Amy!

When is her baby due? How in the world does she stand up on those hard floors in high heels being pregnant?

Here's my question....Do or did any of you manage to walk around up until your baby was due wearing high heels? If you did, I'm in awe!

My mother always wore heels. Even when she was in her late 70's she had to have smaller heels on shoes because she said her achilles shrunk and she needed some kind of heel.

What about you guys? Women are awesome! Just think how they manage to work day in and day out, carrying around another human. I did and I know many of you did too!

I believe her baby is due in November. Other than the baby bump you would never know she is pregnant. She has really kept her weight at a minimum which helps when wearing heels, etc. I suspect they go on right before the airing and off the minute she's off air. She looks wonderful.

My feet grew a half size so no shoes fit; I felt like a Neandertthal woman. It was also summer in Texas-ugghhh! Did I mention I gained 55 lbs.?

No, no heels for me, thank you.

She said they go on a minute before the camera and off as soon as the camera is gone.

Amy looks absolutely beautiful. She glows. She wore the stilettos right up until she delivered Bryn, too (?I think thats her name).

As I've said before, Amy is the most impressive of the young Hosts, IMO. She is always prepared, knows her items, looks impecable, speaks properly, always professional yet friendly: the complete package. She also has great style and is a dedicated mom to boot.

I don't know this for sure but I am afraid she may go to even fewer hours when she returns from her leave. I would love to see more Inspired Style, even maybe a Home edition, but not at the expense of her young family.

Mary Beth & Jane T did it, however, come to think of it.

I had qvc on a couple days ago and was watching Amy with Lori from LOGO when a caller mentioned her pregnancy and her ability to stay on her feet. Amy said, "I'm going down," because obviously her body was hurting her. Without skipping a beat Lori said, "No, she's not," and then continued talking about her product line. It really made me think that maybe they are requiring her to work or pressuring her with the show must go on. I'm sure her feet hurt at the very least.

This afternoon she said her little boy was due in three weeks.

She does look great

I did too and when I was that age, I was so used to wearing them!

I love Amy!

There is no reason Amy can not use a pair of more comfortable shoes from the models closet when she needs to change out of her heels. If she is selling shoes they give her a pair for the show. She does a beautiful job of presenting the products and I enjoy watching her.

I think women are amazing as well!!! I was on my feet constantly with all four of my babies. With the first two, I wore heels all the way up to the day of delivery, but my feet didn't hurt...but the pressure was uncomfortable...Uggghhh. I know every woman is different, but I worked up until the day of delivery with all of them, delivered in 6 to 8 hours with absolutely no medicine...I was tired believe me, but the pain to me didn't get any worse after about 7 centimeters. I was just exhausted. Now they are all grown!

Amy I am sure is feeling tired...God bless her!

Most of what I know about having babies and a lot of the interesting stuff I learned from my daughters when they were pregnant. Ha! I'm still learning...never stop learning...never too old to learn...my Dad used to say..."teach an old dog new tricks" (he changed the saying).

I come from a long line of strong, independent women. I am no different from anyone else about trying out face creams, beauty products, etc.

But sometimes (I guess now at my age) I think it bares repeating that we women are amazing and we don't HAVE to have flawless, beautiful skin or an amazing body. It's all about if we CHOOSE to work to achieve it. We are all different. Sometimes we all forget we are amazing and we 'attack' each other for one reason or another. But when it comes down to it....we all know we are smart (and as the song goes....I am invincible...I am woman)....Ha!

Besides, where would this country be if we didn't spend zillions of dollars on making ourselves even better?

Amy needs to control Lori a lot better than she does. She needs to get through the color choices without Lori going off on the garments features before she does. She doesn't take control enough - Lori has control of the show mostly and that's not how it should be. Other hosts control Lori better.

I also don't think Amy is prepared. Oftentimes she doesn't know the names of the colors that are abbreviated on her cards. She needs to review what's in the show first and if in doubt about a color abbreviation, ask before the show. She gets them wrong too often. "Cam" recently was camo green not chamomile, as just one example. She also had no clue last week how to pronounce "haute" or what it was, and kept checking with Lori. Really, she's never heard of "haute couture?" Again, she needs to prepare much better and go over her products with her informational cards before the show, which clearly she doesn't.

She's not the only female host that's not prepared, but I think she's the biggest offender. I think her lazy use of the English language and grammar is just sad, not hip like I think she means it to be.

I agree she frequently is not prepared. Then she blathers and natters to cover it up.

@blackhole99 I never said she was the only one. I wrote that basically in disagreement of the poster somewhere above me who commented that Amy is always prepared. No, she certainly isn't.

It's hard to imagine hosts getting up before an audience of thousands and not taking a few minutes to prepare. I'd be scared to death I'd mispronounced or goof something up, but it doesn't seem to bother quite a few of the hosts. Preparedness ought to be part of their performance evaluations. From what I see and hear, I'd say their supervision is lax.

One thing you have to say about Jill is that she does her homework and is always prepared.

I did work until my babies were born but my feet swelled, and my sense of balance altered towards the end. I made no attempt to stuff my feet into high heels.

Too bad this thread turned into a bash Amy's selling techniques when it was originally about how great she looks at 8 months pregnant.

I agree she looks great and I love how she is rocking those orange heels. She is always able to "funk" up the most mundane or fumpy outfits. I think she is prepared as well as any of the other hosts. I thought she did a great job in the "My Pillow" HOUR! She was prepared and seemed to know all that was necessary to talk about it......afterall.....an hour about a pillow??

Good job, Amy, and you are looking great!
