Did you say you planned to wear a green wig or dye your hair green temporarily for Saint Patrick’s Day this Thursday, March 17? If you did, here are a few celebrity muses for you to draw some inspiration from: Kyle Jenner, Beyonce, Demi Lavato, Nicki Minaj, Kristen Stewart, Lady GaGa, Angelina Jolie, Katy Perry, Avril Levigne, Amber Rose, Kelis and Lil Mama!
Have a safe Saint Patrick’s Day
The American Association for Family and Marriage estimate that between 12 and 14 million Americans have a sex addiction.
Some of our Bellyitch Bumpwatch and adoptive moms have been on the other end of the addiction, married to men who claimed an insatiable appetite or obsession with sex ruined their relationships.
Most recently, Tori Spelling’s dilemma with her sex addicted husband Dean McDermott has been playing itself out on a Lifetime television reality series. Others like Tea Leoni who was married to addict David Duchovny; Katherine Zeta Jones, married to former sex-addict Michael Douglass and Angelina Jolie, whose ex Billy Bob Thornton, admitted to be an addict, have kept it out of the limelight.
Some, like Sandra Bullock, couldn’t help it but the media made her hubby Jessie James’ sex-addicted cheating ways very public and tabloid fodder. Halle Berry‘s ex husband Eric Benet was widely reported to be an addict too. Benet later retracted the claim. Similarly, Tiger Woods also claimed an addiction for the reason he cheated on his wife Elin Woods and even went to rehab for it.
Charlie Sheen is infamously linked to admittedly cheating on his exes including Denise Richards, partially because of a sex addiction.
Kanye West has admitted to being a sex addict and says it is was fuels his success. Wonder how Kim Kardashian, the mom of his daughter Nori and son Saint, is coping.
While the condition is a legitimate ailment, it is often questioned and presumed to be an excuse for a guy who cannot or will not stay faithful.
If your spouse ever compares your parenting skills to another mom, show them this story about a Texas man who won an entire half marathon while pushing his baby in a jogging stroller!
Last month, Calumn Neff took first place in the Katy Half Marathon in Katy, Texas, while pushing his daughter Holland in a running stroller.
He finished the 13.1 mile trek in 1 hour, 11 minutes and 27 seconds as he kept a steady sub-5:30 per mile pace.
And the 11-month old was a great sport all the while.
“For almost the entire race, she was waving and clapping and talking and babbling away,” Neff told TODAY. “She was stealing all the hearts along the way, that’s for sure.”
And she was crowd pleaser.
“There was so much support on the course,” he added. “Everyone was cheering and a lot of people knew who were and that we were going after the record.”
She only got a bit tired with the routine near the end but was a trooper.
“She fussed a little around mile 11 but I knew I only had 10 minutes left so we just kept pushing through and I wanted to get it done faster for her,” he said, adding that he rubbed her head and gave her a glove to play with.
Neff’s wife, Julie, their 3-year-old daughter, Alessandra, and other relatives were cheering at the finish line. “It was awesome,” Julie Neff added. “There was so much energy. I was shaking, I was so excited.”
Wow!

Spring break is coming up and parents all over the world may be looking for places to go, activities to do and things to keep their young children busy and occupied.
If you can squeeze it in, why not dedicate some time during the day or week for your kid to learn to code? There are tons of free or low cost programs online for babies through high schoolers.
Getting kids and young adults to code and get interested in tech is a big initiative these days. Several dozen programs, clinics, camps, code academies and the like have opened up in real life and online recently with the goal of helping more young people get interested in coding and technology.
Here are 48 of such computer programming and hardware courses that are part of a wonderfully robust and full list of computer learning programs curated by Katie Williams. These are available online.
Recently, I became inspired by blogger Klassy Kinks’ Wardrobe crush, fashion instagrammer FemmeBlk, who does fab things with the colors black and white. The Stockholm, Sweden based style star (who looks to be East African) is an anonymous fashion phenom on that social media platform.

In homage to her chic looks, I assembled a few baby doll dresses, most of which are not maternity dresses, that moms-to-be who are in their early stages of their pregnancies can wear this Spring.

Sunday night’s 88th Academy Awards‘ red carpet didn’t disappoint. I loved loved the dresses tonight worn on all of the blog’s Bellyitch Bumpwatch alums at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood, California! Here are my faves and why they rocked:
Kerry Washington, who presented tonight, looked hawt, haute, hot in this sexy Versace dress with a fitted leather bodice and a deep slit. She accented her look with Harry Winston jewels.
Past Oscar winner and 2016 Best Supporting Actress Academy Award nominee for her role in Steve Jobs Kate Winslet brought her A-game in this strapless black Ralph Lauren gown. She set off her look with Nirav Modi jewels and Christian Louboutin heels.
Jennifer Garner went with black too but in this off the shoulder sequined and satin Versace with a Salvator Ferragamo clutch (not pictured. she accented her look with Rene Caovilla shoes and Neil Lane jewels. She also presented.
I thought past Oscar winner and tonight’s presenter Reese Witherspoon looked quite elegant in her strapless eggplant colored Oscar de la Renta dress accentuated with sparkling jewels from Tiffany’s and Jimmy Choo shoes which you can’t see in this photo.
Finally, Emily Blunt‘s blush elegant Prada dress was feminine and soft. The actress went with Niwaka jewels, Sophia Webster heels and a box clutch by Judith Leiber.
My couple fave was Pharrell Williams, who presented tonight, and is seen above his wife Helen Lascichanh who looked dapper as he. I saw people take some jabs at him but I’m digging the singer songwriter and former Oscar nominee’s hair. Jason Sudeikis and Olivia Wilde and John Legend and Teigen were pretty hawt too!

Preginistas (“Fashionable & Stylish Pregnant Women), as you prep to clean out your closet for Spring and make room for more pieces to complement your growing belly and your lifestyle, I’ve curated a selection of looks from past posts to inspire you.
I recommend colorful maxi dresses that are comfortable and stylish and can be dressed up with a pair of wedges and costume jewelry or down paired with canvas shoes, ballet flats and a denim jacket.
You cannot go wrong with A-line dresses that are belted above the belly with a colorful blazer or cardigan over top. Carry a large vibrant colored tote or clutch to add a pop of color element that is functional because it can also carry all your stuff in it is as well. For the transition weather, you can still get away with some knee high boots with a baby doll or sweater dress.
A cool new pair of aviator or Jackie-O shades will set off any Spring look. As usual, boho or slouch hats, scarves and chunky jewelry like rings, statement necklaces, charm bracelets and big pearl stud earrings are a safe bet for adding style and sophistication to any basic look.
Hit the discount and outlet stores for quality pieces from a previous season to save money or mix and match pieces already in your closet for a stylish look.
Stay fab!

My middle kid is always bored. We have a no TV or video game policy during the school week. We have found that when we let the eldest watch TV and play video games during the week, when he was a kid, that was all he wanted and lived to do. His school work did not come first and his work ethic suffered. As a result, we scaled back TV and video games and eventually banned them altogether Monday thru Thursday. But now the younger kids are having to suffer under the same policy.
So I hear “I’m bored” constantly from the middle kid who finishes his homework pretty quickly and is constantly on the hunt for something to do to occupy his very overactive mind. Thus, it was a no-brainer to get him and his eldest brother together to come up with a list. We also searched the Internet and found some ideas there too. Here is what we came up with:

Breakups happen! When it comes to several of the celebrity women we have ‘bump watched’ over the course of the 8 years of this blog’s existence, they’re not interested in sticking it out for the baby when the relationship heads south.
And thus, not only is BellytichBlog an institution that chronicles celebrity births, it also is a memoriam, of sorts, to relationships that once were. A significant number of pregnancies we’ve bumpwatched from pregnancy through birth were part of unions that have since dissolved.
The most recent is Idris Elba and his make up artist Naiyana Garth who reportedly just broke up. The couple welcomed their first child together in April 2014.
And the breakups aren’t always pretty.
Just this week, songstress and model Ciara filed a $15 Million defamation lawsuit in response to comments her ex hip hop artist Future has said about her in the media, traditional and social media.
Last week, Amber Rose found herself caught in the middle of a Twitter beef between Kim Kardashian‘s husband Kanye West and her ex Wiz Khalifa. West mentioned Rose and Wiz’s son Sebastian and Rose had to go off on him, revealing some intimate deets about their sex life when they were together, obviously to embarrass him and teach him a lesson about dragging her into his social media fights.
“I wouldn’t have said anything if it was just between him and Wiz,” Rose said on theAllegedly podcast. “That’s two grown men hashing it out. That’s their business. I would have kept it cute and just minded my business, but you don’t bring in my baby. That’s so corny.”
She and Kim posted the same “usie” on their respective social media accounts to signal the truce.
Here is a list of 30 of our past featured women who have since parted ways with their respective significant other who they procreated a child with.
Last Summer was a big heartbreak time with the breakups of Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, Sienna Miller and Tom Sturridge, Kourtney Kardashian and Scott Disick, Charlize Theron and Sean Penn and Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton.
Some celebs have broken up before the baby was even born: Christina Milian, Kelis, Heidi Klum and January Jones and many more split with their respective partners before they even gave birth.
Or shortly thereafter…. A couple of year ago, Ciara, Eva Marcille (nee Pigford) and Amber Rose split with their partners before each of their babies turned 6 months old. A few years ago, Selma Blair and her ex Jason Bleick split up 14 months after welcoming their first child together.
No matter what happens, most children grow up in wonderfully co-parenting situations and survive and thrive!
