Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz may have been hanging out at the Ultimate Fighting Championship 86 after party in Las Vegas, but he had babies on the brain. Wentz and his newlywed wife Ashlee Simpson are expecting their first child together this fall.
“I talk to it all the time,” he tells People magazine. “The Expectant Father (by Armin A. Brott, available at Amazon.com) tells you that the woman, when she speaks, the baby hears her all the time. And the father’s voice isn’t familiar unless you talk to it, so I talk to it all the time.”
Besides getting advice from father-in-law Joe Simpson and his own father, he says this book is helping him prepare for his new role. “It tells you your partner’s moods month-by-month and week-by-week. It tells you why you’re feeling the way you are, how you can feel more involved in the pregnancy.”
Is your man reading a pregnancy or parenting book in preparation for the birth of your child?
Actress Nicole Kidman is preparing for the birth of her child by compiling her favorite songs to be played while she is giving birth to her fist child, reports the Daily Mail.
Due this summer, Kidman’s list includes songs from her hubby, country singer Keith Urban, but most of the songs are the classical melodies of Irish flautist Sir James Galway.
“Nicole has been putting together CDs of music to listen to during labor,” a source reports. “She has always loved James Galway, particularly his classical albums. Whenever you go to her house, she has Galway on. There is one Prokofiev sonata that is her favorite.”
Are you planning on playing music during your labor and delivery? We created a CD with music ranging from Coldplay to Enigma and I really felt like it help set the stage for me to be in a relaxed mood - or as relaxed as you can be when you are giving birth!

In honor of Father’s Day, I thought I would throw in some cute celebrity daddies to spotlight. Yes, drooling is allowed.
Actor Ben Affleck is seen making a Starbucks run with his 2 1/2-year-old daughter, Violet. “I love being a father,” he tells People magazine. “It’s wonderful. It’s changed my life. It all sounds like platitudes and cliches, and that’s because they’re the truth.”
Affleck and his wife, actress Jennifer Garner, are parents to little Violet.
What celebrity dad tops your list?
Pregnant actress Nicole Kidman and her husband, country singer Keith Urban, were recently seen checking out pregnancy and parenting books at a Nashville book store. Due in July, they know sex of the baby but are not revealing it to the public.
From the scarf tied around her neck to her purple Converse All-Stars, Kidman looks like she borrowed this maternity outfit straight out of the closet of mom-to-be Jessica Alba. Click here to check out Alba’s casual maternity style.
What books did they buy? They bought “Your Pregnancy, Week by Week,” ($10.85 at Amazon) and “Pocket Dad: Everyday Wisdom, Practical Tips and Fatherly Advice” ($9.22) at Amazon.
What pregnancy or parenting books would you recommend?
The Today show had a segment this morning that caught my eye: Lingerie for Red Hot Mamas. For all those hot moms-to-be, here is some lingerie that will keep the fires burning in the boudoir.
For underwear that is as cute as it is sexy, check out the “It’s a boy/girl” hipster underwear ($15) from bellablumaterniy.com. These cotton panties are cut to be forgiving to a pregnant woman’s body.
If you are looking for something with some real sizzle, you will love the Satin Charmeuse Slip ($26.50) from Victoria’s Secret. As this sexy gown shows, you don’t have to be stuck buying only “maternity” sleepwear. Look for an empire-waist cut with flowing material and adjustable straps.
Click below to watch the entire segment from the Today show.
New-daddy Gabriel Aubry plans on being prepared during his outing with his baby daughter Nahla Ariela. Forget about borrowing girlfriend Halle Berry’s diaper bag, Aubry is carrying his own cool Petunia Pickle Bottom Journey Scout Bag in Heather Grey.
Taking a tip from hip dads like Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck, Aubry knows the importance of having his own bag when taking care of the kids. This Scout bag is chock full of functional features including interior and exterior pockets galore, wipe-clean lining, adjustable shoulder strap and a changing pad. Your man will also love the custom antique brass hardware and the cool clip and ring front closure.
Pick up the Journey Scout Bag at Lullaby Lane for $89.99 (originally priced at $135).
Cookie magazine spoke with satellite radio’s “kindie rock” program director of XMKIDS Mindy Thomas about her favorite pregnancy playlist. These suggestions are sure to get you and your baby rockin’ out!
1. “They Call Me Big Mama,” by Big Mama Thornton
“This one starts out, “Well, they call me Big Mama cause I weigh 300 pounds.’ What’s more appropriate for a pregnant woman? You won’t be able to resist replacing your morning walk with a heart-pumping dance.”
2. “Cry Baby,” Janis Joplin
“Turn this on and just wallow in your aching back, swollen feet, and screaming bladder. By the time the song is over, you’ll feel so much better.”
3. “Mamas Don’t Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys,” Willie Nelson
“This is the only parenting advice you should ever take from Willie.”
4. “Push It” Salt-N-Pepae
“Way better than Lamaze. So obvious—why haven’t more people thought of it?”
5. “At Last,” Etta James
“One of the greatest love songs of all time for one of the greatest loves you’ll ever have.”
What is on your pregnancy play list?
Happy Valentine’s Day! If this is your first pregnancy or your fourth, you and your man should celebrate the fact that your love will bring a beautiful baby into the world.
Even though you will soon be a mother, don’t feel like you have to start looking “matronly.” Keep the spice alive in this Hanky Panky Babydoll/G Panty set ($59.99). You will be pleasantly surprised how comfortable the Hanky Panky G-string is, and your man will love how it looks!
Although the fiery red is perfect for today, you can wear this sexy set long after Valentine’s Day.
Do you really want to confuse your man? Slip on this “Not Tonight” Sleep Mask ($10) and watch him sweat!
It is tempting, but borrowing clothes from your man’s closet to cover your growing bump will actually make you look bigger. Of course, the occasional sleep shirt is acceptable, but you should not make his clothes your clothes.
IsabellaOliver.com explains why bigger is not better:
“Wearing ‘his’ clothing is a maternity mistake we all make. Tops fall off your shoulders, sag behind, and hang off your bump like a tablecloth. You lose your elegant silhouette and look (and feel) bigger than you are. And regular clothes need to go up a size each month to fit your bump. That’s why maternity designs that grow with you are better for your self-esteem and your budget.”
Details such as adjustable waistbands, side-shirring, ties and wraps are all features to look for when buying clothes that will grow with you.
The Garbo Trousers from Isabella Oliver (pictured) feature hidden side-adjusters and fit under your bump to ensure long-term wearability.
Between the cold, dry air and the constant dehydrating effects of the heater, your pregnancy skin is probably thirsty for some moisture. Your belly and your breasts are undergoing a period of rapid transition which also makes them susceptible to stretch mark and dryness.
To counteract these drying effects, slather on a rich and moisturizing cream as soon as you step out of the shower in the morning, and again at night.
Organic Oh Baby! Belly Butter by mi amore contains botanical butters and oils to increase elasticity and relieve dry, itchy skin. It is touted to help prevent stretch marks from forming on your belly, breasts and thighs.
It also contains the soothing scents of lavender and mandarin. After baby is born, continue to slather on the body butter to help your belly regain its elasticity.
Pick up Organic Oh Baby! Belly Butter ($33) at BellaBluMaternity.com.
Points and Prizes Keyword: LAVENDER worth 50 points good through 02/10/08.
