What a month for celebrity baby bump watchers! In the past week or so, over a dozen Hollywood stars have announced their pending journey into parenthood. It seems like every time I pull up a celebrity gossip site or glance at a gossip magazine there is a new starlet aglow with her pending bundle of joy. With new announcements coming fast and furious, today seems like the perfect day to recap who’s expecting a new baby in the new year.

One of the things I’ve found most striking about this latest round of new parents-to-be is how many of them seem to be names from my adolescence. Victoria Beckham, of Spice Girls fame – also known as my favorite band in 7^th grade. Jewel, singer of Who Will Save Your Soul and the album Pieces of Me – quite possibly my favorite CD in middle school. Tia Mowry, co-star of Sister, Sister – one of my must-watch shows during the mid-90s. Alicia Silverstone, star of Clueless – the first ‘teen’ movie I can remember watching. Selma Blair, co-star of Cruel Intentions – a movie my friends and I adored.

I’m not sure what it means, that all of these stars from my childhood are having children of their own. It’s actually pretty neat to see so many of them in the headlines again. I hope their pregnancies treat them well and we see another rash of stories this summer announcing the arrival of healthy new babies. They will be joined by new offspring from Kate Hudson, Natalie Portman, Owen Wilson, Jennie Finch, Devon Aoki, Jane Krakowski, Kevin James and Marion Cotillard. I hope the hospitals in Hollywood are ready!

If you’re experiencing a similar baby boom in your personal life, and you’re anything like me, I’m guessing you might be in the market for a cute pair of baby shoes! Whether you’re looking for the perfect gift or shopping for your own newest addition, I’ve got some adorable recommendations! First up is the Keen Zuma Sandal. I love the girly colors and am a sucker for baby shoes that closely resemble their adult counterparts. The adidas Tigger Liladi 100 Acre Crib Shoe is another adorable choice, and it even comes with a matching bib! Last up is an offering the ROBeeZ Fire Engine Crib Shoe – perfect for all those little heroes in the making.
