When Alison Sweeney became pregnant with her second child — a girl due in January — she was sure she had the pregnancy routine down after going through it with her first child, Benjamin Edward, 3 ½. The actress — who dealt with more morning sickness this time around — was quick to realize, however, that "each pregnancy is a completely different experience."

Contrary to rumors, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has not been house-hunting in Chicago and New York City. In a new interview with the Canadian Press the 23-year-old songstress, who expects a baby with husband Pete Wentz this fall, says that while the couple has not yet decided where they’ll ultimately raise their child “for the first year we’ll stay in California.”
The couple also have no plans to record music together. Their careers — including Pete’s as the bassist for Fall Out Boy — are something Ashlee says they like to keep separate, adding “we collaborate on other things, like making a baby.” That baby has sparked a creative frenzy in Ashlee, who is branching out into the world of fashion design. She says she also enjoys knitting, but hasn’t made anything for baby — yet.
I think your mother instincts really kick in the day you find out that you’re pregnant […]

Diane Farr and husband Seung Chung welcomed twin daughters yesterday, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles. Sawyer Lucia weighed in at 4 lbs, 12 oz. while Coco Trinity, born one minute later, weighed in at 5 lbs, 14 oz. Both were 19 inches long. Diane and Seung shared that the names have deep personal meaning; Sawyer is a family name on the Farr side, while Coco is named after an island in the Maldives that the couple visited during their honeymoon in 2006. In an exclusive statement to People.com, Diane thanked her midwife and the doctor who tended to her during the births of her "little ladies," adding,
Iâm really glad that I got to 36 weeks with multiples.
The new baby girls — who will enjoy a ballerina-themed nursery — join big brother Beckett Mancuso, 17 months, at home. The pregnancy was revealed in April.
