Ah, the French. They sure do love their booze and tobacco sticks.

Which is why it's killing French First Lady Carla Bruni that she can't touch either of those things until she gives birth.

Nicolas Sarkozy's wife recently spoke about how she feels about pregnancy:

"Frankly, I cannot stand it. I have to stay sitting or lying most of the time, cannot smoke or drink wine. I cannot wait for it to end."

Her due date is Oct. 1 so she only has about a week or so until that damn bebeh comes out of her!

Let's just hope she doesn't smoke around the little one.

The French First Lady is already 8 months pregnant!

Paying a visit to the gardens of the Elysee Palace in Paris during France's Day of Patrimony, the wife of French President Nicolas Sarkozy caught the attention of a young girl who couldn't take her eyes off of Carla Bruni's burgeoning belly bump!

She certainly makes maternity wear look fashionable!

Due in October, this will be the first child born to a serving president during the entire history of the Fifth Republic. Carla, who also has an 11-year-old son Aurelian, has promised to keep her children away from the spotlight. She recently said:

"You don't have a child to play to the gallery and my position as the wife of the head of state has made me even more defensive. I understand the media interest and I don’t see any inconvenience in it for me or my husband, but when it concerns the children it is impossible."

We don't blame you one bit! Protect your cubs, Momma Bear!

And keep looking as gorgeous as you always do!

President Barack Obama announced yesterday that he feels the U.S. has "largely achieved its goals in Afghanistan," and he'll be expediting the process of pulling out troops from the country.

After much speculation that France's First Lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy was pregnant, the news has finally been confirmed.

But it wasn’t Bruni or her hubby President Nicolas Sarkozy who revealed the news, it was his father!

The excited grandad told a German newspaper that Bruni is preggers, adding:

"Neither wants to know the gender beforehand, but I'm certain it will be a girl, and beautiful like Carla."

The wife of ex-French President Jacques Chirac spoke to the press today to congratulate the happy couple, saying:

"It's wonderful news to see this baby coming. It's a chance for France, absolutely. And a birth, it's a wonderful event for a family, the arrival of a child. There is nothing nicer. A baby at the Elysee (presidential palace), yes. It's wonderful for them and for all the French people.”

Congrats, Carla!

Well this certainly won't end those pregnancy rumors!

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy bump watch heated up on Friday when she was seen greeting the President of South Korea and his wife in Paris wearing a baggy top and loose-fitting pants.

The French First lady and former model is known for wearing clothes that compliment her thin figure, which is why it has so many people talking.

Who knows, maybe it was casual Friday at the Elysee Palace.

Oh, wow! Lovely news! A first kid is on the way!

First Lady of France Carla Bruni is reportedly expecting her first child with husband, President Nicolas Sarkozy!

Although there have been multiple false pregnancy reports regarding the couple over the course of the past three years in the French press, journalists this time are sticking by this one's authenticity, and Le Figaro's Laurence Pieau explains:

'We would not have revealed this information without being completely certain about it. This is a risky pregnancy bearing in mind that she is 43.'

Well, here's hoping!

We wish them a healthy, happy pregnancy, and the best of luck in the coming months!

Such exciting, wonderful news!

Congratulations, guys!
