If you hear tiny bells when I walk by, it’s my baby bola from Oz Born Products. These charming necklaces are meant to be worn from about 20 weeks onward. They are silver or enamel ball shaped pendants that hang at belly level. When you shake them and as they bounce against your bump they make a gentle chiming noise that the baby can actually hear. After the baby is born they make an interesting nursing necklace and the chiming noise is calming to baby.

I actually find myself shaking the little ball to calm myself down several times a day, so I can attest to it’s efficacy. Something about that chime-y noise is so soothing. Baby Bolas make a thoughtful gift for pregnant pals or treat yourself to a little instant serenity. They have several variations of the product and prices range from $24.90 to $49.00.

Olympic gold medalist Dominique Moceanu Canales, 26, and her husband Michael Canales, 30, welcomed Carmen Noel on Christmas Day, and the parents introduce their daughter — dressed in a Santa suit! — today. Dominique says,

She truly is a beautiful and peaceful baby. Christmas miracles still do exist!

Proud dad Mike joked that perhaps Carmen’s early yet perfectly planned arrival is a glimpse of things to come — such as a possible gymnastics future,

Carmen was a very pleasant surprise, considering she was supposed to be born on January 3. Baby and Mommy are both very well. Baby appears to have innate discipline!

Update: Michelle writes on her official site,

Yesterday morning I started receiving calls and emails from people saying congratulations and I was very confused!I am absolutely 110% not pregnant. While that would be an amazing thing, I am far too busy working to get this album outand will be too busy touring and promoting this album that this would be a terrible time to add to our little family.

I have no idea how this happened. (Maybe it’s Vanessa Carlton and they got confused *wink.* Just kidding!)Happy New Year!M
