All hands on deck!

Ali Landry cradles her bump — with some help from pal and event host Holly Robinson Peete — while posing for a photo during Michaels Family Craft Night and The Knack launch luncheon at Fig & Olive in West Hollywood, Calif. on Thursday.

Expecting her second child in October, Landry, 38, has plenty of time to prepare these days as Estela Ines, 4, is “living it up” on vacation in Louisiana.

“I have to say, ‘I’m going to come and get you if you don’t talk to me on the phone!’” the model told PEOPLE of her daughter with husband Alejandro Monteverde.

Good things come to those who wait — except in Tia Mowry‘s case!

When son Cree Taylor arrived on June 28, five days earlier than his expected due date, the actress was thrilled to finally see an end to her pregnancy.

“I was told to be prepared for him to come before or after my due date,” Mowry, 33, tells BET.com. “I was excited to get this baby out of me.”

And although she was prepared for the possibility of welcoming baby early, Mowry admits she didn’t anticipate the sudden wave of feelings after meeting her son.

Spotted: Miranda Kerr and Flynn’s Sunny Stroll

Splash News Online

Continuing to flaunt her post-baby body, Miranda Kerr, 28, takes her fab figure to the streets of Sydney, Australia, Thursday for a stroll with son Flynn Christopher.

Although there to walk the runway as ambassador at the David Jones fashion launch, the model mama’s main focus hasn’t been shedding the pregnancy pounds since delivering her 7-month-old son with Orlando Bloom.

“I thought to myself, ‘I have so much more that I want to do aside from modeling,’” she said.

“I can live with my body not being in shape if I have a healthy son. It’s worth it.”

To that end, Kaufman recommends taking time for impromptu visits to roadside attractions or local events along the way, and making stops whenever necessary.

“It is not realistic to go from point A to point B without stopping,” she says.
