The music marketer, 32, took his little boy to Coldwater Canyon, where they played in the sandbox and checked out some construction vehicles parked nearby.

Fit2BMom: Workout Wear that Will Last Past Pregnancy

Keeping active while pregnant is important, but it’s not easy to find comfy workout clothes that accommodate a growing belly. Now all the pregnant ladies can get their exercise on in style thanks to Fit2Bmom‘s stretchy, easy-to-wear separates.

Even celeb mom-to-be Tiffani Thiessen — who has the active kit ($118) — is a fan! She recently tweeted about how much she loves the line’s “amazing” fabric and fit.

We love the company’s new spring collection. The polished Long Sleeve Wrap Top ($79) is cut like a blazer, but feels super soft. The RoundNeck Tee ($49, above) is another favorite. It features a super supportive built-in shelf bra with side-shirring.

Plus, all bottoms (shorts, pants and skirts) come with wide waistbands so you can comfortably wear them under or over your bump.

Bonus: Each piece is made with a Supplex fabric blend that really holds its shape, so you can rock them even after the baby comes.

Shop the full collection here.

Gisele Bündchen Credits Women As a Family's 'Core'

Jim Spellman/WireImage

She may have welcomed her first child only three months ago, but Gisele Bündchen already has a clear picture of the mom she hopes to be.

“I grew up witnessing my mother [Vania] always trying her best at doing all she could for the six of us girls. My mom devoted her entire life to her family and did it with such grace,” she writes on her website in celebration of Mar. 8th’s International Women’s Day.

“She is my hero. She is the reason why I believe a woman is the core of a family … I can only hope to be for my kids what she will and always be for us … Our rock.”

Writing the blog entry from a “very happy and proud” mother’s perspective, Gisele’s priorities have clearly shifted since starting a family with her husband, New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady. “Being committed to building a family, becoming a mother, and raising a child with love and awareness is for me, the single biggest responsibility a woman could have,” she explains.

Determined to spread the word about the wonders of natural childbirth, Gisele opens up about her own “intense and life-changing experience” when she delivered Benjamin — “surrounded by love … safe” at home.

Recalling a sense of extreme vulnerability, yet newfound empowerment, the model, 29, allowed her instincts to take over.

“It was amazing to experience my body become free to do what it was made to do by allowing my mind and my body to let go and be free to experience the changes taking place within,” she shares. “I was just there … so present, to witness the biggest miracle in my life happen before my very own eyes. To give life, what a gift!”

And when the moment came for Gisele to finally hold her baby boy, she was overcome with a sudden rush of emotion.

“When he was placed into my arms, I looked into his precious eyes and felt an overwhelming, unconditional love. I felt a huge sense of accomplishment. ‘We did it! We did it together!’ He and I. I never felt so complete and empowered in my life.”

Joe Don Rooney, Wife Expecting Second Child

Make way for another little rascal: Joe Don Rooney and wife Tiffany Fallon are expecting their second child, he tells PEOPLE exclusively.

“We’re a little more prepared but the same excitement is there,” the Rascal Flatts guitarist says of baby no. 2. The couple are already parents to 21-month-old son Jagger Donovan. “There’s such fulfillment in being a father and it’s going to be two-fold now, which is so cool.”

Tiffany, 35, who is due in September, told Joe Don, 34, that she was pregnant when they were staying in the same Los Angeles hotel where he learned they were expecting Jagger.

“It was late January and we were out by the pool chilling and she said, ‘I have something to show you,’ and she opened her purse and pulled out the stick with the positive sign,” he says.

“I was like, ‘Wow! We’re going to have to stop coming to this hotel. We’ll have 16 of these things before long!’ But life just couldn’t get better.”

The couple are preparing Jagger for the idea of a new sibling, “but he doesn’t quite understand yet,” Joe Don says. “I pray with him every night and we pray for his brother- or sister-to-be.”

Mom and dad are eager to prepare as well, and plan to find out the sex of the baby. “Tiff’s all about decorating rooms, so she’s got to know. She’s got to prepare the nest,” says Joe Don, who is betting on a girl while Tiffany suspects it’s a boy.

The one element that might prove tricky? Making sure Joe Don is present to greet his new son or daughter.

“I’ll be on tour this September and the Rascal Flatts machine is not stopping for anybody,” he says. “But I have to be there. I’ll rent a jet or something if I have to!”
