We are sensing a pattern.
Chrissy Teigen has said she doesn’t like baby showers so her friends throw her surprise ones each time she is pregnant.
She gets two: a surprise baby shower in New York City for her east coast friends and family and one in Los Angeles, usually thrown by her Kardashian pals.
This time was no different.
After celebrating her and husband John Legend’s impending arrival in Manhattan at a surprise baby shower in November, this past Friday, Kim Kardashian-West hosted another low key baby shower.
Last round, the make up module treated her friend to a McDonald’s feast to celebrate now two-year old baby Luna before she was born.
This time, Kardashian chose Shake Shack to cater the event for the Sports Illustrated swimsuit model.
The all-star guest list included Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, Legend, Kris Jenner, and more.
A buffet of five elegant cakes followed, each featured puns and phrases with the word “Legend” in it like, “A Legend in the Making” and “Legendary.”

Teigen, who conceived her daughter through in vitro fertilization, decided to try IVF again for the couple’s second child. “You do the whole process again to try to get as many embryos and eggs as possible,” the mother-to-be told People back in February. “Everyone is freezing everything, and then you make the embryos out of what you freeze and try to make viable perfect embryos.”
Once you hit that certain age, it seems like every one of your friends is having a baby. Every other weekend you have a baby shower and the birth announcements are inundating your mail. Buying baby shower and newborn gifts can be stressful.
Things Remembered, Pottery Barn, BabyBox.com, Stork Baby and a few other companies offer personalized gift boxes to help make the process seamless, but Rock a Box Babyclaims to be the first customizable baby gift box company.
Kylie Kaufman, its founder, offers on how to get through all your baby shower and newborn shopping:
Keep it simple: You more than likely have numerous baby gifts to buy, so don’t spend too much time stressing about what to buy. “Our boxes are so simple and easy, they take less than a few minutes to make, yet look super sophisticated. People will think you spent a ton of time, but in reality, you didn’t,” Kaufman explained. Moral of story, find one gift that you can give to everyone, yet looks custom.
Give something that will last forever: Babies grow so quickly, so why spend hundreds of dollars on stuff that they will use for weeks or months. “Our boxes are meant to last forever. They’re lacquer keepsake boxes with names and monograms that look adorable in nurseries as well as nightstands in master bedrooms. They grow with the baby.”
Don’t break the bank: Baby shower and newborn gifts don’t come cheap when you have one every other weekend. Before you know it, half of your paycheck is going to baby showers. “Our boxes start at $25 and can go north of $250. Because they’re completely custom, you can pick exactly how much you spend.”
Good luck shopping!
Okay, people are really getting creative with the baby shower themes these days! of The Bachelorette is expecting her second child and recently had a baby shower that was all denim-themed and on the beach!
As Celeb Baby Scoop reports:
People shared the details about her baby shower. Ali is just a couple weeks away from having her second child, which will be a baby boy. She already has a little girl with husband Kevin Manno.
The baby shower that they had for Ali was a blue jean baby-themed bash on the beach. Ali shared that it was the perfect shower. Be Inspired PR were the ones who planned the baby shower for her. It was held at the Malibu Beach Inn. Ali shared details saying, “There were so many beautiful touches that made the day so special. Those included décor from Table Top rentals (gold beaded chargers provided by Soiree8) and Soiree8 (navy goblets), ‘Oh Boy’ stir sticks and a sign by Creative Amme, stationary byXowyo Paper and Press, as well as handmade denim braids by Jesi Haack Design.”
This weekend actress and author Tia Mowry Hardrict and her husband Cory Hardrict celebrated the impending arrival of their second child, a daughter, at a Bohemian and “whimsical” themed Farm table baby shower at the Il Pastaio restaurant in Beverly Hills.
The Sister, Sister and The Game alum enlisted the help of celebrity event planner Mindy Weiss who incorporated pink florals, wooden place mats, and twinkling lights at the intimate evening affair.
The mom-to-be of the hour wore a coral lace maxi dress to the event also attended by her 6 1/2 year old son Cree Taylor, her sister Tamera Mowry-Housley, and brothers Taj and Tavior.
“I’m literally still on a high from my baby shower,” the Instant Mom alum told PEOPLE about her March 31st celebration. “We chose the boho theme mainly because my husband and I have been looking at a couple of names and have been narrowing down. And we felt like her name fit that theme…So we wanted to give some sort of tribute to her already. Cory and I also love the boho styles and everything. It made a lot of sense. The baby shower was in theme with her name.”
They didn’t share what the baby’s name will be but did reveal that her initials will be CTH, same as her son’s.
“I learned my lesson, so many people have so many opinions and this is kind of just between you and your husband,” she told the celebrity site. “I’m definitely going to wait, but we did play a game where guests can guess the baby’s name. And some of them were pretty close.”
“My husband surprised me, I had no idea. He had Kenny Lattimore come and sing. It was special for me because Kenny Lattimore sang at our wedding. He sang ‘For You’ which is the song I walked down the aisle to,” she says of the special song that also commemorated their 10-year anniversary, which is April 20. “Cory wanted to surprise me with his present. I walked into the room and gasped like, ‘What is happening here?’ and just sang the song. There was not a dry eye in the room. It was just so amazing. It was just wonderful.”
The event was made even more special because of the struggles the couple had to conceive their second child.
“I didn’t think I’d be able to have a second child, and it’s been over seven years since my first pregnancy… I put it off, but I did want to have another child,” she shared to PEOPLE earlier. “I didn’t let my infertility issues define me or define what my goals were and what I wanted out of life. We did try for a long time. It was hard. But I didn’t give up.”
Her husband Cory recently opened up to ESSENCE about his undying love for his pregnant wife:
“I could go on forever talking about my wife [but] I will make sure that I will always do anything that she wants and needs at the drop of a finger to make sure she’s happy… It’s just like how I live my everyday life. [Even] when y’all don’t see that, that’s still what happens in the house. I’m rubbing her feet, running her a bath, doing whatever I can to make sure she’s okay.”
Altogether now….Awwwww!

It is not uncommon for moms and dads-to-be to receive multiple baby showers. Often times, a family member or close friend will host one for close ties, the workplace will throw a work shower and if there is family in a remote location, there will be a shower thrown there so those back home can also celebrate and shower the new parents.
For celebrities, often times brands and media organizations will also host a shower as the case with Khloe’s. The following celebs had brands sponsor their showers

The mom-to-be, who wore a blush silk crepe robe and hand-beaded cocktail dress custom made by Sergio Hudson, also paid tribute to her beloved stuffed giraffe named Henry. The entrance features a “huge giraffe topiary.” Our source elaborates, “There are pink roses and hydrangeas everywhere, it’s like an amazing pink garden with floor to ceiling flowers.”

One of the last nesting chores that moms-to-be have to do before the arrival of baby is the washing and folding of all the baby’s new clothes.
The reason you wash all of the clothes your newborn will wear for the earliest months of her life is that they have very sensitive skin. New clothes sometimes have chemical residue on them from processing, packaging and shipping. Also, different grubby hands man-handle the clothes in stores before you pluck them off the shelves or racks. Babies’ skin could break out easily if any residue or agents aren’t washed out of them before you put the clothes on them.
With all of my kids, I relied on Dreft which is one of several specially formulated gentler detergents.
It has a light scent and was great for preparing all their towels, blankets, bedding and clothing for when they would arrive. Dreft has been a parent staple for years and so has Ivory Snow. I know that since I last gave birth, that there has been several other companies to spring up providing soap just for babies.
After washing, you have to organize and arrange the clothing in the baby’s nursery, wardrobe, drawers and closet. Check out the BabyTalk with Bellyitch video I did years ago, back in 2012, with tips on how to prep our baby’s clothing in the nursery before the baby arrives:
American Idol champ Jordin Sparks had a “low key” baby shower this weekend in her native Arizona.
A friend and her sister in law Jessica Sparks organized the event, according to the “No Air” singer’s husband of 7 months, model Dana Isaiah.
“’We had a low key baby shower for Little man in AZ with family and friends this afternoon,” Jordin captioned a family photo of the event “It was beautiful.”
She added: “’I am so grateful for the support system I’ve had growing up and the roots that took hold to support us now. This journey is incredible. God is good.’
Since confirming her pregnancy in November, the star says things have been smooth sailing.
Dana and Isaiah had a babymoon in Mexico.
“It’s been good! It’s been really good actually. I didn’t have any morning sickness!” the star told Life & Style during the launch of the Smiles with Lay’s program, “So it was nice to be able to eat food and keep it down.”
Her husband posted photos of the event as well as her brother PJ on their respective Instagram feed.
