The magazine which brought you the Stinky Diaper awards wants you to know that it’s not all doom and gloom in the world of celebrity babies and their parents.  Babytalk recently announced the winners of its 2008 ‘Golden Pacifier’ Awards, honoring "baby advocating newsmakers and pro-moms," and several CBB regulars have been singled out.

Winner of the ‘Knocked Up, Grown Up’ award goes to Nicole Richie.  Babytalk lauded Nicole’s transformation from Hollywood wild-child to responsible, earnest mom in the months leading up to — and since — the birth of daughter Harlow Winter Kate, 4 ½-months.  Also garnering points with the magazine was the establishment by Nicole and boyfriend Joel Madden of the Richie-Madden Children’s Foundation, through which the couple has donated thousands upon thousands of dollars worth of baby goods to needy parents. 

The magazine raised a "tall, curvy goblet of sparkling grape juice" to celebrity moms like Salma Hayek (shown at right; mom to Valentina Paloma, 8-months), Halle Berry (mom to Nahla Ariela, 11-weeks tomorrow) and others who gained the "requisite 30-plus pounds" with their pregnancies.  Babytalk cheered these formerly pregnant celebs who "went through pregnancy resembling not snakes that swallowed basketballs but, rather, the ripe, round, and alluringly busty beauties they should be during the all-important nine months."

Get ready, get set, get packed!  It’s the end of your pregnancy and if you are like me you likely have lists out the wazoo of all the stuff you want/need to pack for your upcoming delivery. The only problem is that you feel more like getting a pedicure and taking a long nap than rushing out to the pharmacy for some travel sized shampoo and conditioner and a pack of hairbands and lollipops. Putting together a hospital bag during your third trimester can be a real drag.  Fortunately there are options to make it easier like the pre-packed hospital bags from 5 Minutes Apart. 

5 Minutes Apart puts together a complete list of what you’ll need to have ready on the big day and then gets you up and rolling with a stylish, rolling bag filled with all the toiletry essentials you will need — plus a few little extras. Their supplies are luxurious and nurturing, bringing a little spa pampering to your hospital room. And if anyone deserves a little pampering, it’s you, mama!

Singer Daniela Magun, a former member of the musical group Kabah, confirmed at the Sex and the City movie premiere that she is two months along with her first child.  While Daniela and her husband, Jack Chernintsky had hoped to keep the pregnancy under wraps until she was in her second trimester, Daniela let the news slip when a reporter asked her if it was true that they were expecting a baby. 

After she had made the announcement and said her only pregnancy symptom so far is just being very tired, she mentioned to the reporters that no one knew yet — not even her own family!

While this is the first child for the couple, Jack has two daughters from a previous relationship.

Funnyman Will Arnett, 37, got plenty of practice being a part of a family — albeit a dysfunctional one — with his role in Arrested Development, but he’s hoping that his parenting advice won’t be coming from any lessons he learned from his on-screen family!  When he was asked if he had learned anything over the years from a parenting perspective from the show, Will quickly answered,

I hope not!

Will, who’s expecting his first child in late fall with wife, actress Amy Poehler, 36, is "really excited about becoming a father" and Amy even has some names picked out!

I’m just going to name my kids numbers.  New Dude, Little Dude, Old Dude, and Eight: George Foreman.

Will and Amy have been married since 2003.
