Baby, one more time: Say what you want about one-time pop princess Britney Spears, but I have to hand it to her.
Sure, I don't approve of her embarrassingly trashy husband or the train wreck that was her 2005 TV series "Britney and Kevin: Chaotic." But anyone who has two children in one year deserves a whole lot of credit.
Spears, 24, gave birth to a second son, reportedly named Sutton Pierce Federline, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles on Sept. 12 -- two days before her oldest son Sean Preston's birthday.
Even if you have a nanny, personal trainer and army of assistants to care for your child after he or she is born, pregnancy and childbirth are no walk in the park. Having two children in one year is a super-human feat (this includes you, mothers of multiples), and I have nothing but respect and awe for anyone who can manage it.
And, if the baby's name really is Sutton Pierce, Britney is proving that being a mom of two under 2 has made her extremely pragmatic.
With the boys sharing the same initials, the monogrammed designer baby jeans and booties will make wonderful hand-me-downs.
