Reality Check: Ashlee Isn't a No Carbs Kind of Girl
Even though she lives the So Cal lifestyle, Ashlee Simpson-Wentz told Women's Health that she doesn't starve herself for a Hollywood figure; she simply loves food, and one of her favorite feasts features Mexican fare. Once a week Ashlee and her hubby, Fall Out Boy bassist Pete Wentz, invite family and friends over for taco night.

Has Registration Ever Stopped You From Using a Site?
On the hunt for a good news story, I was clicking around and found a teaser for something interesting. But when I tried to click through, I was directed to a screen asking me to register, free, for content.

Low Birth Weight
HEALTH GUIDE REFERENCE FROM A.D.A.M Low Birth Weight Low birth weight refers to infants who weigh less than 5.5 pounds at birth. Most normal babies weigh 5.5 pounds by 37 weeks of gestation. Intrauterine growth restriction refers to delayed growth within the uterus, which then leads to low birth weight.What to Expect at Your Postpartum Checkup
Mamas wait for what seems like an eternity for their babies, so when they finally arrive it's a big relief. There's another wonderful thing that comes with holding the warm bundle of joy, clearing your calendar of prenatal appointments!

Nicole Hits the Beach with Her Bump, Bikini and Joel!
Nicole Richie bared her baby bump over the weekend at the beach in Malibu with Joel Madden. We caught a glimpse of Nicole in her bikini before Harlow's birth almost two years ago, and it looks like relaxing by the ocean is one of her favorite pregnancy routines.
