OMG!!
Congrats to themmm! <3 It's about time 
That is going to be one GORGEOUS child
I don't need a life that's normal. That's way too far away. But something next to normal would be okay. Something next to normal is what I'd like to try. Close enough to normal to get by.

I'm a professional. Whenever something goes wrong on stage, I know how to handle it so no one ever remembers. I flash my %#$&.

Congrats to both of them.
And snl89, "it is about time"? What is that supposed to mean? It is none of your business. Comments like that are rude.

I am truly happy for her, she is such a sweet woman, and the fact they waited 13 years is an example for everyone. You gotta wait!
no, actually, it's nobody's business.
When I see the phrase "the ____ estate", I imagine a vast mansion in the country full of monocled men and high-collared women receiving letters about productions across the country and doing spit-takes at whatever they contain.

Posted: 3/31/09 at 4:17pmHaven't they been trying for a good long time? That might be the source of the "it's about time" comments.

Congratulations to them both!
You're reminding me of people you hear at the movies asking questions every ten seconds, "Who is that? Why is that guy walking down the street? Who's that lady coming up to him? Uh-oh, why did that car go by? Why is it so dark in this theater?" - FindingNamo on strummergirl
"If artists were machines, then I'm just a different kind of machine...I'd probably be a toaster. Actually, I'd be a toaster oven because they're more versatile. And I like making grilled cheese" -Regina Spektor
"That's, like, twelve shows! ...Or seven." -Crazy SA Fangirl
"They say that just being relaxed is the most important thing [in acting]. I take that to another level, I think kinda like yawning and...like being partially asleep onstage is also good, but whatever." - Sherie Rene Scott

Congratulations to Idina and Taye!
However, does this mean she won't be returning to the stage for a while?? Like Melissa Errico? I mean, I'm happy for her, but selfishly, this just means more time until she comes back to the stage!

aww I didn't mean it in a rude way, it's just I distinctly remember Idina mentioning "thinking about having kids" in concerts as far back as like 3 1/2, 4 years ago (and I'm not even sure that was the first time she mentioned it)! haha. I'm certainly not judging them for having waited until now. Just saying that I think most of us fans have known that they've been thinking about it for quite a while now, and so it's exciting that it's actually happening!
No harm meant

Posted: 3/31/09 at 4:53pmSO happy for them. I can see them being the cutest parents of the cutest baby.

Posted: 3/31/09 at 5:16pmThis is such wonderful news. I'm so happy for them. It's funny that this was announced today, because just last Friday, my friend and I went to see Idina in concert in Wilmington, Delaware, and Idina was wearing a loose fitting shirt and I turned to my friend and said, "What if she's pregnant?" And then we both thought about it for a moment and were like, "No, she's not." And now this. That baby is going to be one good-looking kid. Congrats to them both - I'm sure they will make wonderful parents.
