I cannot get enough of sweet, cold watermelon cubes with dollops of (pasteurized) goat cheese and a drizzle of olive oil, sea salt and cracked black pepper! It’s so fast to put together and hits my sweet and savory buttons while being really light and refreshing— perfect for a summer pregnancy! I also have been making a ton of pulled chicken salads. I’ll just use whatever is left from a rotisserie, and toss it together with chopped apples, maybe snap peas or cabbage, tons of fresh herbs (mint, parsley, chives), scallions, and then a simple oil and red wine vinegar dressing.

Let’s talk style. Any new wardrobe staples for dressing the bump this time around?

I bought two long, flowy dresses from Zara that I am living in. They’re so easy to make look polished even though they’re essentially like wearing tailored sheets. I also invested in a couple long tanks and t-shirts from Madewell, ASOS Maternity, and Destination Maternity/Pea in A Pod. I feel like all you really need are cute pregnancy jeans, shorts, or leggings and a top that’s long enough to cover up the elastic part.

She’s been so good about eating this avocado-banana-spinach-yogurt smoothie every morning. She helps me put everything in the blender, which is a fun way to help her start to learn what everything is. She’s still really good about eating her vegetables if I sing her songs and she loves pasta with red sauce, yellow lentils, chicken and a roasted ginger-soy-garlic salmon that I make. She also has this mini kitchen right next to mine where she is always cooking and washing dishes— it’s hysterical!
