Brad Pitt Cut The Umbilical Cord!

Brad Pitt Cut The Umbilical Cord!

The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, center, holds the birth certificates of one of Angelina Jolie‘s twins, Knox Leon Jolie-Pitt, as he and Dr. Michel Sussmann, Angie‘s obstetrician, left, pose for the media, at the Lenval Hospital in Nice, southern France on Sunday. Knox was born at 6:27 pm and Vivienne Marcheline came within a minute of that time.

Outside the hospital, Sussmann shared how smoothly the delivery of Knox and Vivienne went:

On Brad and Angie during the labor and delivery: “[They] were talking, they were together. It was an epidural, so [Angelina] was awake and speaking and laughing. They were happy.”

On Brad never leaving Angie’s side: “He was my assistant! [He even cut the babies' umbilical cords!] He was … perfectly calm, totally determined, very pleased to be at the birth of his children, very moved and very emotional.”

On when Angie and the babies will leave the hospital: “I don’t know. She will stay for a few days. You know, in Europe it isn’t like in the United States, where the patients go home after three days. They will stay a bit longer until everything is okay.”

On the delivery in general: “Absolutely no problems. The babies are fine. The babies are with the mother and father and they are fine.”

FYI: Inside is a close-up of the Knox‘s birth certificate…

Congratulations to them on the birth of their healthy babies. I do like the names they chose.

Just one thought, surely the Mayor of Nice has better things to do with his time and taxpayer money then pose for photographs with birth certificates of “celebrity” children.

Heavens!!

This is kinda getting out of hand, no? I understand the mayor is trying to promote his little town but come on! Holding a press conference to show the birth certificate…Jeez!

Went on People Magazine’s Website and they have the front page dedicated to the JPs. I mean with timeline and everything. I’m sorry but that is freaking scary!

Of course idiots with no brain will blame this on the JPs, forgetting all they ever wanted to just have their babies.

I love Brad and Angie, but it is a little crazy with the Doctor and Mayor holding a press conference and discussing details about a patient. But that is France. This could not happen in the States (could it), I mean patient /doctor confidences. I wonder if Brand /Angie had the doctor tell the public to keep the rumors at bay. I just wondered.

The mayor of Nice, FRANCE is just beside himself. So pleased to have the babies born in his city.

I’m glad the babies are healthy, but Brad cutting the umbilical cord is something fathers do EVERY DAY. Same as GIVING BIRTH. I swear, you’d think this was the first time anyone has ever had a friggin baby.

I’m quite sure they left a big fat contribution to France. That may have something to do with all the hoopla over there about the births. Prior to this, no one in France paid them any mind and thought that we Americans were crazy for our obsession of them.

So two people had two babies.
What a sensation!
Now please Joli-Pitts go away.
We had enough.
Hopefully this ridicolous circus is coming to an end now.

Congrats to Brad and Angie. I can’t wait to see the beautiful twins.
