BumpWatch: Courtney Mazza – Radiant in Red

Cute bump,she looks really good in Red!!!

She looks great! Mario looks like his mommy dressed him.

j, what do you mean by what’s the problem? He was at the Chicago Healthy Living Challenge (according to the article).

I can’t believe how much she popped. She looks so cute. The are going to have one cute baby. I heard he was great at the event. Wish I could have been there. A great event to get moving and exercise. I wouldn’t have mind looking at Mario Lopez, getting everyone moving!!

Heather, geez!!

First of all, I think he’s being light-hearted in his words. He’s not literally STUFFING food down her throat.

Second of all, if she’s active, eating a lot will not necessarily cause her to get fat.

Third, the weight of a baby is actually directly related to the caloric intake of mom during pregnancy, with lots of variation from woman-to-woman, of course. (Though I don’t think he was being 100% serious anyhow.)

The point is, calm down and don’t be so literal!! I think it’s hilarious that so many readers take these celeb quotes out of context and put so much weight into it all.

Absolutely stunning!! And glad to see that Courtney has finally decided to ease up on the tanning…(I was actually a little bit worried about that for a bit) its a MAJOR no no while pregnant).

J, they’re at the Chicago Healthy Living Challenge. I just meant he’s so ‘pretty’ in his full velour track suit. He is just funny to me, not so much the guy he claims to be in interviews.

Does anyone else think she looks like Constance Marie?

c – Based on women I know (both in real life and on baby boards) the caloric intake of the mother has very little to do with the newborn’s weight unless the mother has developed gestational diabetes.
I’ve known healthy (no GD) women who gain the typical 25 pounds and end up with babies on the verge of 10lbs. Then there are some healthy women (no GD) who gain 80lbs and end up giving birth to 7 pounders.
I’m overweight, gained ~25 pounds with both pregnancies, and gave birth to 7.7 and 7.11 pound babies.

c- I agree! And also, think about it this way: What and how much we eat obviously affects how much we weigh. So it stands to reason that the same would be true of how much nutrition a baby gets in the womb! :)
