My favorite are the donut shaped pendants that have a mod 60's look to them, so you won't actually look like you are wearing a teething ring!

Baby Clothes with International Flair!

Il Cocco di Mamma makes some super cute and soft baby tees with international sayings printed on them.

I recently checked out the soft, baby blue "bello" lap tee. (Bello is Italian for handsome.) What an adorable shirt for a baby boy. They also make a pink version with "bella" (beautiful) printed on the front.

My favorite has to be the "cielo" organic baby onesie. (Cielo is Spanish for Heaven Sent.) The organic European cotton is extremely soft and the Spanish saying is so sweet for a new baby. The front of the onesie features blue clouds around the word "cielo" and printed on the back of the onesie is the English translation. Stylish, sophisticated and organic. What more could a mom ask for?

Check out all the styles at Il Cocco di Mamma.com. Ciao!

New Spa-like Belly Casting Kit

Every pregnant women should make an imprint of her bulging belly to keep as a reminder of this amazing time. Belly casts make great nursery room artwork and keepsakes. I hung my own in my son's nursery with a simple white ribbon.

Belly Vita makes an interesting casting kit that I look forward to trying out next time I'm pregnant. It is touted as more of a spa experience than just another messy casting kit. The Belly Vita Belly Imprint is made with a single piece of sculpting fabric, instead of the strips most use. The best part is that the kit also includes an aromatherapy Balancing Belly Oil to be massaged on your belly as the first step in the casting process. The belly oil contains lavender, neroli, frankincense, palmarosa and rosewood. Besides smelling great, these essential oils are said to help prevent stretch marks and are safe for pregnancy. Plus, you can use the extra oil for a foot massage (something a very pregnant woman would certainly appreciate).

The Lovelines organic crib set, features a sweet dreamlike print in pink and natural, and the Supercharged organic crib set features a super cool tire tread and muscle car print.

Practical and Beautiful!

This bottle drying rack from Skip Hop is too cool. It looks like a piece of modern art but performs the most mundane of duties. The perfect place to dry up to nine bottles, nipples and valves. It even includes a brush to get at the little milk ring that's always left at the bottom of baby bottles. The hard part is choosing which color you want.

Marcia Cross Loves Being A Mom!

In People magazine's newest issue, Marci Cross talks about being a mom and loving every minute of it.

Marcia Cross, 45, and her husband Tom Mahoney welcomed their twin daughters, Eden and Savannah, on February 20th. Marcia told People, "I wanted to be a member of that club so badly, and now I'm in and it's so much better than I even imagined." She even enjoys the predictable routine. "I'll tell you my routine – it's really exciting. I feed, I burp, I change diapers, I pump. And then I have a tiny window of time to myself."

Cross and Mahoney, 49, struggled to become parents. "We did in vitro a week after we got married. We were supposed to go to Greece and Paris and have this fancy honeymoon, and I said, 'Let's stay put and see if we can't give this baby a chance.' " Marcia became pregnant with twins, but the struggle didn't end there. Cross developed preeclampsia, a disorder that raises blood pressure and threatens both mother and baby, four weeks before her due date. The doctors quickly scheduled a cesarean section and she gave birth to Savannah, 6 lbs. 7 oz., and Eden, 5 lbs. 10 oz. Marcia exclaimed, "I had over 12 lbs. of baby in me!"

Now that Cross is home with the twins, she is mastering the art of breast feeding two babies at once. She also isn't totally ruling out the possibility of having more children. "I'm probably done...but I certainly can see why people keep going. I'm in heaven right now."

Congratulations Marcia and Tom!

Charlotte Church Announces Pregnancy!

Singer Charlotte Church announced her pregnancy today.

Charlotte posted on her web site that she and her boyfriend, Gavin Henson, are "delighted." Church went on to say, "In an ideal world, we would not have made this announcement so early in the pregnancy. However, due to recent speculation and persistent questions from the media about this most private of matters, Charlotte felt she had no choice other than to go public and she was keen to ensure that her fans had the opportunity to read the truth here first." Rumors started circulating when Church was seen abstaining from alcohol at her 21st birthday party.

Welsh born Charlotte has performed for Pope John Paul II and President Clinton. She was named GQ's Woman of the Year in 2005. Her boyfriend, Gavin, is a rugby star.
