Last week we flew to NYC to attend our Rihanna’s 30th Birthday. Rihanna looked gorgeous – as she always does. Loc and I had such a wonderful time. I wish I could show you some photos from the event because it was so beautifully done but the event was a camera free zone.

I’ve gained quite a bit of weight from the pregnancy and I wanted to look elegant without showing my arms and my curves. I’m wearing a vintage 1920’s duchess satin opera coat which is perfect over any dress.

If you have a black tie event to attend during your pregnancy, try to stick with something with a clean silhouette. I always like dresses that are cut on the bias because they are flattering around the belly and behind. A loose maxi dress is another great option. I also find myself sticking with 3/4 sleeve or long sleeve tops but I try to stay away from baby doll dresses and low cut styles during pregnancy.

We have some amazing news to share! I couldn’t hold it back any longer as we are all bubbling over with excitement: we are expecting baby #2!

Sage is especially looking forward to having a sibling. She has been reading to the bump and even giving it kisses! She shared the news with everyone in her class and even brought the sonogram to school one day without me knowing. I love her personality and I can’t wait to see what she teaches her sibling. We’ve always wanted a baby in a Dog Year and February 16 is the first day of the Year of the Dog.

The pregnancy has been such a blessing. So far I feel amazing and very energetic. I’ve been eating normally, working out 4-5 a weeks at home or doing lagree at One Lagree. I don’t have any cravings but I do eat a lot which is why I gained almost 14 lbs and I’m at 19 weeks. We will find out the baby’s gender next week and I can’t wait to share!

Thanks for reading and stay tuned!
