Snooki Reveals 'It's a Boy,' But the Name Is Even Bigger News!

I know we have all been waiting breathlessly for Snooki to announce the sex of her baby, and now she has! Snooki will be expecting a little bambino. That's boy, in non-Italian. Snooki told In Touch that she wanted a girl, but that as long as the baby is healthy, she's happy. I sense a collective sigh of disappointment that we won't see a little Snooki, with the garish bejeweled diapers, the wispy baby pouf, and the possible (fake) baby tan. However, there is some good news!

Snooki also says she won't be giving her little bambino a typically weird Hollywood celebrity name. She's going old-school. Snooki and her fiance, Jionni LaValle, may go with either Jionni Jr. or Lorenzo. Good, solid Italian names, both.

But in case Snooki is still considering monikers, here's a few others she might want for her short list ...

weddingMost women would never dream of skipping out on their own wedding day unless they get cold feet and run for the hills at the very last minute. I mean, you'd have to have a pretty good excuse for leaving right after the ceremony and not having a big party afterwards, right?

Danielle Clelow was 38 weeks pregnant with her baby boy when she married her husband, Aaron, and much to her shock, she found herself having contractions as she walked down the aisle and recited her vows. She managed to make it through the ceremony and even grabbed a quick sandwich afterwards before she headed to the hospital and delivered her 7-pound, 7-ounce baby, Paddy, at around 6:30 p.m.

Don't Let Your Needy Baby Give You a Nervous Breakdown

happy babyBabies are so needy that they actually cry when they need something, which makes people get them what they need. Must be nice, babies. If I cried every time I needed something, I'd be wiping mascara off my cheeks all day. I'd rather ring a bell and have my wants delivered to my door. Wait! I have that if you count pizza delivery.

Babies are needy little buggers, it's true. Really cute, amazing ones. It's us adults who are spoiled. Sometimes rotten. We're so rotten we forget that babies need stuff, a lot of stuff, and that stuff has to come from us. And I don't mean toys and bouncy seats. I mean love. Attention. Care. Why do we complain when baby won't sleep through the night? Why moan and sigh when they cry because they want to be held? Well because it makes us stressed. But it doesn't have to!

Ah, babies. When they arrive, it's such a time of pure joy and happiness. And some worries too. Like, will she get into college? And, speaking of college, how the hell am I going to pay for it? Colleges get more and more expensive every year! But celebrities, at least, need not worry about these mundane little details. Because celeb babies don't just cost money, they mint money! Let's look at how Jessica Simpson's new bundle, Maxwell Drew, will bring home the bacon for Mommy ...

Finally! Did it seem like Jessica Simpson had been pregnant for the past decade? Well, she gave birth this morning to a 9-pound, 13-ounce baby girl. After a short run of old-fashioned baby names like Pearl, given to the newborn daughter of Jake Osbourne, and Gloria, given to Maggie Gyllenhaal and Peter Saarsgard's daughter, Jessica went with something a little more unusual. Well, unusual for a girl, that is.

Are you ready for Jessica Simpson's baby girl's name? Check it out ...

Father Loses His Infant Son in Tragedy and May Lose His Freedom, Too

Baby seatTwo-month-old Aiden Lee McGrew was sleeping peacefully in his swing on the morning of April 20. His father, Quintin, probably taking advantage of the opportunity to snag some peace and quiet-filled rest for himself because he wasn’t feeling well, managed to get the baby’s three year old sibling down for a nap and they all dozed, unwitting that disaster was unfolding. For no clear reason, the family dog—a recent rescue new to the home—attacked little Aiden, biting and ultimately dismembering his tiny, defenseless body.

Chantel, the baby’s mother, who had been at a doctor’s appointment with the couple’s 7 year old at the time of the accident, came home to find her infant son lying face down on the floor. I just can’t imagine that kind of horror. That she was even coherent enough to make the 911 call that described the grizzly and heart-wrenching scene she’d come home to is amazing to me.

Hilary Duff Saves Totally Gross Keepsake of Her Pregnancy (VIDEO)

hilary duffHilary Duff's pregnancy was so much fun to follow because she's incredibly sweet, down-to-earth, and she is such a "normal" gal, despite her celeb status. And I loved her even more after she welcomed her son, Luca, a few weeks ago and tweeted about how much her life had changed while she was up feeding him in the middle of the night. (Finally a famous mom admits to being exhausted.)

Hilary was one celeb mom I could really relate to -- but then she had to go ahead and admit that she saved her son's umbilical cord stump in a Ziploc bag, and has it hidden in her makeup drawer. (Um -- excuse me?) Please tell me I'm not the only person who finds treating a rotting body part as a keepsake just a little bit strange.

A Bad Childhood Is No Excuse for 'Kidnapping' a Baby, Mr. Kennedy

Posted by April Peveteaux
on Apr 13, 2012 at 3:15 PM

kennedy takes baby out hospital(Not Kennedy baby)Earlier this year a very bizarre situation was taking place in a maternity ward in upstate New York. Douglas Kennedy, son of Senator Robert Kennedy, was charged with child endangerment and harassment as nurses claimed he got violent as he tried to take his 2-day-old baby outside of the hospital.

While I thought it seemed ridiculous to try to remove a baby from the hospital at that stage, obviously, I wasn't there. So if Kennedy was simply taking his new son for a walk, it doesn't seem like it should be national news. But if Kennedy was instead twisting arms and kicking nurses and trying to run free with his baby, well, that doesn't seem like a great idea.

Regardless, Kennedy was in court today defending himself and invoking his own childhood as a defense citing the loss of his father due to his assassination. Do these two things have anything to do with each other?

baby handHaving a big baby is not too big of a deal lately especially since it seems to be more and more common. Remember the 15.5-pound baby? But 26-year-old Michigan mom Crista Hebel not only had what most consider a large baby weighing 12 pounds, 3 ounces ... her baby was four weeks premature.

Hebel went into labor while being treated for dehydration and delivered her preemie via c-section at Munson Medical Center. Her due date was May 5.

Mom's Intuition Saves 'Dead' Baby From Morgue (VIDEO)

newbornOk, you may want to sit down before reading this post, because you're really not going to believe what happened to the mother of a newborn baby in Argentina.

Analia Bouter suffered every mom's worst nightmare when she went into premature labor and delivered her baby girl three months too early. Sadly, doctors said the newborn girl was stillborn and "showed no signs of life" after delivery, so they pronounced the baby dead. She was taken away immediately, and her mother never got to see her.

I'm sure you can imagine just how devastated Analia and her husband must have been, but even 12 hours after their baby girl died, she insisted on seeing her child just one last time.

And that's when a true miracle happened.
