  • Jill Duggar, Derick Dillard: His Co-Workers Throw Baby Shower

    Jill Duggar, Derick Dillard: His Co-Workers Throw Baby Shower

    Jill Duggar and Derick Dillard received some wonderful gifts for their unborn baby–affectionately dubbed Baby Dilly–from Derick’s Walmart co-workers on Thursday. With just two months to go until Jill Duggar is due to give birth, the 19 Kids and Counting couple felt lots of love at the shower.

    Mom Michelle Duggar, along with several of her siblings, joined Derick Dillard and Jill Duggar for the baby shower. Jill’s baby bump was, of course, front and center at the gathering. She accentuated it in a cute blue and white striped skirt, topped with a white top and blue sweater.

    Derick Dillard shared his excitement and gratitude over the baby shower in an Instagram post.

    “Thank you to my awesome team at work for putting on an unforgettable baby shower for Jill and me! #babydilly #19kids #firstbabyshowerexperience,” he captioned the post.

    Derick works as a tax accountant at Walmart, and when he and Jill Duggar first announced their pregnancy back in August, she set up a baby registry there. It’s uncertain how many of the items on Jill’s registry wound up as gifts at her baby shower, but it’s likely that this won’t be the only shower the couple receives.

    “We were super excited,” Jill Duggar said when discovering she was pregnant. “We prayed together, and thanked God for this new little life. I was screaming and everything. [Derick] was like, ‘Don’t get too excited! You might stress out the baby or something.’ He’s so cute. He’s so sweet.”

    It’s clear she feels the same joy about her husband these days, too. Jill Duggar Dillard posted an adorable shot of her with her hubby via Instagram just a few days ago. It’s plain to see she is in the last trimester of her pregnancy.

    “I’m blessed beyond measure to have the sweetest, most supportive, Godly man as my husband! I love you babe @derickdillard #lunchdate #soinlove #derickdillard,” she captioned the photo.

    Do you expect in the next two months–before Jill Duggar gives birth to Baby Dilly–that someone else will throw a shower for her and Derick? Might one of her sisters–like Jessa Duggar–be the one to host it?

  • Kendra Wilkinson Celebrates Baby Shower

    Kendra Wilkinson Celebrates Baby Shower

    Former Playboy model and the Kendra on Top reality star Kendra Wilkinson celebrated her baby shower last weekend, surrounded by her closest friends and family.

    Kendra, who is set to deliver her baby any day now, had her shower at her friend Jessica Hall’s house in Santa Clarita, California. The shower was planned by Good Carma Studio, and featured Manly Handz massages and candy buffets by Candy Me Up.

    “The baby shower was so much fun,” Kendra told US Weekly. “The first time around, it was more formal and cute and getting stuff I needed. This time around it was more fun. My friends kind of forced me to do it because – you’re not technically supposed to do a second baby shower, but my friends wanted me to do it so bad, it was a good time to get my friends together and just have a good time. It was more like a bachelorette party than it was a baby shower!”

    “I told everyone not to get me anything. They got me amazing gifts but a lot of gag gifts,” she continued. “Everyone was drunk! It was like a light hearted fun, spring day to get together with friends. I’m glad we did it.” Kendra received some awesome presents including a Joovy stroller, Hatch Kids baby clothes, Usana, and a Tupac onesie!

    Kendra and her husband Hank Baskett already have one son Hank Jr., 4. She announced her pregnancy, via Twitter, in October and has admitted that this pregnancy has been a lot more brutal than her pregnancy with Hank Jr.

    She credits spending time with her close friends for helping her through this pregnancy. “It was important for me to do that. When you’re pregnant you’re kind of miserable and feel like crap, and every now and then you see a friend but you don’t really have the energy to do it,” she said. “It felt so great to see everyone.”

  • Emily Blunt Throws Intimate Baby Shower

    On Saturday, December 14, Emily Blunt threw herself an intimate baby shower surrounded by her closest friends. Jennifer Aniston, who was dropped off by her fiancé Justin Theroux, Amy Adams and Kristen Bell all arrived at Blunt’s Los Angeles home carrying gifts wrapped in pink, blue, and purple. Because Blunt and her husband John Krasinski are keeping the gender of the baby a secret, the shower was decorated in pink and blue balloons.

    Blunt and Krasinski confirmed that they were expecting their first child back in September. The couple married in 2010 while in Italy, and were very open about their desire to have children. In 2012, while speaking to Manhattan magazine, Blunt said: “We want to have children; I just don’t know when yet. I’m just not sure about the timing of all of that. We’re both from big families, so I think it’s something we want.”

    Despite Blunt’s celebrity guests, sources say that the shower was very low key and casual. “It was a very casual shower,” the source said. “Emily seems very excited about the baby and looks great. She opened gifts of baby clothes and plush toys in front of her guests as they enjoyed cookies and chocolate. Everyone was oohing and ahhing.”

    Blunt and Krasinski will be celebrating the arrival of their bundle of joy sometime in January.
