i love you so much gwen!!
your my favorite actrice!!!

Oh, and obviously, when I commented about checking PEOPLE magazine at “stories, libaries, etc.”, I meant to say “stores” not “stories”! LOL!

I forgot to add that, when Angie was still pregnant, her costar Dustin Hoffman (from either Kung Fu Panda or The Changeling. I can’t remember which) mentioned that her due date was August 19th. If that was true (and I do strongly belive that Knox and Viv were, at the ver least, due sometime in August, as twins often come early and Angie even mentioned in the PEOPLE photoshoot and interview about the twins that she knew they’d be premature), then Zuma was born just two days after Knox and Viv were due!

I wonder (again, if the August 19th due date was corret) if Angie and Gwen would have given birth days apart again had Angie been pregnant with a singleton instead of twins?

Congrats to Gwen and Gavin! I’ve been on vacation the last three weeks (at a place with no computer) so I hadn’t heard a thing about Gwen giving birth. I checked PEOPLE magazine regularly when I was at stories, libraries, etc. When I still didn’t see any news late last week, I began to get a bit worried. For a moment or two I even wondered if the baby had been stillborn or something.

I quickly realized, though, that there was almost no way they could have kept that quiet had that been the case, given how famous they. Plus, none of the tabs were running any rumors about her.

I now realize that the reason the birth wasn’t mentioned in last week’s PEOPLE is because Zuma was born on Thursday…and People hits stores and mailboxes on Friday!

Anyway, I was hoping they’d have a girl, but had a feeling they’d have a boy! As for the C-section thing: For all we know, Zuma could have been breech just like his big brother! My brother was breech…and when my mom became pregnant with me a little over two years later, I turned out to breech as well. In otherwords, my mom wouldn’t have been able to attempt a VBAC even if she’d wanted to (never mind that VBACs were even less common then than they are today)!

The name is horrendous. I don’t get why people think they need to try and make their child’s life miserable by giving them such ridiculous names.

Are they afraid they child won’t be unique enough? This doesn’t just apply to celebs. Parents who try and give their child a “unique” spelling (Soozie etc) are just as guilty.

As for those of you who have been “dying” for this day to come? Get a life.

what an awful name, but it’s their life

Can’t help it, love the name. It flows w/ their life. Someone in this world’s named Zuma and it’s quite acceptable, so I think it’s more a culture shock because we’re more accustomed to traditional European-Christian names. JMHO

Congrats to them!! What a great name, love that they’re sticking with the “beachy” names as in Kingston (Jamaica) and Zuma (CA)! Yay!

Again, but how do you guys know she didnt attempt a VBAC??

I had a 2nd section, but this was after a long and progressive labour – which ended up with a stick baby with a plummeted herat rate in its 30s. Needless to say I had an emcs.

I got a lot of comments asking why I didnt go for a vbac – only 60% (in the UK at least) are successful, how do you know Gwen wasnt one of the 40% that tried and didnt get it?
