My Best Friend, Jennifer Lopez Gives Birth!!!


Wow... Yes, it is true!!!! Jennifer and Marc are the proud new parents of a beautiful baby girl and a gorgeous baby boy. (I will let her tell you the names...but they are adorable) I can't tell you how excited JR and I are. This has been something that we have all been waiting for and I know Jennifer has waited for this moment for so long. She and Marc are thrilled and incredibly happy and everyone is healthy. I will pass on your many thoughts and well wishes. We are leaving on Sunday for NYC for the week to get to know our beautiful niece and nephew and to help Jennifer and Marc in anyway. It is amazing to me how excited JR is about these babies. He is such an incredible father. I remember how excited he was when Amber was born. He wanted me to leave the hospital that day... (Or at least Amber go home with him:) Babies bring so much joy into the world. They teach us love and laughter and remind us what it is like to dream again. I know we have learned far more from Amber than she has learned from us. I love seeing myself or JR in her. JR has been bouncing off the walls everyday this month anticipating our new arrivals. In fact, we have scheduled everything around this...or we thought we had, because she wasn't officially due, for a couple more days, so he flew to Aspen for the weekend to ski and now he is HAPPY to turn around and come home early to see these beautiful babies. (I think he will try to get one more ski run in first:) and then we are off..... I wanted to send Jenn something today so I decided to go on our portal to order some flowers (which I did)...the flower club is perfect for that and I got the cutest arrangement. It is called "Just Ducky"... check it out...for $46.95, it looks fantastic and it’s adorable and best of all, you get 20% BV (not IBV). Then I decided to go shopping by searching "baby gifts" and I was pleasantly surprised to see all the great gift ideas marketamerica.com has to offer. There were so many great choices that I couldn't just choose one...Check out this adorable baby doll for infants from our partner, Toys R Us. It’s so cute and its musical which I love as much as the baby does and its only $29.99 and you get 7% IBV...pretty good...and you sure make some little special one happy. Today is such a special day for us...and of course, I am sure that many of you may be experiencing the miracle of life today, either thru your own child, a grandchild or a best friend.

Take time to stop and smell the roses, and the joy of LIFE...
Love, Loren xoxo

    Please tell Jennifer & Mark that many of your partners in MA are thrilled & excited for the additional joy that these two wonderful little souls will bring into their lives. I personally am always so excited and inspired to see others experience love in their lives and you can tell that Jennifer and Mark are happy and now their love has been multiplied a thousand times. Congradulations!

    Loren,

    Thank you for this posting. It is perfect timing for me. My brother and his wife just had their first baby. His name is Logan Lee and was 8 lbs 6.2 oz and 22 inches long. WOW! It makes me hurt just thinking about it.

    Anyway, as a new uncle I have to take advantage of your fashion sense go shopping on my portal. I took your recommendation and went to Toys R Us to shop. I found an adorable plush teddy bear which surprisingly goes great with out new Motives Spring/Summer trend kit.

    It's called the "Dream Plush Teddy Bear with Flower." It has soft pink fur, internal chimes to entertain the baby, and is only $11.99!

    Anyway, I just thought that I would share. I have placed the link at the bottom of this posting for those of you who are interested in taking a look at the item.

    Have a great weekend and give Marc and Jennifer my best wishes!

    Always,

    Congratulations indeed! Children change your world and the world for all of us ---

    And I must say to the person who posted the comments about "an easy birth" -- how rude and ignorant - my hope is you will realize just how much you are and apologize for being so to Jennifer Lopez and her husband.

    We have four kids and we know how special each life is when they come into this world. The first, however, is so magical in a different way. It is also as magical for the people around you that love you and that new life. Congratulations to you Loren and JR, and of course mom and dad. Don't blink, you don't want to miss anything, not to mention graduation is coming soon!!! jennifer twardosky

    Thank you for all your wonderful thoughts... I cant wait to share them with Jenn and Marc. They love all of you and love MA... for the rude person... i have to agree with the person who said they can't be one of us...I mean why say such ugly things...unless you are feeling that way about yourself. I am sorry. However, this is place where we share wonderful information with each other. A place we can share... A place for positive thoughts and great ideas on what we all want to share with each other. I wish you the best as it really appears to me that you need it. thanks to all... much love and appreciation always... Loren.

    Hi Loren,
    Send my congrats to Jen and Marc as well I have four children as well and they are all beautifull and different. What I always say is that you never know how much love you can have for another until you have children because you would do anything for them.

    When are they announcing the names? I can't wait.

    Congrats to the proud parents, anut and uncle, niece(Amber) and to all of us. We are just as proud, because we are all family. My husband woke me up to tell me he saw it online in the news. He was so excited. He works until 3:30 a.m. so he saw it fairly soon there after. I am proud to say that J Lo and Marc are business partners and that she is your best friend Loren. I think everyone needs a best friend like that.

    Obviously the rude, crude idiot has NO FRIENDS.

    Congratulations to Jennifer and Marc. We're so happy for them,babies are so special. It makes it even more special when they have such dear friends as you and Jr, and of course the rest of the Market America family. ( I bet these 2 won't grow up to be spoiled at all) Here's a great ad. tip for you when the babies are being photographed by the press they can wear little outfits that say Market America on them-How awesome would that be.

    Loren,

    Thank you for posting this!

    Please give Jennifer & Mark our Congratulations! I'm a mother to two beautiful little girls, 2.5 and 1 so I understand how amazing it is to become a mom! I truly believe that every woman should be able to experience the miracle of bringing another life into this world! And to be able to bring two children or more at the same time is amazing, kudos to you Jennifer! My heart goes out to those who are unable to conceive.

    Loren,
    I am so happy for Jennifer and Marc, two precious bundles of joy. How wonderful for them. I have always been a fan of Jennifer’s and now to see her as a mommy of twins, it is so exciting. The gifts you picked out were so cute. It is wonderful all the choices we have on our portal.
    I can relate to JR's excitement. My niece just had her baby on 1/18/08 at 8:01. I couldn’t get there fast enough. It was so special to see my Grand Niece.

    Congratulations, again to Jennifer and Marc.

    Dear Loren,
    thank you very much for sharing the good news about Jennifer & Mark's babies. It's nice to hear about JR's excitement around the new arrivals.His passion for people bounced all through the
    America Airlines Arena in Miami and I knew then that I was in the right room at the right time and with the right company.
    Please thank him for me for being who he is and for having been irritating in Miami ... He stirred up the enthusiasm in three of my team members. It was really exciting to see how they begun to see the light.
    Re: Genetix Jeans
    Loren, I can't find them on my Canadian webportal. Maybe I am writing the name wrong. You mentioned Oprah had talked about them.
    Perfered Customer Support didn't seemed have the answers on how to find them yet, when I called them on Friday.
    I am looking forward to ordering them.
    Thanks again to you for being who you are as well and for your dedication to providing us with this opportunity and for sharing your life so genuinely.
    You and JR give my belief in the goodness of humanity back and I believe with a vehicle such as ma.com we can bring the energy of love and compassion and abundance back into full reign all over the world. - It's a privilege to have been in the presence of such great spirits, such as yourself and the entire MA team.
    With deep gratitude.

    What exciting news about Jenn & Marc's new arrivals! I wish them much happiness.

    Loren,
    I was asking my upline where to post some ideas for additional partner stores (I couldn't remember where you said to submit suggestions at Leadership), as I am at the age right now where all of my friends are having babies and I am having to send many gifts out. I have some baby gift sites that I LOVE and always receive compliments on the packaging, and merchandise from these stores. As a distributor I wanted to suggest we get them signed on as partners:
    www.blueberrybabies.com - Love the 3 Marthas selection here
    www.polkadotwhale.com - Complimentary gift wrap and adorable & unique gifts
    www.geniusbabies.com - Love the Mamas & Papas toys
    www.sensationalbeginnings.com - I love to give the "I Am The Boss" toy for first birthdays and the price is better here than at FAO Schwartz.
    www.babystyle.com - Love this store

    Safe travels to you and a big Congrats to Jenn and Marc!

    Many blessings and heartfelt congratulations to Jennifer & Marc. They must be over the moon over their very special deliveries. And a great big Shame, shame, shame on you to Anonymous posted at 10:18 PM. If you were bold enough to make such a statement, you should have been bold enough to post your name. Mama always taught me that if you can't say anything nice about someone or something, you should'nt say anything at all. I'll pray for you not withstanding your tackiness. Just wondering, does the number 2 hold any significance to the new parents? After all, 2 babies, born on 2/22 at 12:12 and 12:23. Best wishes and much amor.

    Many blessings to Jennifer and Marc on the birth of their twins. I had grandsons (twins) and it is very exciting to watch them grow and develop their own personality. Even though I don't know them personally I feel like they are family because they are a part of the Market America family.

    Jennifer and Marc I am glad you both have found happiness and don't listen to any negative words form those who only wish they had what you two have. do your thang baby!

    Congrats

    Loren, I was prospecting a mom of triplet girls yesterday and she asked if we had partnered w/ Web sites that cater to multiples. It's definitely a trend and we'd have a loyal following of parents if we did (and we have such a good reason to w/ the birth of the JLO/MA twins)! Also, if you're in NYC now, I don't know if you saw yesterday's NY Times but there was a cute little piece in the "Dear Diary" section which we can readily relate to. Here's how it reads: Dear Diary,
    Overheard in a TriBeCa elevator on a rainy day:
    First Lady: So, what are you doing today?
    Second Lady: Shopping. What else?
    First Lady: In all this rain?
    Second Lady: It NEVER rains on the Internet. That's why we love it! Dara from Stamford, CT

    Thanks, Loren, for the news about Jen and Marc's twins!! How thrilling for everyone. As someone else mentioned, I too was so inspired by JR's passion and to hear that he is so ga ga over these new arrivals is further proof of what an incredible person he is. I am a new member of MA and this was my first leadership training, but I am honored to have become a part of such a positive, loving, caring, environment. And, Loren, I also work for a women's boutique in Milwaukee called Boutique B'lou, so I especially appreciate your fashion commentary!! Best to everyone. Jane Weske, Germantown, WI

    For everyone that's been waiting, it looks like their names are finally out. According to People magazine, Marc and Jennifer named their son Max and their daughter Emme. Since this was in a gossip magazine and not found here first (And we know that Market America is supposed to be first in everything!!), Loren could you confirm this great news? Thanks and congratulations again to them both.

    HI...I think as a brand new mother in a high profile position,such as Jennifer, should have the first word on announcing her baby names... however it is true, that those beautiful babies are Emme and Max...

    One baby is a blessing, with two they are more than double blessed. We had twins 18 years ago. It was a great surprise and two of the best things that ever happened.
    They are so fortunate to have you and JR there to help. Extra hands are always welcome especially with twins.

    There are lots of great twins resources. One of my favorites was Twins Magazine.

    I generally do not look at the gossip of magazines so when I saw your message about this happy couple, I just could not let it go. Congratulations to Jennifer and to Marc!
    I was never supposed to have children and God blessed my husband, Tony, and myself with a baby girl. We JUST found out her gender today. I just love knowing that people go through trials and tribulations in our lives and we never know when we will be blessed.
    I am having a difficult time purchasing all of the clothes with my changing body Does anyone have any suggestions? What are the must haves?
    Thank you for letting us share in your private moment with your friends.

    How come Jlo and Marc never plug Motives in any of the magazines I read. I don't ever see anyhing about Market America either when they are interviewed.Just wondering. I think it would really boost the company if they would talk about us. I read something the other day that Jlo wears Mac and they had her favorite colors in this magazine.

     

  • At March 8, 2008 4:02 PM , Anonymous Anonymous said...

    Hey that is true. Why don't JLo and Marc don't plug MA into interviews when appropriate? That would be so nice if they did..
    Regardless, CONGRATS to the beautiful couple. So thrilling... My husband and I have not been able to have kids yet but we do have an anniversary of our adopted daughter this month, 3 years on March 22nd! It is also our anniversay of 11 years! God is good. She is from Ukraine and 4 1/2 years old. Now we are going to start another going to Peru. ANy help on the Spanish, JLo or Amber? Would you like to travel with us when we go?
    Also, anyone have any organizations that help with adoptions? We would like to apply for the grant. We are looking for tax duductable donations... We know it will come one way or another.. Just getting to it and trusting God for the funds.. Her name will be "Chaya Sue". Hebrew meaning abundant life.

    A belated congrats to Marc and Jennifer. I am a mother of twins myself. Our little girls, Natalie and Abigail will be one year old May 15. They were born at 26.1 weeks and spent 4.5 months in the NICU so celebrating their first year is such a miracle.

    I was wondering if there was a way to send gifts to Marc and Jennifer. My sister is an MSW and a professional sleep trainer that specializes in multiples. She would love to donate a week's worth of sleep training to the new parents. If you know how to help us get the information to Jen and Marc, or have them contact her, she'd be thrilled.

    Hopefully, now at about 3 months, Emme and Max are settling in to a routine and Marc and Jennifer are getting some sleep! Blessings to them all.
