    Exciting baby news today! Sofia Vergara is expecting a baby via surrogate. Actually, it's a little premature to say she and fiance Nick Loeb are expecting since they've just begun the process. More like, they're hoping to expect. A close friend of Sofia's has agreed to carry the engaged couple's baby and reportedly just underwent the first procedure. Now everyone is waiting to see if it's successful. Squee!

    A source told the New York Post, "A baby is something they've both wanted for a while, particularly Nick, who has been pushing for it. He is a little uneasy that the surrogate is Sofia’s close friend, but is very excited about becoming a father." And now photos are surfacing of Sofia ushering a woman around the Chateau Marmont Hotel. Could this be the surrogate? And should we maybe give them a little space?!?

    Ask a brand-new mama if she's planning to have a second baby, and she's likely to say, "What? I just had this one, give me a second here!" But when Celebuzz put Snooki on the spot, she was only too happy to respond. How many kids does she want? "I would like four," Snooki responded. "I already want another one!"

    Aww, she must really love having babies -- I mean the whole thing. Being pregnant, the delivery, being a mom, all of it. I can see why. She had a pretty healthy pregnancy and has a beautiful baby now. And I'm sure she's wondering what it's like to be pregnant and NOT surrounded with the Jersey Shore crew. Plus, babies are yummy, right Snooki?

    Forget about the debate over passport forms replacing ‘Mother’ and ‘Father’ with ‘Parent One’ and ‘Parent Two’ -- make way for Parent Three! A Florida judge has ruled that a 22-month-old baby girl shall have three people listed as her parents on her birth certificate -- a married lesbian couple and the gay man that provides one half of her DNA.

    Maria Italiano, 43, and Cher Filippazzo, 38, had not successfully conceived a much-desired child, even after several attempts at fertility clinics. Italiano’s hairdresser Massimiliano Gerina offered to provide his sperm for artificial insemination after the women approached him on the subject.

    Little Lorenzo Dominic may only be a few months old, but Snooki is thinking about getting pregnant again, and she's not being the least bit shy about it. (Imagine that.)

    She told Cosmopolitan, "I already want another baby. Jionni and I are building our house right now, but once it's built, then we're going to pop them out."

    Bam! You can't get much clearer than that as far as letting the world know about your baby-number-two-making plans goes.

    There's always something parents are collectively wringing their hands over, and this weeks it's Parenting While Old. We're starting our families later and later. Does this mean we're all going to be too old and rickety to pick up our genetically-warped babies when we do actually manage to squeeze them out? Thank you, this month's New Republic, for reminding us of yet another thing parents are doing wrong.

    The magazine cover features a grey-haired couple holding a baby with the headline, "The Grayest Generation: We're Having Kids Later Than Ever. We Have No Idea What We're Getting Into." Inside, Judith Shulevitz explores how screwed older parents and their kids are, what with the unknown dangers of fertility treatments and the age-related genetic and epigenetic mutations. Oh man, you KNOW you should be scared when they whip out the epigenetic mutations. Or should we be worried?

    In the up-and-down roller coaster of a relationship between Real Housewives of Orange County Gretchen Rossi and Slade Smiley, things are apparently looking up. So up, in fact, that Gretchen has announced to the world that she's ready to procreate, and she and Slade are working on having a baby.

    That's a pretty big change of heart from this past summer, when it seemed like they were headed for splitsville for good. So you've got to wonder about the change of heart, and, more importantly, why is she talking about getting pregnant now before she is, especially with a pretty big complication in their way.

    When a 37-year-old Australian woman was diagnosed with breast cancer, she never thought she'd survive her ordeal, let alone ever become a mother.

    But much to her surprise, she not only beat the disease -- she also wound up getting pregnant thanks to a breakthrough treatment using her own frozen ovarian tissue.

    Before she started her cancer treatments, doctors removed a strip of her ovarian tissue and froze it. And in April, her oncologists deemed her healthy enough to try and conceive, so the tissue was thawed and re-implanted in her body, which allowed her to begin ovulating again.

    The speculation over when and if she will ever actually have a baby has followed her ever since her Brad Pitt days, and now there are new rumors saying that Jennifer Aniston is using Fifty Shades of Grey to help her get pregnant with Justin Theroux's baby. You know, because Fifty Shades is all about having lots of sex and usually if you have lots of sex -- there's more of a likelihood that you'll conceive. (Sure, sounds easy enough.)

    According to one source:

    Jen and Justin are having the time of their life trying for a baby and Jen has been totally inspired by Fifty Shades of Grey and has acted out some of the scenes with Justin. They’re at is like crazy. She said they’ve been having wild fun with feathers and blindfolds and dirty talk.
