Angelina Jolie’s Doctor Assures Everything Is Okay

July 2nd, 2008 Taylor Blue Posted in Angelina Jolie, Baby News, Brad Pitt, Celebrity Kids, Expecting, Twins No Comments »

Angelina Jolie’s obstetrician, Dr. Michel Sussmann, held a press conference today in France to update everyone on Angelina’s condition…

“Everything is normal,” the obstetrician said in French, as he also said in English, “She is very well, and she’s okay.”

“It is simply a visit of surveillance, no birth,” Sussmann said of his patient, who entered the hospital over the weekend. “Brad and Angie want everyone to know that everything is going well.”

Saying that Jolie’s “very, very nice,” the doctor added, “She will stay in the hospital until the birth. I will stay with her.”

I still can’t get over the thought of a press conference for a person but at least we know where they stand.

Angelina Jolie Has Been Admitted Into The Hospital

July 1st, 2008 Taylor Blue Posted in Angelina Jolie, Baby News, Brad Pitt, Celebrity Kids, Expecting, Shiloh Jolie-Pitt, Twins No Comments »

It is being reported by the Associated Press that Angelina Jolie has been admitted into a hospital in France.

Angelina Jolie has checked into a hospital in the south of France where she is expected to give birth to her twins, a hospital spokesman said Tuesday.

Nadine Bauer, press attache for the Lenval Hospital in Nice, said Jolie is fine and that everything is going well. She said Jolie’s admittance to the maternity wing had been planned for some time.

Bauer said the 33-year-old actress will almost certainly remain in the hospital until she gives birth. She said Jolie was admitted so she could be kept under normal surveillance - and is not expected to give birth immediately.

“There’s no urgency. It’s been planned for a long time,” she said. “She’s very well. Everything is fine.”

This will be the fifth and sixth child for Brad Pitt and Angelina. Their other children are Maddox, 6; Pax, 4; Zahara, 3; and Shiloh, 2.

Mom Of Sextuplets Runs Marathon

June 19th, 2008 Taylor Blue Posted in Baby News No Comments »

Jenny Masche had sextuplets a year ago and has already run a marathon! During this year of madness learning to be to be a new mom of six she somehow managed to train for the marathon. What did Jenny say how she was able to do it?

“Because they’re good sleepers,” Jenny told Meredith Vieira during an exclusive interview on TODAY Thursday in New York. “As soon as I put them down at 7 o’clock at night, I’d literally throw my running shoes on and my friend and I would go and run for like two hours.”

Jenny’s husband, Bryan Masche, was able to talk about the sextuplets during the interview too…

Bryan Masche said that the amazing thing about their first year is discovering “just how good they’ve been. They don’t fuss a lot. They’re not really big complainers. They’re just really good babies. They sleep well. It really is less scary than I made it out to be in my mind.”

After all the training how was the marathon for Jenny?

“The marathon was so fun for me — until I hit 21 miles,” Jenny recounted. “Then you hit a wall. You push through and you’re so exhilarated. It’s not unlike raising six children through the first year of life. I hit walls taking care of them sometimes. I don’t want to get out of bed. But then you push past them and there’s something exhilarating on the other side.”

Jenny can be an inspiration to us all. I sometimes don’t feel like I want to get out of bed too. But I should be thankful I have two kids to take care of instead of six like the Masche family!

An Exclusive With Mom-To-Be Marissa Jaret Winokur

June 9th, 2008 Taylor Blue Posted in Baby News, Expecting, Interviews, Marissa Jaret Winokur 1 Comment »

Marissa Jaret Winokur (recently from Dancing With The Stars) was at the top of her game in 2000, living her dream and being on Broadway when the unspeakable happened, she was diagnosed with Cervical Cancer. She went on with her life because that’s they way she wanted it, getting a hysterectomy and going on to win to a Tony for her performance in Hairspray. What was the reason Marissa had cancer? HPV-a sexually transmitted virus.

Marissa now is an advocate of HPV. Something that can be caught and treated. You can totally recover from HPV, if it is caught soon enough. And this isn’t a deadly disease, you just may lose your child bearing organs because of it. Marissa speaks to people about how they can prevent the disease, she feels that if she didn’t it would be selfish of her to know the information and not help others with it.

I had a chance to attend a seminar of sorts that was held by The HPV Test people to bring out the information to everyone. I myself have had a hysterectomy (and I have found out through the seminar that I should still get tested for HPV even though my doctor said no) and I can still try to help others in getting their HPV tests. Marissa stressed that if you are over the age of 30 you must ask your doctor for the test. They won’t give it to you unless they find your PAP is abnormal…which Marissa’s was abnormal only after she found out she already had Cancer. So stress to your doctor that you are being an advocate for yourself and your health and ask for the test. (Also, I need to note, even if you have had the HPV vaccine it doesn’t mean you are 100% protected, you should still have a HPV test yearly.)

If your HPV test comes out positive it doesn’t mean you have Cancer, it means the doctor will keep a closer eye on you to prevent it. So you win in the end.

Now, Marissa got to keep her ovaries when she had her hysterectomy, and is now having a baby through a surrogate. (I also found out that she has comes to KnockedUpCelebs too, so if you are reading Marissa, HELLO!!) She said her baby boy is due in six weeks and couldn’t be more excited. You can’t help but be happy for her too when she smiles the way she does!

Go to the website, The HPV Test, and find out more information about HPV and how you can prevent getting Cervical Cancer. In the end, we’ll all be winning.

UPDATE: As part of Marissa Jaret Winokur’s ongoing pledge to herself she is wanting women to go out and pledge that they will empower themselves and get the HPV test. Go The HPV Test for more information on her pledge and see the Q&A session that I got to attend myself.
