Campbell Brown Savors Special Moments With Sons

Hosting the nightly news program Campbell Brown on CNN means that, more often than not, Campbell Brown isn’t at home to put sons Eli James, 18 months and Asher Liam, 3 months, to bed – but don’t feel too sorry for her! The 41-year-old television journalist tells Babble that her schedule is a mixed blessing. “For those who have tried to put a toddler down…Sometimes I look at my husband and go, “Oh, here, you put him down for his nap,” she admits. “Yes, on the one hand you go, ‘Oh…’  But don’t idealize how wonderful it is to put your kids to bed. Sometimes they will fight you tooth and nail.”

Campbell instead logs the bulk of her time with the boys during the morning. “I have a really supportive work environment,” she notes. “My morning conference call is from home. And God bless technology for allowing me to be online and checking in at home and still be with the kids.”

“The mornings are my time, having breakfast and playing and watching Sesame Street; you savor those moments. You really try to carve those out and protect them.”

To say the least! Later in the interview, Campbell reveals that she even enjoys waking up at 4:15 a.m. with Asher. “That is my most precious twenty minutes, because it’s just our moment together,” she explains before adding,

“It’s quiet. No one else is awake. And it is heaven. The older one does get jealous, so it’s really the only time that I can give complete and total attention to Asher. And I just treasure that time, at four a.m. Those little moments are what’s wonderful about motherhood.”

Eli also has a special bond with mom, which is evident when Campbell recalls one recent meltdown after she denied him a snack. “He was throwing himself on the floor, screaming, yelling, and I was just — ugh! — at my wit’s end,” Campbell concedes. “I finally plopped down on the couch and took a deep breath.” When she least expected it, however, Eli came through. “He just stopped crying, came over, put his arms around me, and gave me a kiss on the cheek and a big hug — for no reason, after pitching this horrible, horrible fit. And I thought, God this is heaven.”

Fit2BMom: Work Out and Look Great

Mustering up the energy to work out while pregnant is hard enough, but doing so in tent-sized T-shirts and your husband’s gym shorts can make the prospect downright off-putting. Christine Lavin set out to change that. While expecting her first child, the former fitness instructor launched Fit2BMom, a stylish line of work-out gear to keep moms-to-be active throughout their pregnancy and beyond. Read More

Julie Chen Reveals Baby-on-the-Way is a Boy

On the eve of the big reveal of this year’s cast for Big Brother, show host Julie Chen did a little revealing of her own. The 39-year-old television personality shared during a Wednesday visit to The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson that she and husband Leslie Moonves are indeed joining the blue team. “It’s a boy,” she proclaimed. “We decided that after the 4th of July, we would release [the news].”

Fresh off a “babymoon,” Julie said that a fellow vacationer pointed out that being pregnant is “the best way to travel with your baby” because “the baby has food all the time… he’s always with you…you don’t have to carry anything.” Host Craig Ferguson suggested that she should forgo the babymoon and instead familiarize herself with Goodnight Moon, which she’ll be reading for years to come. “And then suddenly, you’re a jerk,” he joked, prompting Julie to chime in, ”I’ve heard about the teenage years.”

For now, Julie and Les have more pressing concerns — like coming up with a name for their baby-on-the-way, due October 4th. “We’ve talked about names and it’s funny because I always thought I would never be one of those people that wanted an original name,” she explains. “Like, sometimes [names] are made-up words that aren’t really even words.”

“I have a friend whose name is Ronal. It’s actually spelled Ron and Al, because her dad is Ron and her mom is Allison…And then when I found out I was pregnant, I was thinking my husband’s name is Leslie…So we’ll probably stick to a traditional boy name. Maybe Craig! That is a nice name. It’s a studly name.”

Baby boy will be the first for the couple, who married in 2004. He will join Les’ three children from a previous marriage. The 11th season of Big Brother premieres tonight at 8 p.m. on CBS.
