Elisabeth Hasselbeck's Baby Blog

Posted on November 12, 2007

Now that Elisabeth Hasselbeck's new baby Taylor Thomas Hasselbeck is here (congrats Elisabeth!) will she keep blogging? She kept fans up-to-date with a few posts before her baby was born on her blog called Elisabeth's Baby Blog. The blog lives on Dreft.com, which is a Procter & Gamble website. Here's an excerpt from her most recent post.

Still no sign of baby #2 yet! I am having some contractions at night that make me think it may happen soon! I have been having a hard time getting out of bed� especially because I get up at least 4 times, either for the bathroom, or for Grace�

One would assume that any baby blogging deal she cut with Procter & Gamble would have her continue blogging once the baby arrived. According to E Online she will be back. E Online also wonders if she is blogging out of a desire to compete with Rosie O'Donnell.

Perhaps driven to compete with former View cohost Rosie O'Donnell (long famed for her haiku-riffic stream-of-consciousness bloggery), Elisabeth promises "12 personal stories recounting her experiences and emotions both before and after the birth of her second child, due later this month, along with photos of the new baby."

If the blog was on Elisabeth's personal website or on a blogging service like Blogger than maybe we could buy E Online's suggestion that she is trying to compete with Rosie but since the blog is on the Dreft detergent website it is much more likely that it was a financial deal. We would love to know how much The View co-star was paid for baby blogging but that information is not readily available.
