People confirmed this morning that Ashlee and Pete welcomed a son Thursday night. Bronx Mowgli Wentz weighed 7 lbs., 11 oz., and was 20 1/2 in. long.

A spokesperson for the couple told People, "Ashlee, Pete and baby Bronx are all healthy and happy, and thank everyone for their well wishes!"  

The couple announced her pregnancy in May, a few weeks after their Alice's Adventures In Wonderland-themed wedding. Ashlee told People, "I would love to have a big family one day." Then Pete added, "A big soccer team or a band!" 

People also noted that Pete has been leaning on rocker pal Joel Madden, father of 9-month-old Harlow, for tips on fatherhood. "Joel gives me advice. [It's] been really awesome for me to go to another person my age."

Congratulations to Ashlee and Pete!

"Invite people to grope you on your terms" is how this fun gift idea is described on Nick's Parents Connect site. 

Touch My Tummy Temporary Tattoos are such a cute idea. They are temporary tattoos that serve as an instruction manual for the "touchy-feelies that will give them a laugh and keep you lighthearted about losing your personal space." The kit includes "Feel Here" labels that allow you to designate acceptable hand positions, while a "Don't Touch!" one can help you to take control when "random well-meaners try to cop a feel."

Available at perpetual kid for $4.99

Described as "the breathable diaper you can flush" and "the best of cloth and disposable in an earth-friendly diaper," gDiapers consist of a washable, cotton "little g" pant and a plastic-free flushable diaper refill. Like sports clothing, they are made of breathable material so babies stay happy and dry and are less likely to get diaper rash. What's more, if you are unable to flush them away because you're out and about, it's ok to toss them in the garbage or even use the wet ones as garden compost. They will break down in about 50-150 days!

I love it because they say once you get the hang of it, the process comes as naturally as recycling your newspaper. I'm all about recycling, so I'm all for these gDiapers!

Check out the gDiaper Starter Kit, available for $26.99.

Access Hollywood has confirmed that actor Scott Wolf and his wife Kelley are expecting their first child together. 

Scott and Kelley, a former "Real World: New Orleans" cast member, were married in May of 2004 and are said to be "very excited over the news." He also told Access Hollywood that they are expecting a boy but not when the little one is actually due. I guess we're just going to have to keep checking back.

Congrats to Scott and Kelley!

Nancy O'Dell of Access Hollywood is releasing a book of "mom-to-mom tips" for pregnant women this coming April. Her publisher has announced the book Full of Life: Mom to Mom Tips I Wish Someone Had Told Me When I Was Pregnant. It will include everything from unusual cravings that Nancy had to what really goes on in the delivery room. 

Nancy tells People, "When I was pregnant with my precious baby girl, my biggest craving was information ... I read every pregnancy book I could get my hands on, but quickly discovered there are many things that are not covered in those books." She said she wanted to share in a simple, fun, straightforward book all those "crazy, unexpected, sometimes disgusting, sometimes hilarious things that happen during pregnancy."

I'm sure many of us will be looking forward to the release of Nancy's book this coming April!

"Lounge in it. Work in it. Live in it. You'll wonder what you ever did without it..."

Truer words have never been spoken, and I'm not just being dramatic! The Everyday Cami from ingrid & isabel (famous for the Bella Band) is, by far, my favorite item of maternity clothing.

Described as a "lush, seamless-knit camisole with a crêpe finish," the Everyday Cami can be worn with anything! It's super-soft on your skin and cut extra-long to keep your belly covered throughout your entire pregnancy. Wear it to hug and support your growing tummy, create a smooth silhouette under your cute maternity tops, or cover any skin that might show under your favorite pre-pregnancy tops.

And the best part? It won't fade or lose its elasticity with frequent washing and wearing. So go ahead - like the name says - wear it every day!

Find a store that carries the Everyday Cami and the rest of the Essentials Collection here.

Country singer and former American Idol Josh Gracin and his wife Ann Marie welcomed a daughter, Isabella Sophia, last Wednesday. People reports that Isabella is the couple's fourth child, joining sisters Briana and Gabby, as well as her brother Landon.

Isabella was born in Nashville weighing 8 lbs., 15 o.z. Josh tells People, "She's the biggest of all our babies, outweighs the others by a pound and a half and is an inch longer than our other three at birth." He goes on to say, "With three girls and one boy, I'm afraid our son Landon is going to suffer the same fate as me growing up with four sisters. He's going to have to learn to hold his own."

Josh and Ann Marie started dating in 1997 while they were still in high school. They were married in 2001 right after he finished boot camp.

Congratulations to the Gracin family!

Comedian Rob Corddry and his wife Sandra welcomed their second daughter, Marlo Stevenson Corddry, on November 12. Shortly after, Rob's rep confirmed with People that both mother and daughter were doing well.

Rob and Sandra had their first daughter Sloane in July of 2006. Rob joked about name choices two months before his daughter was born. "We have a short list of names that we are considering," Rob told People. "My 2-year-old is pretty set on the name 'Freeka.' She also likes 'Laura Berkner,' but that sounds weird in front of Corddry. We may just go with 'Baby the Entertainer.'"

Congratulations to Rob and Sandra!

Adam Sandler announced that he and his wife welcomed their second baby last Tuesday, according to People. On his website Adam posted, "Jackie and Adam had a beautiful baby girl, Sunny Madeline on November 2," and goes on to say, "Everyone is happy and healthy. 

Adam and his wife Jackie married in May of 2003 and also have a 2 year-old-daughter, Sadie, who was born in May of 2006. 

Adam explained his wife's second pregnancy to his daughter during a May appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno. "My little daughter is always looking at her and is nervous to see her mom sick like that. So I had to try to relax my daughter, just saying, 'Mommy's not like, bad sick. She just has something growing in her that's eventually gonna shoot out her vagina and take half your toys.'"

Congratulations to the Sandler family!

Another wonderful find at Isabella Oliver, the Cocoon Coat! This coat is perfect both during and after your pregnancy. 

"Baukjen wanted a luxe, sophisticated cocoon shaped maternity coat and this is the result with soft leather trim," says Vanessa, co-designer. This great coat has voluminous shape, with leather trim and belt with a front zip. With all their other creations, Isabella Oliver has done it again with this one, I believe, because it not only looks comfortable, but it's so unique and beautiful! A great way to keep warm and stylish with the winter coming on so fast!

This is something I see as family fun and lots of laughs. Well, at least with my family it would be! This is the Hang in the Balance Board available at The Land of Nod. This balance board game features three different insert games and is a fun and challenging way to increase balance. The inserts are the figure 8, maze and mouse games. They are easily changed and feature varying levels of difficulty. But remember, athletic shoes are recommended and it's for ages 3 and up. The weight limit is up to 265 lbs., so like I said, it's fun for the entire family!

Available at The Land of Nod for $89

"He's super mellow, and at the moment very Buddha-like," Gavin Rossdale told People at BAFTA/LA's Brittania Awards on Thursday night where he performed. 

Gavin's son Zuma is now two months old and is already exhibiting a "Zen-like" personality that is inspiring to him. Gavin also goes on to say that Zuma has been a little fussier then his older brother Kingston, 2, for mom Gwen Stefani. He says that Kingston was an even more blissed-out baby. 

"What I've found from having children is that they just want to make you be better," says Gavin."Beforehand, without children, I think that I was probably more reckless and thinking a bit less about the consequences, and now I want to make sure I'm good for them when they check me out."

On top of it all, Gavin is set to release his first official solo album, Wanderlust, along with the hit single Love Remains the Same.
