Laila Ali Enjoys Motherhood

Karl Erikson — Thu, 30 Oct 2008 19:29:00 GMT

Laila Ali, 30, has written about stay-at-home moms and breastfeeding in a recent blog. Her biggest surprise of motherhood so far is the breastfeeding. "When a woman decides to nurse her child, she practically becomes a 24-hour milk machine. Not to mention the soreness that comes along with it," Laila says. "You better believe that I got a hold of a breast pump machine real quick so that my husband can help feed the baby at night and during the day!"

9-week-old Curtis Muhammad is definitely keeping Laila busy, but the former "American Gladiators" host and boxer is committed to nursing him for at least 6 months. "There are so many health benefits for babies who are nursed and I can't imagine not taking advantage of the custom made supply that God gave me for my child."

She's so in love with her son. "That is a good thing because he needs so much time and attention." Because of that, she's not working on any projects at the moment. She's devoting 100% of her time to C.J. "I now know why some women quit their jobs and become stay at home moms!"

C.J. is Laila's first child with husband Curtis Conway, who has 3 children from a previous marriage. Look how cute C.J. is!

Celebrity Bumps - Summer Edition

Sassy Smith — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 11:04:00 GMT

There's something in the water in celebrityland because there are a lot of actresses/singers/models who are expecting right now! It's a Tinseltown baby boom. Here a few summertime baby bumps....

Photos after the jump!

Gwen Stefani - she's due any second now - she was spotted heading into the hospital a few days ago but apparently not to give birth. Very soon though! This will be baby number two for her and husband Gavin Rossdale. Son Kingston is 2.

Minnie Driver - she's about ready to pop any time now as well! She's been seen out and about, doing some shopping, getting ready for her first child. Still no word on just who the baby daddy is.

Lisa Marie Presley - pregnant with her third AND fourth children - yup it's twins! The pretty 40-year-old daughter of the late Elvis Presley is expecting her first children with husband Michael Lockwood. She has two teens from a previous marriage. She recently bared her pregnant belly in Marie Claire magazine.

Ashlee Simpson - pregnant with her first child with Pete Wentz, due sometime in October. She's been seen sporting hippy headbands and flowy dresses. She does look great, I have to admit - well minus the headband please! She and Pete are rumored to be expecting a girl.

Naomi Watts - due with baby number two - she and Liev Schreiber have son Alexander, 1, and are expecting a girl. Watts likes to spend big bucks on diaper bags.

Gillian Anderson - she's expecting baby number 3, second with husband Mark Griffiths. Anderson has an 11-year-old daughter, Piper, with her ex and she and Mark have a son, Oscar, 20-months-old. Gillian is a lazy, eating, pregnant chick - she rocks.

Laila Ali - pregnant with her first child (husband Curtis Conway has 3 older children from a previous relationship), a boy, who they are planning to name Curtis Jr. She's due sometime in September and plans to have a homebirth.

Jen Garner - she and husband Ben Affleck have one of the cutest celebrity kids - daughter Violet. Violet, 2, will be a big sister in a few short months. Everyone under the sun has confirmed their second pregnancy even though Jennifer herself has made no announcement. Hopefully they'll have a boy this time!

See? Lots of celebrity bumps! And that's not all either - there's more celebs expecting as well - Amy Poehler, Luciana Barroso (Matt Damon's wife), Alessandra Ambrosio, Gina Lee Nolan, Alison Sweeney, Amy Jo Johnson, Jackie Sandler (Adam Sandler's wife), Caroline Rhea, Jenna Jameson, Rebecca Romijn, Charlotte Church, Erykah Badu (rumor so far), Amy Fisher and there's more still, but it's time to take my medication.

Hulk Gives Advice?

Laila Ali, who is six months pregnant, has recently recieved some parenting advice from co-host Hulk Hogan.

"Just teach them the right things, lead them the right way and then you have to give them the space to do their own thing," was his sage advice.

Too bad hindsight is 20/20, right Hulk?
