Celebaby: Model Mums

Just to make all of us mere mortal mums feel inadequate, today's Celebaby features the model mums  (well at least that's what they do for a living, I can't comment on their parenting skills obviously)  Claudia Schiffer and Gisele Bunchen.

All the Cs

Celebaby: Model MumsSo the lovely Claudia gave birth to her new baby daughter a couple of weeks ago on May 14th, but since then all the excitement and speculation has been on what monika this little girly was going to be given!

The sensible money was on her name beginning with a C - after all there's Claudia (aged 39 - how does she still look like she did 15 years ago!)  then Caspar (aged 7) and Clementine (aged 5) and if you didn't know, no her husband's name doesn't begin with a C; she's married to film director Matthew Vaughn.

But the name was finally revealed yesterday: Cosima Violet Vaughn Drummond.

I have no idea where the Drummond bit fits in to all of this and I wonder if her name will get shortened to Cosi'?  That'll be fun when everyone's getting ready to go swimming...."Have you got your cosi, Cosi?" *grin*

But seriously now, Cosima comes from the Greek word Kosmos which means order or decency and I must confess, I think it's rather pretty.

From all of us here at PlayPennies HQ - congrats Claudia and welcome to the world Cosima!

3 months later...

Celebaby: Model MumsI know what I looked like three months after each of my pregnancies and it wasn't pretty, well the word pretty could be used but only in conjunction with the word horrendous.

Gisele Bundchen, however, only needs to have the word amazing tacked on to the end of pretty!  She's been photographed for Vogue with 3-month-old son Daniel wearing just a little tiny pair of shorts, and a little top and looking utterly fantastic.

Just to rub salt in to the stretch marks (she doesn't appear to have any of those either and I'm telling myself that because of my good friend Photoshop) the birth was supposedly painless, she was up and about being super-busy and cooking the very next day (yeah, well I did THAT!) and despite putting on 30lbs whilst up the duff, she got her pre-preggo figure back almost straight away!

If she and Daniel didn't look so cute in this photo I think I might just have to stick it up on the wall and throw darts at it *sigh*

Celebaby: What's In A Name and Claudia Bares ALL!

In today's Celebaby we look at how actress Amanda Peet and her hubby decided on the second name for their daughter and Claudia Schiffer bares all...literally!

You decide, no you decide, no YOU decide!

Celebaby: What's In A Name and Claudia Bares ALL!Actress Amanda Peet and her husband, David Benioff, have recently welcomed their second daughter, Molly June, into the big wide world.  That pesky volcanic ash cloud almost prevented David from being there for Molly's debut on the outside but luckily he managed to jump on a flight out of Rome to New York just in time.

However, a bigger drama ensued when it came to deciding on a name for their new arrival!

Amanda has revealed, "We were fighting about it a lot and you can’t leave the hospital until you sign the paper with the name so we got right up to the point where the nurse was trying to usher us to leave!  We still couldn’t choose between Maya June and Molly June. So finally David … tore off two little pieces of paper, wrote the names on each paper, and put them behind his back. I chose one of them and it was Maya and then I got really upset.”

So there you have it!  If you can't decide on a name for your baby pick straws, put names into a hat or toss a coin and you'll soon find out which name you REALLY want after all.

Dare to Bare...?

Celebaby: What's In A Name and Claudia Bares ALL!Supermodel mum Claudia Schiffer's certainly been brave enough to bare all for the cover of Vogue magazine.

Pregnant women across the globe are either applauding her for looking so great or sobbing quietly at the magazine stands and want to stick pins in her eyes for looking so great - if you're in the latter category, take heart as I'm sure the photographers' friend Photoshop gave a little bit of a helping hand.

There's no denying she looks stunning in this photograph,  and with all the right 'help' any pregnant mum could be look as good,  I just can't help but feel that pregnant celebrities baring all for the covers of magazines is a bit tired and passe now; ground-breaking and fantastic when Demi Moore first did it way-back-when, but now...?

Maybe I'm just being overly cynical and if you're a Claudia fan you'll be in the applauding camp, but for me it's just money for old rope and, I'm sure, a hefty increase to Claudia's bank balance.

Celebaby: Claudia Schiffer's Bump

Celebaby: Claudia Schiffer's BumpOk, now you might need a magnifying glass for this post.

There really is a baby bump there somewhere!

Behold, the modern miracle of motherhood that is Claudia Schiffer. The ubermodel is seven months pregnant and expecting her third child in May. So we've absolutely no idea how she manages to look so svelte and streamlined on the school run but she does, and thus, we are in awe.

The Daily Mail reports that Claudia is all about surrounding herself with positivity when pregnant. She said; 'Definitely in pregnancy the number one important factor is happiness, surround yourself with positiveness.' But she also added that pregnancy isn't a licence to eat for two, saying; 'You do need to work out and you do need to watch what you eat.'

We reckon knowing more than a thing or two about style and fashion must help  her look fabulous when pregnant, too.
Go, Claudia, you're rocking the Glamour Mama look and the Playpennies team salute you!
