“It has been a very exciting few days.”

I bet the star of “Lovely and Amazing” will have a lovely and amazing little girl. Congrats!

May is my daughter’s middle name, so sweet and feminine!!

- Mary on January 27th, 2010

Love the name! Simple but sweet. My mama’s middle name was Mae and I plan to use it if I have another girl.

So she is a “Mum” rather than a “Mom”!

Maybe it’s just me but is there a reason why these posts state who delivered how? I don’t recall seeing posts reporting that a baby was born vaginally, so why must we differentiate when a baby is born by c-section? Simply stating that she welcomed her daughter on Friday seems more than sufficient.

What a cool name, because that’s my name..only mine is spelled MEY but still pronounced the same. =)

Angela I also noted that and found it a bit odd. Anyway, I think its great that she had a baby at the ‘same’ time as her sister. Assuming they’re close – it would be great to have someone going through similar experiences at the same time.

Angela and Cape Town Mum- I’m guessing it’s because a lot of people tend to get curious as to how a baby was born. Plus, people tend to speculate in the comments sometimes whether a celeb had a C-section or not, so saying up front that it was a C-section when it has been confirmed that it was stops the speculating before it even begins.
