American Gladiator host Laila Ali, who is expecting her first child (a boy!) any day now has blogged about some of her favorite baby gear.
She writes:
“Well, this baby boy can come any day now! I am in my 36th week of pregnancy. Time has gone by so quickly. I have been busy setting up his nursery and choosing all of the products that I feel are best for him. It has not been easy as there is so much out there being marketed to parents. I have managed to find some items that I really like. Of course, we all have our own preferences when it comes to our children, but I thought it would be cool to share with you some of my favorite items that I have in my nursery.”
Ali, who is a celebrity baby herself being the daughter of boxing champ Muhammad Ali, will rock her baby to sleep with the JJ Cole 4 Piece Crib Bedding Set in Blue Bullseye. Available for $150 from Amazon.com, this modern blue and brown bedding includes a pleated crib skirt, 100% cotton fitted sheet, reversible bumper and comforter.

Actress Jessica Alba recently revealed to Us Weekly magazine all the fabulous details on her daughter’s nursery. Alba and her fiancé Cash Warren, are expecting their first child, a daughter, any day now.
Alba is using a pink, lavender and white color scheme to create a nursery that is girly, as well as bohemian. Designer Kari Whitman bought the mom-to-be a gift to compliment her nursery. “I gave Jessica this cool wall hanging by Paul Smith that makes the whole room. It’s a funky hippie tapestry.”
The Fabulous Four star says she wants to create an eco-friendly nursery for her daughter.
“I’ve been into anything ecofriendly or sustainable for a little while now,” she says. “I wanted to make this environment as nontoxic as possible. When I was doing research on furniture, I thought NurseryWorks was really cute. I told them wanted formaldehyde-free wood and low VOC paint, and they were like, ‘That’s our line.’ And it’s not just for one sex. If I have a boy in a few years, it’s something I can use. Also, all of the furniture grows with the kid. The bed becomes a toddler trundle, and the changing table can be just another dresser.”
Jessica purchased the Nurseryworks Two Wide Changing Table ($1200) from Bel Bambini.
