Charlotte Church and Gavin Henson Introduce Ruby Megan

---

Charlotte Church and boyfriend Gavin Henson Introduce their new baby Ruby in this weeks issue of OK Magazine.

The baby was delivered in a birthing pool in the singer’s country home outside of Cardiff. Charlotte told OK! magazine she was shopping with Gavin when she started to go into labour.

“[Gavin] accidentally locked me in the car and the alarm was going off, so people were coming out of B&Q hearing the alarm and looking at the car, and then seeing it’s Charlotte Church in there.”I was just trying to hide but couldn’t – just sitting there having contractions! I wanted to go for a meal in the Toby Carvery but the contractions were every five minutes so we came back.”

The couple was able to make it back to their home where Ruby was born weighing 6lbs 12ozs.

The star was on ‘gas and air’ during the birth so so couldn’t really concentrate, but after she was born she said:

“I’m really shocked by how I feel. It’s just instant massive amounts of love towards her.”

Here are some of the photos from their first photo shoot with the baby.

Charlotte has said that she is co-sleeping with the baby and that is not sitting well with Cot Death Charity Foundation for the Study of Infant Deaths.

They want her to know that she is putting her little baby daughter Ruby’s life at risk by making her sleep in bed with her.

“When we heard Charlotte was sharing a bed with her baby, we wanted to make sure she was making an informed decision about the risks,’ the Mirror quoted the association’s director Joyce Epstein, as saying.

“We supplied her with the relevant information. All our advice is based on proven research and it’s important that parents are aware of the risks,’ he added.

However, Church insists that it is just instinctive that she won’t roll.

“Gavin was worried about me rolling over and smothering her but I think it’s instinctive I wouldn’t,’ she said.

The Nesting Pod

---

The Nesting Pod is a plush open space that is perfect for sleeping babies while travelling or playing toddlers at Grandmas house.

I walked past this product at ABC and then turned back once I realized what it was.

This surprisingly spacious play/sleep space is great for travel or an outing to the park.

It is covered in a soft velour type material that is offered in 7 colours. It is worth considering if you are looking for a product that folds up nicely and is easy to set up.

Priced at $180 at select retailers

Expectant Mom Terri Polo At Sandals

---

Expectant mom, Teri Polo attended the Grand Opening of Mediterranean Village at Sandals Grande Antigua Resort & Spa Island this weekend in Antigua.

 

Teri is said to be seven months pregnant with her first child by boyfriend Jamie Wollam.

Am I the only one that thinks that there is no way that she only has 12 weeks left to go?

She was recently quoted as saying:

“I’m over the moon! It’s my favorite role, being a mom, I know we’re expecting a girl and I’m very, very excited.” While this will be the first child the actress and drummer have together, Polo has a 5-year-old son Griffin and Wollam has a 9-year-old son Carter from previous marriages.

The actress said her second pregnancy has been “easier physically.”

“I vowed from the start (not to eat the first thing in sight,) so I’m a lot smaller than I was with the first pregnancy.”

I guess whatever she is doing is working… SOURCE

Unique Way To Announce Your New Arrival

---

I recently came across these adorable animals at ABC.

They were created by a grandma that wanted a unique way to announce the arrival of her grandchild.

Since starting, she has tailored them to fit other occasions, such as pregnancy countdown, get well soon, message to the tooth fairy or a birthday greeting.

My favorite is the newest line that has the treasure pocket on the back. It is a creative way to hold your child’s first tooth without parents having to fish under the pillow.

• Cuddly Critter hangs from beautiful double-faced satin ribbon with attached bow.
• A stylish dry-erase heart (our exclusive design) is attached by Velcro so it removes and replaces easily.
• The dry-erase surface erases with no shadow – message after message.
• Heart is acid-free so parents can add baby’s footprints and/or permanent messages to the back of the heart for a very special keepsake.
• A dry erase marker hangs from its own holder on the critter – marker is encased to prevent leakage before purchase
• “It’s A Boy” or “It’s A Girl” curly ribbon on a Peel ‘n Stick tab is optional — new parents can attach it anywhere they want on the critter, cards, heart or the ribbon
• At 15″ – 18″ in length, a-door-nimals are the perfect size to adorn a hospital door, nursery and to cuddle!

Please visit the official site for more information. The animals retail for $22
