Mommy-To-Be

“So I’ve had a very very good pregnancy,” the 32-year-old told Elite Daily. “I haven’t had any morning sickness and most of the times I forget I’m pregnant, but the funniest thing is one of my favorite cheat days, ’cause I used to on my diet allow every Saturday and Sunday I’d have a cheat day — not a cheat day, a cheat meal, so not the entire day… I’d have like pizza, or ice cream or french fries or something. And my cousin told me, I’ll never forget, she was like, ‘Wait til you eat pizza pregnant, you’re going to love it.’ And I haven’t!”
