Kim Kardashian didn’t let a quick trip to Paris — her last according to her recent Twitter post – interfere with her nesting mode.

In between business meetings and sightseeing, the reality star (who is due in July) and mom Kris Jenner made sure to make time for a little shopping in the city’s St. Germain district on Tuesday.

Luckily, they stumbled upon Ovale, a high-end baby boutique, where they picked up clothing and eyed the shop’s selection of mini silver jewelry and cuddly toys, including a handmade plush teddy bear.

The trendy mom-to-be gave no hints as to whether she’s carrying a boy or girl says a bystander. Either way, Ovale is known for its “don’t ask policy” and its luxe, gender-neutral goods (think beige, ivory, etc.) that are perfect for any sex.

After a rough start ridden with morning sickness, Jamie-Lynn Sigler is full swing in the sweetest phases of her first pregnancy.

“[At] 12 weeks it’s like something happens — something clicks — and you’re back. I’m in the honeymoon stage of my pregnancy,” the actress told PEOPLE while visiting Drugstore.com at New York Family‘s New York Baby Show Saturday.

“I’m six and a half months now so I’m mobile. I can still move around. I can still put on heels if I need to — but I know summer’s coming.”

And for when those long days of summer officially strike, Sigler’s schedule will include time spent “floating in a pool somewhere” trying to beat the heat and keeping cool in her recently renovated home.

Mom Said It

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."

- Jamie Lynn Spears, on Jamie Lynn Spears: I'm Afraid of Not Being a Good Mom
