Looking to do some well-deserved pregnancy pampering, Jessica Alba hit up a Beverly Hills nail salon earlier today (July 6).
The 30-year-old momma-to-be showed off her bountiful baby belly in a super-form fitting white shirt and long, flowing green skirt.
During an interview for Latina magazine's first ever family issue (August 2011), Jessica opened up about the ease of this pregnancy compared to her firs,t telling, ?The first time around, every moment was so new and terrifying and now I know what to expect. It?s like ?It?s fine, I?ve been there before.? With Honor, I was constantly asking myself ?Is she moving? Is her heart beating?? I?d worry about everything, and with this baby I don?t have the same anxieties.?
As for leaving her little ones to focus on the big screen - Alba says no way, explaining, ?After I had Honor I didn?t leave the house for a while. It was all about changing diapers and feedings and still trying to get back in to the routine of my [acting] thing. I love what I do. But unless it?s worth it, I?m not going to spend time away from my daughter. Before I had her, work was all I had. Now it?s not," adding that baby number three could be a possibility, ?I just have to feel it out. See how my 30s treat me. I just try to live in the moment.?

I feel like I see new photos of Jessica Alba every other day, almost all of them ?candids? - like, Alba and Honor going to the doctor, Alba and Honor playing in the park, Alba and Honor walking down the street. It is my belief that Alba is trying to work out the same kind of ?Every Mom? likeability that Jennifer Garner has and maintains through her endless candid photo shoots with her daughters. The problem? No one really gives a crap about Jessica Alba. Most people aren?t even interested in her second pregnancy, which has to be a big letdown for Alba. After she gave birth to Honor, she gave lots of interviews about how her body was ruined, and she often came across like she was martyring herself, all for motherhood (and public adulation). It was kind of funny. Anyway, Alba covers the new issue of Latina Magazine, and she?s once again trying to get us interested in anything having to do with her bump. Oddly enough, I find her comments about race to be the most interesting things:
On preparing for her second child: ?The first time around, every moment was so new and terrifying and now I know what to expect. It?s like ?It?s fine, I?ve been there before.? With Honor, I was constantly asking myself ?Is she moving? Is her heart beating?? I?d worry about everything, and with this baby I don?t have the same anxieties.?
On balancing motherhood & her career: ?After I had Honor I didn?t leave the house for a while. It was all about changing diapers and feedings and still trying to get back in to the routine of my [acting] thing. I love what I do. But unless it?s worth it, I?m not going to spend time away from my daughter. Before I had her, work was all I had. Now it?s not.?
On the possibility of more kids: ?I just have to feel it out,? she says with a wink. ?See how my 30s treat me. I just try to live in the moment.?
On showing off your shape: ?If you are sporting a pregnant belly, it?s better to show it than to hide it. If you look in the mirror and you look really wide and frumpy, then you?re going to appear really wide and frumpy. The more figure forming your clothes, even though you have more curves, the better. I like long, thin sweaters that kind of hide my hips and my booty, so there?s not a huge emphasis on how big they?re getting.?
On her insecurities: ?I was a lot more insecure when I was younger. I was very sensitive to criticism. Now I?m definitely a lot more self-assured.? In 2008, she told Latina: ?All of the stuff I got made fun of as a kid? bubble butt, fish lips, the dark skin ? I?m proud of now.?
On landing her breakthrough role: ?I certainly knew the significance of Dark Angel because I knew how difficult it was just to get to that point. A lot of people didn?t even give me a chance based on how racially ambiguous I looked.?
On studying Spanish: ?I?ve definitely considered moving to a Spanish-speaking country for a little while, even if it?s just a month or two, because I think at the end of the day that?s how you really learn.?

?A lot of people didn?t even give me a chance based on how racially ambiguous I looked.? That quote is driving me crazy, mostly because I interpret Alba as blaming her own “ambiguous” ethnicity on the fact that she doesn’t get the kind of roles she wants (as opposed to her being a crappy actress). CB thinks Alba is saying, “I’m not easily classified as Latina or girl next door American, so I didn’t get considered for parts because of that.” Perhaps Alba is just trying to explain why no one wants to work with someone who thinks that because she?s so amazing, she gets to make up her own lines to any script?
By the way, going back to the race thing - Alba has gotten in trouble (”foot in mouth” trouble) for talking about her Mexican roots in the past - it was in 2007 when she talked about how she didn?t self-identify as ?Latina? (ironic, considering this magazine interview). You can read more from that 2007 interview here.

In an interview with Latina magazine, Jessica Alba talks about her second baby, showing off her pregnant belly and the insecurities she had as a kid. She also talked about her breakout role in Dark Angel and how a lot of people in Hollywood glossed over her based on her racially ambiguous look. Huh?
?I certainly knew the significance of Dark Angel because I knew how difficult it was just to get to that point. A lot of people didn?t even give me a chance based on how racially ambiguous I looked.?
I just don’t see a casting director sitting on his couch and telling Jessica Alba that she wasn’t good for this part because no one could figure out if she was Mexican, Puerto Rican or a really tan white girl. His raging erection would have clearly undermined his argument.

What the hell? ?A lot of people didn?t even give me a chance based on how racially ambiguous I looked.? Um? no. I don?t understand that at all - it?s like she?s trying to say that she doesn?t look like she?s Hispanic (like looking Hispanic is some kind affliction), but that she?s still the Victim of Cruel, Racist Hollywood - even though she doesn?t look ?ethnic? (in her mind). Trying to follow this ridiculous logic is mind-numbing. Perhaps Alba is just trying to explain why no one wants to work with a marginally talented actress who thinks that because she?s so amazing, she gets to make up her own lines in any script?
By the way, going back to the race thing - Alba has gotten in trouble (foot in mouth trouble) for talking about her Mexican roots before. In 2007, she talked about how she didn?t self-identify as ?Latina? (ironic, considering this magazine interview), and she said in part, ?Alba is my last name and I’m proud of that. But that’s it. My grandparents were born in California, the same as my parents, and though I may be proud of my last name, I’m American. Throughout my whole life, I’ve never felt connected to one particular race or heritage, nor did I feel accepted by any. If you break it down, I’m less Latina than Cameron Diaz, whose father is Cuban. But people don’t call her Latina because she’s blonde.? You can read more from that 2007 interview here.

As much as I don’t like to admit that I’m kind of finding a pregnant lady hot, that’s exactly what’s happening with these shots of Jessica Alba. Obviously I’m not digging that alien belly of hers, but those big pregnant breasts have got my attention. I’ve heard they’re making ice cream out of breast milk

I’m sure you’ve heard people talk about pregnant women having a glow, well I’m convinced that a big part of that is their growing pregnant cleavage. Here’s Jessica Alba “glowing” at some event last night in a nice white pregnant chick dress. I don’t normally find this kind of thing all that attractive, but she’s

Jessica Alba’s really growing on me lately with her relatively lucid statements about hypnobirthing and general aura, but I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before she opens her mouth on the subject of acting and ruins it all. However, I must also admit that Alba’s impressed me again, not merely because she’s attended the Covenant House 2011 Gala and Awards Dinner to raise money for the homeless, but that she’s done so during such an advanced state of pregnancy. While I worked up until the day I gave birth, it wasn’t by choice, and if I had Alba’s bank account, it would be couch city at this point. Yet despite all of Alba’s recent fashion and charity-

Stepping out for a good cause, Jessica Alba was spotted at the Covenant House California Awards Dinner in Los Angeles last night (June 9).
The ?Good Luck Chuck? babe posed with iconic director James Cameron and his wife Suzy (of whom she presented an award) during the ?A Magical Night of Hope?- themed shindig at the Skirball Cultural Center.
Jessica joined the effort to raise money to help homeless youth in California get off the streets and turn their lives around.
Earlier this week, the preggers star was back on the East Coast for the CFDA Awards, preceded by her hubby Cash Warren?s 10-year reunion at Yale University.

Keeping up on her routine beauty schedule, Jessica Alba was spotted leaving a nail salon in Beverly Hills, CA on Thursday (June 9).
The ?Machete? mama looked preggers pretty in flared jeans, a loose-fitting striped tank and black blazer as she made her way past the paparazzi to her car.
On the career front, Miss Alba has stepped up as the new face of Piaget - which is a Swiss luxury jewelry brand.
Taking over for Sienna Miller, Jessica told press, ?The great thing about these pieces is how chic and simple they are. It's [jewelry] that you can hang on to and pass down. This is something I would want my daughter to have later in life."
