Now this is definitely a good thing!
Martha Stewart's first grandchild, Jude, made her online debut over the weekend.
Radio host Alexis Stewart, 45, shared a photo of her brand-new baby girl, born via surrogate March 7, on her blog WhateverRadio.com.

Alexis, 45, spent years struggling to conceive before turning to surrogacy. In 2007, she went on The Oprah Winfrey Show and revealed that she was spending $20,000 a month on fertility treatments. "Having my own kid is the most important thing in my life," she said at the time. "I'm trying everything I can."

Now that the baby is finally here, Martha, 69, is already spoiling Jude. Shortly after her 1:00 am delivery, she showed up with a huge box from NYC's tony Bergdorf Goodman department store filled with embroidered baby clothes.
"I'm like 'Wow, I guess I'm going to be allowed to buy myself something pretty nice because all this stuff is going back!'" Alexis said on her radio show Whatever with Alexis & Jennifer.

"If the kid can't see it, why the $100 [outfits]? Only books, child appropriate or whatever: that's the only thing that I want. No toys please!"

11There is nothing better then being a Grandma :))) Happy for Martha!
Alexis is a nice person, her mom is a nice person and the baby is a beautiful baby born into this world. Be kind to them, they are people...like you and me.
WE have a magazine that just might interest you, it's "The Conscious Parent" by Dr. Shefali Tsabary, A very different way to look at Parenting.you can visit her on Face Book , She has a very active site
time and patience has really worked.
I'm sure she was joking about the clothes. She's on the radio. It's a funny, sarcastic show. Gees people, buy yourselves a sense of humor!
Congratulations Alexis. No matter how this child was born it is still her child.Martha should be soo proud.I know from reading over the years Alexis has wanted a child for years already. Lets just congratulate the happy family instead of nitpicking every motive.
I hate when people immediately put down someone who has finally conceived after years of trying - or has been trying for years to conceive - and calling them "excessive" or "wasteful" for not adopting instead. Adopting is a wonderful thing but it's not for everyone. Not every woman can be an adoptive mother just because there are babies in the world who need parents. It takes a very special kind of person to be able to adopt a child that's not biologically theirs and raise it as their own. Just because many women are not wired that way and because they want a piece of themselves and their partner in their child, it doesn't make them selfish. It's so disrespectful to pass judgement on someone going through so much pain. But then again, who really cares about respect in this world anymore?
The importance of a grandmother in a childs life is lost if the above statement is correct. As a Gram, I appreciate that the parents of my grandchildren allow me all of the indulgences I bestow on my grandchildren, including time!
Wow, god-awful name (Jude-yuck), and Nazi mom...such a lucky baby!
Alexis sounds like a very rude person. Take back what your mother has bought for her grandchild? No respect! This kid isn;t gonna have toys?? Books, Ok I can see, but that is the only thing? Hope she thinks more of this child then she does of her mother! Hope that self centered additude turns around for the sake of that baby!
Seems rather excessive considering how many needy children are waiting to be adopted. But, to each her own.
