" We have a babysitter, and no matter what we go out once a week. We have a dinner date, just the two of us, where we wear nice clothes, drink wine and talk about non-baby-related things. "

It does feel weird to see Clay Aiken's name there. But I'm happy for all of them.

I believe Bo Bice is expecting his second child this summer as well.

That's wonderful, I'm so excited for her and her husband.

Some people have been commenting on "kids having kids" and "what is the right age?" I don't think that there is a "set age", but i do think that it's important for a person to be ready physically, financially, and emotionally to be a mother. I know some people will say "but how can you know when you're ready?" and I guess it's up to the individual. I think the main issue is the fact that a lot of these young mothers today weren't planning on becoming pregnant at such a young age. It's old news now, but take a look at Jamie Lynn Spears. Pregnant at 16? Absolutely NOBODY is ready at that age for motherhood!!!

When I read that Paris was expecting, I was happy that her mother was excited, but at the same time, it concerned me because she is really young. Now yes at 23, Carmen is young as well, but you also have to weigh in the fact that she is married and will have that solid support. Not that single mothers can't do a good job, they do it every day, but getting married first considerably makes things easier. Anyway, I'm rambling and all I really want to say congrats Carmen!!! :D
