If there is one thing that we absolutely love here at Madame Noire, it’s adorable little ones. We’re thrilled to report that Miami Heat player, Chris Bosh and his wife Adrienne Bosh are expecting another child. Adrienne took to her Twitter page yesterday to announce the wonderful news via these adorable photos of their two children holding signs with cute phrases etched onto them such as:

“Guess what?!”

“I’m a big sister again!”

“I’m being promoted to big brother.”

Along with one of the photos, Adrienne posted a message to her Twitter page, confirming the news.

The new baby will actually be the couple’s second child together and Chris’ third child. They already have a one-year-old son, Jackson. Chris also has an adorable little girl named Trinity (pictured above) from a previous relationship. The Bosh family just got through celebrating little Jackson’s first birthday earlier this month.

We’re not really sure how far along Adrienne is in her pregnancy, but we’re assuming she’s still in the early stages, as she doesn’t appear to be showing in recently released photos. We’re very happy for the Bosh family. Fatherhood looks good on Chris and this has got to be one of the most adorable pregnancy announcements we’ve seen in a long time!

For this week’s installment of “Cute Kid Alert,” we’re keeping it short, and strictly baby. Of course, news spread last week that Diana Ross’s daughter, Chudney Ross, gave birth to her first child, Callaway Lane, on September 19. This is her first child, and diva Diana’s second grandbaby. Ross decided to share her little girl with her fans and friends via Facebook, saying, “We are so excited to welcome Callaway Lane to the world! She was born on September 19, 2012 at 6:40pm and weighs 7 lbs 8 oz!” Callaway is her little lady with husband Joshua Faulkner, and the alert baby and her ornate hat is just toooooo adorable!

Also in cute baby news, Kimbella shared more photos of her daughter, Bella Monroe, the little cutie she had with rapper Juelz Santana. She was born in July and is already getting big! Kimbella posted photos of her daughter playing around with her son, Juelz, and the darling baby being held by her uncle. Ca-ute!

And lastly, the Bosh family is using this downtime to spend as much time together as possible. The Miami Heat star snapped photos with his little girl, Trinity, and his son, Jackson. His wife, Adrienne, also shared photos of the ever-growing, always cute Jackson in his Hawaiian-Tropic ‘fit. What a happy baby!

I hope these cutie patooties brightened up your day, because they are absolutely adorable to us!

Talk about cheeks we’d love to pinch! This little beauty is Zaya Monique Campbell, the daughter of Erica Campbell from Mary Mary and her husband Warryn. The three-month-old little one has started rolling with her mom and the rest of her family on the road, so Erica thought it was about time to give you an updated introduction to her precious “Zay Zay.” She’s so cute it’s not even funny!

And in other newborn news, Adrienne Bosh has released more photos of her new bundle of joy with baller Chris Bosh. Little man’s name is Jackson, and he’s already got a thing for fashion like his mom. Check out that trendy scarf! Jackson was born on May 3, and he’s already trying to cheer on his dad in the NBA playoffs (just kidding, I’m sure he just wants to sleep all the time). Get a closer glimpse at the young’n.

And lastly, we thought we would introduce you to Charlize Theron’s new son, Jackson Theron. Little Jackson was born in the U.S., and his adoption was revealed in March. This is one of the first times we’re getting to see the new man in her life, and he’s looking beautiful! The two were seen trying to hightail it out of Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, and Jackson definitely seemed startled by all the flashing lights. Cute, nonetheless.

Much respect to Charlize for going the adoption route. Love it when people open their hearts and homes to children who need it.

What do you think of these newbies? Makes your biological start ticking right? Just kidding! But they’re all very adorable indeed.

Last night, Miami Heat player Chris Bosh hopped on a private plane from NYC to head home to Miami after he found out his wife Adrienne was in labor. This morning, the newlywed couple welcomed a healthy baby into the world and they were both there to see it.

To ease Adrienne’s fears that Chris wouldn’t make it in time, someone must have sent her a pic of her hubby boarding the plane last night, because she tweeted this pic yesterday evening saying:

“Thank God for private flights…Hurry home Baby ”

Chris held up his end of the bargain, having told news outlets he would drop everything at a moment’s notice to be by his wife’s side during the birth.

“I’ve got a beeper, so when it goes off, I’ll be ready,” he said. “It’s an exciting time, I’m trying to compete for a championship and prepare for new life. It is a busy time in the Bosh household.”

Chris was in New York yesterday to prepare for tonight’s game against the Knicks, and according to David Aldridge of NBA.com, he will be back in NYC tonight to go head to head in game three. That’s a dedicated father and team player.

Congrats to the Bosh family!

There are women who use surrogates to have children because they can’t get pregnant by natural means and then there are women like Chris Bosh’s wife, Adrienne, who use surrogates to maintain their figures.

That’s the latest rumor surrounding the Miami Heat player and his wife who announced they were expecting their first child almost two months ago. According to Bossip, the couple will be using a surrogate because Adrienne is worried about becoming fat and ruining the body she works so hard to maintain. But course no one wants to admit anything as superficial as that, so the tiny newlywed, who is supposedly five months pregnant, is expected to go into hiding soon to make sure the media doesn’t create another Beyonce fluctuating baby bump situation.

Now I’d be lying if I said I knew what it was like to have a body so perfect I couldn’t bear the thought of letting a baby destroy what I worked for, but when I say I wouldn’t want to be the mother explaining to my child that I didn’t give birth to him because I didn’t want stretch marks, I’m telling the truth. And trust me, that child will find out, just like gossip sites already have.

I find nothing dishonorable about a woman exercising all of her reproductive options when she can’t conceive the traditional way, and those women are certainly still “real” mothers in my eyes. But there is something so Saks 5th Avenue snobbish about Adrienne’s rumored choice that I can’t hardly stand it. It’s vain, it’s dishonest—it’s a rich, good-looking people problem that, when compared to the millions of women who would die just to be able to give birth to their own child or have a healthy baby at all, just leaves an indescribably nasty taste in my average woman mouth. Her situation reminds me of why people were so upset at the false pregnancy rumors surrounding Beyonce. If you just come out and say, “Hey I’m using a surrogate,” you’ll still get a few side-eyes, but you at least get the respect of being honest. When you put up a charade and pretend to be pregnant when you’re not, it’s dishonest and suggests you’re ashamed of the choice you made yourself.

No one has the right to police anyone else’s womb, but to me this choice calls into question just how much she wants a child. Is it an accessory or is it something she’s willing to work for and invest in as much as her body? Child birth is just the beginning of the wear and tear being a mother takes on you mentally and physically. If you’re not willing to go through that pain, how will you handle all of the issues that come down the line? There’s not a quick fix for everything if you actually plan on being an involved mother and I wonder if Adrienne has grasped that. I’m not hating on her ability to throw out money and take advantage of this option, I just think it speaks volumes about her views of motherhood. Lots of women who marry athletes already get bad raps for being gold diggers and considering the couple just got married in July, this choice kind of screams “lock in child support” as opposed to “I want to build a family,” but maybe that’s just me.

What do you think about using a surrogate mother to protect your figure? Do you respect mothers who do so? Would you ever consider it?
