Very big news! The world is changing

CONGRATS and Welcome! James Olivia Fehr

I knew they were having a baby. Congrats Jen and Brendan!

to Brendan and Jen
The photos on your site show a real cutie pie
Being a parent is a joy and blessing that you will love

She is too cute! I love the third picture, "What the hell!?!? Fehrians?!?"

[S]he's adorable!

Congrats Brendan & Jen

OK I'll ask I already look pretty stupid as mod for not even having a clue about the pregnancy so, is this beautiful baby a boy or a girl?

Plus, BIG baby. to Jen, bless your heart darling. Michael was only 8 1/2 pounds and THAT wasn't any fun.

Bwa ha ha!! MGE, that's hilarious, and exactly what she's thinking! I'm sure Dad will explain we're harmless when she (I think? ) gets older.


OMG, Sweet Baby James is so adorable! *smishes the Fehr Family* And what a lot of hair for a new baby!


I put my congrats in the message thread, but and here, too, to all!


Vin, I don't think anyone fannish had a clue and I'm sure that's just how Brendan wanted it. Very nice of him to announce after the birth and post pics of such an important family event.

I have to admit that I was surprised that he was able to keep it a secret. I was biting my tongue to keep from saying anything.

Such wonderful news... on your precious baby girl, Brendan & Jen... James is absolutely adorable!

Congratulations Brendan and Jen! Such a wonderful news

Oh my goodness, Congratulations Brendan and Jennifer!!

Congratulations to you both



Well, I knew... Won't say how I knew, but I knew And I managed to keep quiet!

But I'm glad you asked the question, Vin because I'm feeling pretty dumb. James is a boys name, and Olivia is a girls name so... is the baby a boy or a girl?

Congratulations Brendan and Jen - now your life really changes



What great news

What an adorable baby! Your child is absolutely precious! Congratulations to Brendan and Jen!!!

Your lives will never be the same again and I mean that in a very good way!

James is a beautiful baby girl. I don't know the story behind the picking of the name, but I do know that Brendan and Jen purposely didn't want to know the sex of the baby until it arrived. They were even having a betting pool as to what it would be and most thought it was going to be a boy!

Congrats to Brendan and Jennifer!

Yeah, I figured she was most likely a girl. 9 pounds [almost]8 oz is a very big baby. Poor Jen. Bless her heart.

Congratulations Brendan and Jen! Wishing many years of joy with your beautiful child.

hmmm.... all that hair, bet Jen had heartburn. LOL

Congrats to Brendan and Jen! I am sure they will be great parents!

Dear Brendan,
They are several months I have been thinking to register in this forum....Well this is the right occasion...!
I think that to become father is a splendid happines for this reason I hope you and your family the best.

The photos are very sweet...

I knew she was pregnant just from that picture of them with the Stanley Cup.

I must admit, James Olivia is a wonderful name and to the betting pool. Dangit Brendan, you should let us Fehrians in on the pool. P.S. Where are you registered?

Welcome Nervi you're right it is a good time for a first post

Congratulations Brendan and Jenn to your new addition!!

All that hair! I love the pictures now that I have had the chance to go peek at them, I think your baby is adorable! I think the second picture is my favorite.

Take lots of pictures, they grow before you know it.

CONGRATULATION Brendan and Jen

i wonder if the baby is named after James Hetfield from metallica

I see that Spiderman is a night owl.

Congratulations, Brendan & Jennifer! I think it's wonderful that you kept your impending parenthood private, but shared the happy news with your fans so soon after her birth.

Congrats Brendan!
She is adorable, and besides it’s statistically proved that girls named Olivia tend to grow into beautiful, smart, and exceptional adults.

Wishing you and your family all the best,
Olivia

And she has already made it to the internet

Brendan Fehr is a new father; Introducing James Olivia Fehr.

Already posted my congrats on the messages thread, but just wanted to say that the pics are amazing. James Olivia is a really cheeky looking pretty baby and yes they do say that mum's who take indegestion remeidies have the badies with most hair I hope Jen recovers quickly and gets lots and lots of rest - Brendan (and all Dad's) take note What will happen when Brendan goes off to film Samurai Girl

roswellfan76, I think you might be right! Didn't even think of that, be funny if true, hee!


Nice mention on the celeb baby blog (thanks, Lyric!), that of an uncertain looking baby James always reminds of Mrs. George Eads caption for that, "WTH, Fehrians??!" It so fits.

Brendan should get a picture of her behind a leggo fort, wearing a bandana with a sign saying "FEHRIANS! STAY OUT! I PROTECTZ MAH DADDY!"

awwww she's adorable!

Congrats to Brendan and Jen!

My look at all that hair. Congratulations Brendan and Jen. Welcome baby James Olivia.

That is hilarious!!

Congrads Brendan & Jen, James is so cute I think she looks like her Daddy with the hair colouring & mouth,She has her Mom's nose & hair, What a blessing. God has been so good to the both of you!! I'm so happy for the both of you.

The name "James" means "I love" in French. In France, the name James is for a girl and a boy and in French it can be pronounced as "shaim" or SHhh-aim There was a lady on Nip/Tuck whos name was James and she too said when asked about her name said it meant "I love" .


Huge congrats on the sweetie pie. I am very happy for you and your wife.

Welcome sweet James Olivia! You have a wonderful Mum and Dad and are welcomed into this world with much love and joy. May your days be filled with childhood wonders and happy adventures. May you always have health, love, joy and many friends and family surrounding you and loving you at all times.

Brendan & Jennifer, I can only imagine your feelings at this special time in your life. You and your child will become a triad of faith, strength and encouragement. You are in for a dazzling and magical adventure. Keep faith with yourselves & the Lord during any trying times what may pop- after all parenting isn't all lolly pops and sunshine There will be times when you are completely flummoxed and bewildered - that is when faith and Grandmas come in --believe me Grandmothers are a wonderful source of encouragement and knowledge. After all, they raised two delightful children who are now going down that very same road.

Another suggestion from this white headed dragon, learn that saying "NO" isn't bad; it maybe unpopular at times, but not bad ---besides it is now your job to do so when necessary. so learn the word and use it judiciously.

It is also very helpful to recall what its like to be a child full of wonder and testing and a quest to learn. Our children are very trusting of their parents, please learn to honor that trust.

One other thing that I learned about being a parent wa --talk with your daughter. So often we parents fall into the trap of talking to our kids, telling them what to do, when to do it; but forgetting that these young, new minds have ideas of their own to share. They have a fantastic view of the world and can offer you a fresh and unadulterated view. Talk to James Olivia early and often about "stuff." All kinds of stuff and invite and encourage her input and ideas in discussions. It really pays off in the long run. To my amazement Darling Daughter is now a boon companion and we discuss everything under the sun, but it all started in her childhood where she was encouraged that her ideas had merit.

Well, old Mother Dragon is getting off her soap box now. I'm simply tickled pink for both...no all three of you.

congratulations Brendan and Jennifer What exciting news. James Olivia is really an absolutely cute baby. And I'm feeling with Jennifer, my little boy Leo who was born last august was almost the same weight and height

enjoy your days as a new family and all the best to the little girl

Baby James was mentioned again.

She's already getting publicity!

Oh, what a fantastic surprise! Many, many congratulations to Brendan & Jen!

James looks so adorable!

My daughters had the same lovely mop of hair at birth (and no, I didn't take any stomach remedies!). Everyone said it would fall out, but it never did, it just grew longer and turned blonde. I wonder if James's will do the same?

I wonder if the 'named after James Hetfield' theory is true, and whether Brendam was determined to name her James whatever the sex? Just as well Brendan's favourite band isn't Guns 'n' Roses, 'Axl Fehr' might've been a bit much.....

On the other hand, 'Jamie' has been a name for both boys and girls for some time now, so I guess it's not that unusual anyway.

I know I am a bit late on this, but I am new to the site, so I just wanted to say Congratulations! I hope all is well.

Just found this oops! Guess someone didn't put too much effort into this tidbit. US Weekly

Guess that's 'baby's first press incident' though someone really didn't give it much thought which is kind of sad in a way, I mean really, google at this point would tell you James is a girl unless it went to print when it was still being figured out based on her name, in which case .

"Son" eh? in a supposedly professional publication, it annoys me to no end as a pro proofreader/editor, when I see stuff like that when it's so easily checked out!


And, Jen as a "prettier Reese Witherspoon" (in the comments)--well, at least they said 'prettier!' She does look like Reese, actually. They're both pretty!

I expect it's gonna happen a lot. I have no faith in the press. I remember watching the rumors about who Joss Whedon was casting as Wonder Woman would spread, supposedly reputable places would pick it up as fact with NO background check.

Congrtulations to you both of the birth of your baby.
