Baby bump or no baby bump, we’re loving Bey Bey’s casual chic style these days. Yesterday, Bey was seen rocking a very cool black n blue ensemble, leaving a midtown Manhattan office.

The mother-to-be was also out and about in her other favorite borough. Check out Bey’s weekend gear:

Never one to turn down a photo-op, mommy-to-be Beyoncé was photographed today on the way to her office. Hey, business don’t stop for nobody – even baby Knowles (yup, we’ve already predicted the name of her child) Bey Bey is keeping it stylish with a Potion No.9 shirt, some animal print heels and a very enviable, electric blue bag.

Dear Beyoncé,

As a recent new mother there are some things I believe that each new mother should share with the next slew of baby boomer contributors. Sure the obvious suggestions of eating healthy, getting rest and keeping an active lifestyle are all great pieces of advice, but when the pregnancy glow has faded and the maternity clothes find their way to the back of the closet there is a time that every new mom ask the infamous question “Why didn’t someone warn me?”

Although we all know our share of expecting mothers, there was no bigger surprise to the hip-hop community than the revelation of your pregnancy Mrs. Carter. I presume it is only fair to presume that you are the head baby bump in charge these days seeing as you exposed your pregnancy on a nationally syndicated television program, the MTV Music Awards, in front of over a million viewers.

We, your fans and all of America, have watched you grow into a budding business woman and a remarkable performer. I mean honestly girl, the things you do in heels I can’t do barefoot, but parenthood will be a challenge that even you may struggle with at times. We all know that Solange and Momma Knowles will have your back but for the little things that they may miss you can find in this list of five things you, and all other expecting mothers, should know about before becoming a new mommy.

First things first:

During an interview with an Australian Television channel last week, viewers noted an oddly shaped bump while Beyoncé was taking her seat, fueling rumors that the pop icon was wearing a prosthetic belly to dramatize her pregnancy. Of course, Bey fired back and shot down the rumors as “ridiculous.” We thought so too. Seriously, who does that? It was obviously the dress which created the crazy illusion.

The size of Bey’s waist seems to stay pretty consistent with the timeline of her pregnancy, which was announced in August at the VMAs. Jay and Bey are expecting their son or daughter (we think daughter) in February which means she is about five months into her pregnancy. Here’s some shots of her growing baby bump since September.
