Vanessa Minnillo Prepares For Due Date With Helpful Baby Tips

Vanessa Minnillo and her husband Nick Lachey are counting down the days til her due date. Latest reports puts her delivery in the fall likely in the month of September, date unknown. Vanessa has shared quite a bit with her fans mostly on Twitter from baby bump pictures to baby tips for expecting moms like herself. The tips are shared on Mondays called #MaternityMonday. The Wipeout host’s latest tip stated, “It’s a good idea to put all ur baby stuff together ahead of time AND try it out. Then ur familiar. #NoSurprises”

Although this is she and Lachey’s first child the 31-year old host comes off like a pro. In a recent interview given late last month Vanessa confirmed she is ready and anxious. “I’m feeling good, mostly anxious. Once you get down to the last couple of weeks, you are constantly on edge because it could happen at any minute. We have done all our preparation, so now it’s the waiting game.”

With the big things out of the way, like preparing for your first child, you can do other things like spend time with your husband before a third person comes and take all the attention. Earlier this week Vanessa and Nick were spotted out and about in Calabasas, Calif and later for a private dinner which the lucky lady tweeted about to her followers.

“Thank You @NickSLachey for this beautiful surprise! You definitely know the way to my heart, FOOD! #PrivateDinnerForTwo”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
