Today I read on People.com that Halle Berry and her baby-daddy / super hot boyfriend Gabriel Aubry will give birth to the “world’s sexiest baby”. I could not agree more (though I am going to go with stunning not sexy) – these two will surely produce a magnificent  creature. Halle looks fantastic — natural, feminine and happy! Sending love and of course an open invitation for whatever they might need from us here at Forty Weeks!

Though CBB reported it first, today Page Six shares pictures of Mary Louise Parkerand her newly adopted daughter (from Africa) along with parental praise from Uber Papa Brad Pitt. So to review — MLP is the top of my mama list — natural, open, easy and full of grace. It is an understatement to say I adore this woman! And count her among by BFFs that I’ve never met! Though, I am sure someday our paths will cross…I would love to gift that sweet little girl a new Hushamok toddler swing (Julia Roberts was the only other to make that short list) among other goodies….

It has been a long week, or a never-ending one, or just my life – Las Vegas, Philly, Baltimore, DC and now here I am — working among the Bumbles, Hushamoks and Bravadosin the New York Showroom (and writing run-on sentences). I am thrilled to report that the October InStyleis just about to hit the Newsstands. My recent work(OK, my entire summer) with Dodge as well as Kids Headquarters will finally see the light of day. I am loving the early feedback (we love happy!) and look forward to yours…do drop me a line and let me know!

This  just in from our darling Danielle at CBB….Heidi Klum out and about with her Bumble, Etc. car seat in Lemon Lime Dot. I know Jennie is thrilled…what a September it has been for The Bumble Collection!

The buzz keeps coming! Last week Naomi Watts showed off her Bumble in Buttercup, this week, Sheryl Crowe made her way through the Toronto airport with her Bumble Jessica in Blue Latte! We loved seeing the entire Bumble crew at ABC (we are all just back from Vegas) and loved seeing this continued coverage for our beloved bag (and accessory - check out the BUMBLE, ETC collection) client even more!!

So it goes something like this….September scares me. I am a mighty fierce soul…and still — between back to school (come on ENOUGH with the forms), the looming Jewish Holiday thing (thank you dear friends for agreeing to live with out my Matzo ball soup –actually Lisa Bernstein’s soup, and ya know - we share), and the continuous and amazing stream of projects happening here at forty weeks it is BUSY. So add it, just for kicks one more thing - our annual jaunt to Las Vegas for the ABC show. I leave tonight and will be joined by Teena and Doris on Friday. We have got lots planned….and will connect with many of our friends of FW while there.  All good! It is just that pesky thing about packing and making it to the airport on time while simultaneously finding dress shoes for my kids (the holiday is on Wed) and getting all my peeps good for me to be gone that is making my head spin! And I need a manicure something bad.  So, not complaining. In fact can’t wait for the world to see what Bumble, Bravado and Hushamok have got that’s new and noteworthy. And, looking forward to my time on the floor gathering fodder for the Wall of Shame, In Style sections for 08, and more. It’s all good - watch me juggle my way out west and see you there!

Talk about working! And a good team! And good timing, of course….Check out our beloved client Hushamok with the Hushamok Complete on Urban Baby today! This blockbuster hit (thank you Gina) driving traffic to our exclusive preview retail partner Genius Jones (thank you Doris) comes just days before Teena, Doris and I hit ABC (more on where to find us later) with the full line from Hushamok. How perfect for Hushamok to show up at the big party with this as an intro! Watch this client….they have got the goods for sure and are well positioned to do some pretty ground breaking things in the category. Congrats to Julie and Mark  on bringing this baby to life! And we will tell them to expect to see you in Vegas (If you don’t have an appointment try Gina@fortyweeks.com) and use my name)!

Is it me, or is there WAAAAY to much play on page six re Kelly Klien and her oh so personal choice to have a baby at age fifty? First pass they report it. Second pass they share the word from Bridgehampton where we are reminded of her good fortune - horse jumping and baby making - ohhh lucky. And now, perhaps she is lying? This could not be her egg? Seriously ENOUGH….
