Is it just me or is our Ashlee Simpson looking like she’s ready to pop this baby already? Here she is leaving Kamasaku restaurant last night, and while she looks adorable with her little baby bump, she sure does look tired too.

Apparently Ashlee Simpson really wants to lose her baby weight fast after her October 31st delivery.

One source claimed that she broke into tears when she realized how much baby weight she had gained at the doctor’s office. It was over the edge of what “normal” weight gain is and she freaked out when she realized how big she was getting.

Not only that, but after the doctor’s appointment she rushed out to buy “six pairs of size zero jeans to motivate her to lose weight.”

Yikes. Well, I’m not sure how much I really believe this one, but I’ve heard it a couple times now from different people. I think she probably is concerned about her weight a bit and then those pregnancy hormones don’t help either. The thing that strikes me here is that she always seems so balanced in the way she approaches things, so I wonder if she’s just focusing on this a little too much?

Besides that, I think she looks great. I’ve never seen a more adorable pregnant lady!

There’s a very cute interview with Ashlee Simpson over at The Western Star.com. They caught up with Ashlee while she was at Zeller’s promoting the Request clothing line.

Among the things she talked about was knitting. Apparently Ashlee is a knitter! She hasn’t made anything for her baby yet, however. She says, “”I really like to do it (knitting) but I always kind of have a hole in it.”

She also touched on whether her and Pete Wentz plan to move out of their home and live in New York or Chicago when the baby comes. “We haven’t decided where we’re going to raise our kid but for the first year we’ll stay in California.”

At least we’ll get to see Ashlee around for a while yet. Check out the rest of her interview here.

Is Ashlee Simpson afraid of childbirth? I’d actually heard a couple stories that she was, but now another site is speculating that not only is she afraid of giving birth, she’s going to have a C-section so she won’t have to go though natural childbirth.

Keep in mind that these folks are speculating about this. I mean, Ashlee probably does have fears about childbirth, cuz hey, first time mommies generally do. That’s pretty normal. It’s not “fear” so much as it’s probably wondering how much it will hurt and whatnot. But I’m not sure just because she’s supposedly scheduling a C-section that that’s going to help her fear at all. A C-section is an operation, which is scarey enough all by itself.

Besides that, women schedule their babies all the time. A friend of mine found out her daughter had the possibility of being born near Valentine’s Day, and decided to name her middle name “Valentine,” and then insisted that she have a C-section scheduled for (you guessed it) February 14th. And this woman isn’t even a celeb! haha So I think this C-section thing is something that is just done, and not some kind of preferred treatment since Ashlee is a celebrity.

What do you guys think?

P.S. Thanks to our loyal reader MK for sending me the link on this one!

Does anyone else besides me think it’s weird for Pete Wentz and John Mayer to hang out and talk about babies and fatherhood? First Ashlee Simpson and her hubby Pete Wentz want to have John Mayer as godfather to their baby, and now rumors say Pete is prodding John to have some kids with new girlfriend Jennifer Aniston.

I can’t help but wonder how Jessica Simpson feels about the situation. Even if you’re totally over your ex, if a friend or family member was buddying up to them, wouldn’t it feel like they weren’t on your side? It’s not that I think Jessica doesn’t want John to be happy, it’s that I think it’s kind of heartless of Pete Wentz to be so buddy-buddy with John.

What do you think?

Congratulations to Anthony H., who was the winner of the book Darn Good Advice Baby. Anthony said he thought Ashlee was having a boy.

And guess what? Most of you agreed. The majority of people that voted thought that Ashlee was having a boy. Whereas a few folks thought she might be having a girl. Time will tell!

Thanks to everyone who commented. We’ll have another giveaway very soon!

A recent tidbit from FoxNews questioned how far along Ashlee Simpson really is in her pregnancy. A reporter said she was “Fresh-faced and glowing, a makeup-free Simpson wore a long, flowing, boho dress, but that still didn’t hide her very remarkable baby bump.”

Well, gee…. some ladies just gain the weight a little faster than others. That’s all. (We think.) Of course given the nature of things we’ve heard about the baby, no baby, marriage, no wedding, honeymoon in basement, etc., etc., we’ll all just have to wait and see I guess.

Not that Ashlee Simpson needs some darn good baby advice, but in honor of her pregnancy, why not have another giveaway?

I have a copy of a great little book entitled (coincidentally) Darn Good Advice Baby. It’s written by Jan Faull, M. Ed., who (according to the book) “has taught education for more than 25 years and pulls no punches when it comes to the subject of babies.”

Some of the highlights of the book include “what games to play to stimulate your baby, the pros and cons of co-sleeping, how to introduce your baby to solid foods, why your baby is determined to explore and discover, and how Dad can be an active and supportive partner.”

Sounds like a great book! Want to win it? Well I was thinking recently of all the hoopla surrounding Ashlee and whether she is she having a boy or a girl, and wondered what you think. (Of course with Pete Wentz we really never know what to believe.)

If you’d like to win, leave a comment below with your guess on whether Ashlee is having a boy or a girl (or both, as some rumors are also saying.) Last day to win is Wednesday, July 30. I’ll announce the winner the next day. Good luck!

Take this with some big ole Texas-sized grains of salt, folks, but a couple sources around the Internet (like this one) are claiming that Jessica Simpson might be pregnant.

I don’t believe this for a second, but hey - I aim to please those that want to know.

The source says, “Nick Lachey’s ex-wife appeared to have larger breasts and arms than usual with a slight bump on her tummy, which she was trying to hide with a grey jumper.”

More like, Jess ate a big meal and her belly stuck out a little.

Honestly, people, one unflattering outfit and we’re ready to declare her with child?
