Sunning and chilling

Jessica Alba makes me jealous when she goes on vacation! It must be nice to jump across the border for some r & r with the family, and pregnant Jessica, due this summer, looks like she's having a great time away from Los Angeles.

Alba had showed off a baby shower on Twitter earlier this year, so it looks like she claimed time for vacationing with her family before she got incredibly busy with a newborn. At least her pregnancy is easier this time around!

"It's just simply not as daunting of a process. Before everything was happening for the first time and it's like, 'What's going on?' and 'What does this mean?'" Alba said recently.

"I would look everything up online, I had all my books; I diagnosed myself with everything that can go wrong. Of course nothing went wrong, thank God! I guess I'm sort of more at ease with it all."

Well, Jessica looks gorgeous! She admitted that she's still trying to exercise, and that she doesn't eat too many processed foods, and as far as I can see, that's working out for her.

"If you can do half an hour or 45 minutes a day of something, it's just better for your health and your birthing," she said. "The birth will be so much easier and the recovery is so much easier if you are just moving and you get the blood circulating."

Even if you're not pregnant, a 30-minute or 45-minute workout is great for your blood pressure and general well-being. After all this talk about exercise, I think I'm going to hit the treadmill or maybe do some weight work. I'm not Alba's biggest fan, but she did inspire me.
