Lara Dutta set for a Valentine's Day baby

It seems that actor Lara Dutta might just be all set for a ‘Valentine’s Day baby.’ “The baby is due in February 2012. I have thought of some boy names as well as girl names, so we are prepared for whatever the gender of the baby is. It is more important to give birth to a healthy baby, whether a boy or girl. As for the baby room, we have not started work on that as yet, but will surely do so soon,” she says.

According to sources, the baby will be due in February’s second week, which is why Valentine’s Day seems a likely due date. Lara says that she still keeps her weight under check even though she is in her advanced stages of pregnancy.

“I attribute weight management to smart eating. A balanced diet along with regular exercise can help to regulate metabolism. I break my meals into smaller ones and control my portions. I ensure I drink at least 6-8 glasses of water daily. Yoga and cardio are integral parts of my exercise routine. This helps me maintain my figure and feel special every day,” she says.

Dad Mahesh is equally excited. “Mahesh and I are both very excited about the baby. I accompany him wherever and whenever I can during his travels. Even if I can’t fly during my pregnancy, as long as Mahesh is winning all his matches and clinching titles it’s all worth it. As of now, I am only experiencing one mood — that of utmost happiness!” she said.
