby…and good thing he came a month early! If he had waited around until mid-April, well…OUCH is the the only thing I can say!

- CelebBabyLover on March 22nd, 2009

oh that is so nice! good to hear to read the mum and baby are doing good. sounds like it was 3 weeks early, not too bad, yeah?

by the way, i found it interesting andrew sort of “scolded” jason for that crazy bachelor switch-up. i noticed a lot of past bachelors did that too.

- eternalcanadian on March 22nd, 2009

Congrats. And LOVE the name.

- Sandra on March 22nd, 2009

Congratulations on the birth of baby Adam! 8lbs is a good weight!

- babyboopie on March 22nd, 2009

u know all these ppl are getting on my nerves…

charlie and brooke were due AFTER me, and have had their babies but i let it go because they were twins

AND NOW ANDREW AND IVANA… mid april, i’m due on april 6… AND THAT BABY IS 8 LBS… so someone miscalculated the hell outta that pregnancy because if that baby would have gestated 4 more weeks, he’d have been HUGE…

at any rate… if allyson hannigan has her baby before me, i’m boycotting cbb till i have my baby… JEEEEZ!!!!

- fay on March 22nd, 2009

Oh, yay!!!! So happy for them I really thought they were going to have a girl, so I am pretty surprised!!!

Can’t wait to see pics, I LOVE Andrew Firestone <3

- Lis on March 22nd, 2009

Celebbabylover,Ivana is Jugoslav,not Czech.
Congrats Andrew and Ivana,I bet your son is beautiful and I love his name:normal and cute at the same time.

- SARA on March 22nd, 2009

Oh jeez Fay, stop complaining. lol. Not everyone will have their baby right on time.

- Kellie Ann on March 22nd, 2009

Congrats to them both. Another celebrity who went with a “normal” name for their child. Seems like all of these other celebs are trying to outdo each other with the weird names.

- robinepowell on March 22nd, 2009

Congrats to them! I love, love, love the name!

My nephew was “said” to be due on October 14th but came on September 25th and weighed 9 lbs, 7 ounces! Imagine waiting until his due date! So maybe the due date was a little off?

- Stephany on March 22nd, 2009

I love the name, but I thought that Andrew’s brother was named Adam as well. At least, that’s what I recall from watching the Bachelor.

- Dee on March 22nd, 2009

Wow! This was not a baby I was expecting would come so early… and at a weight of 8lbs. at 3-4 weeks early, I’d guess he probably wasn’t a “honeymoon baby” as they surmised!

Definitely a boy week–The Sheens, Jenna Jameson/Tito Ortiz, Carson Daly!

Congrats to the family!

- ashleigh on March 22nd, 2009

Sara, Ivana is Serbian, not Yugoslav

- Molly on March 22nd, 2009

Congrats! What a strong, masculine name! I love the name Adam but my husband already has a cousin named Adam, so we can’t really use it, but Adam Brooks just sounds fantastic.

- Mary-Helen on March 22nd, 2009

I love the middle name, it’s our son’s name!

- nicole jackson on March 22nd, 2009

Congrats to Andrew and Ivana. I think Andrew is the only one of the “Bachelor” series that has had a happy ending.. I wanted to know the sex of my child before birth. He’s a boy, too. Now, 14 years old!! How time flies. Enjoy your baby.. Babies are blessings..

- Judith on March 22nd, 2009

That will be one cute baby, because Mom is beautiful, and Dad is handsome! And I love his name, how it’s normal, but now, whenever I hear “Adam” I think of Adam Lambert from American Idol, but it’s still a cute name! lol

- Catherine on March 22nd, 2009

Oh I be that baby is just gorgeous. Love the name as well and glad to hear it’s not something too outrageous…Congrats!

- suzanne on March 22nd, 2009

Kellie Ann- I’m pretty sure Fay was just joking! As for the baby being early and being so big…The due date COULD have been miscalculated, but there’s also a chance it might not have been.

I have heard of full-term babies who have been 14 pounds or more at birth (and I think the heavist baby ever born was something like 20lbs or so…although he apparently didn’t survive very long after birth)! Also, there’s another possibility: Maybe Ivana was due in EARLY April, but she and Andrew said mid-April in an attempt to throw off the paps and have a little privacy when the baby actually came (I know they aren’t THAT famous, but still!)!

- CelebBabyLover on March 23rd, 2009

oh kelly ann i was just kidding…

two of my preggo buddies had their babies this weekend, and now celebrities who were due right around me or after me are having their babies… i’m just a little jealous… i’m not really upset honey… just jealous…

but i’m up at 3 am cuz my baby is making some moves and hurting me… so maybe, just maybe, i won’t have to boycott cbb after all (smile)

- fay on March 23rd, 2009

I’m with Fay! I’m due April 10th, and all it looks like all the mid-April babies on CBB are being born before my little one. No fair! (I say this jokingly, of course.)

Congrats to Andrew & Ivana. I agree with other posters; it’s probably a good thing this little guy was born early…whoa, 8 lbs 4 weeks early!

- Risa on March 23rd, 2009

What a beautiful name Watch out world if he looks like his papa!

As for the size, eh, trust me it happens. My godson was 3 weeks early and weighed in at 8lbs. 3oz. and trust me, there was no getting the conception date wrong with him haha!

- Harley on March 23rd, 2009

This baby sure as hell will be one GOOD LOOKING GUY!!!!!!

- Jax on March 23rd, 2009

Congrats to them! Very nice name and I’m glad everyone is well. If I recall, I think his brother’s name is Adam too.

- Jenny on March 23rd, 2009

Congratulations to the Firestone family. What a blessing. I love the name. I may be partial-my oldest is Andrew and my youngest is Adam!

- Lorelei on March 23rd, 2009

Congrats!!! Wow, all these “early” babies, and most boys, does anyone know what year this is in Mythology and in the Chinese Calendar LOL?! maybe the recession starting from last yr made the Y sperm mad?! The end of the decade?! Help?! Just glad all are healthy, robust, strong, but now we need some ESTROGEN;/)!!!!
