I wish I looked half as chic as Jessica Alba at either of my baby showers! It's pretty tough to pull off an outfit this cute when you're as heavily preggers as Alba was at the West Hollywood baby shower thrown by her friends this weekend. I'm betting there's still plenty of gear left over from daughter Honor Warren's infancy for her soon-to-arrive sibling, but it is undeniably fun to get all-new goodies for Baby #2.
And can we give the lady a round of applause for rockin' those shoes?? Alba must have some pretty phenomenal balance to be able to get around in heels like that when her center of gravity is, well ... way off-center.
I also love that Alba took to Twitter right away to thank the friends who gave her the shower, saying that it was "perfect in every way."
Because as we all know, if she'd waited a few more hours -- or, god forbid, a whole day -- that pregnancy fog brain would have taken over and she would've forgotten all about sending a thank-you tweet (possibly that she even had a baby shower). Yup, we're really at the top of our game during those last weeks, aren't we ladies?
The more I think about it, the more trouble I have deciding which was the bigger accomplishment for Alba: Walking upright in those shoes, or promptly thanking her friends.
Which do you think was the better preggers trick: Alba's heels or her thank-you tweet?

I don't get having baby showers for second or more babies. If you want to have a party for the baby, have it after they are born. Asking for presents for more than one child just seems tacky.
Agreed Rachel!!
Eyeroll for this entire post.
agree with all previous posters. I could only see having showers for 2nd and on kids is if you are having multiples (because, come on, you WILL need help) or a different sex from the first--and that is still iffy in my book.
With #2 I plan on doing a "meet the baby" party after baby is born. NOT a shower. but to each their own. Rich celebrities probably dont hang on to the baby gear from #1 because they know they can afford all new stuff whenever the next ones come along. I still have all of my gender neutral gear and am all set for another baby, even though we are not even pregnant.
I think every baby deserves a celebration. Throw a BBQ or something instead of a shower. There are diaper parties too.. can't use those again on baby #2. Showers don't have to be all about presents. You can tastefully ask guests to not bring gifts but to just be a part of the celebration. I'm glad all of my kids will have photos of each celebration we had for them. It wasn't about receiving things but rather being thankful and excited about the baby coming. I'm not a fan of a "meet the baby" after birth because I don't like visitors after and I don't want their germs in my house either. I'd rather spend that precious time with my husband, kids, and new baby. Besides... we all like wasting a little time at the end of our pregnancies. It seems to drag at the end.. what a better way to pass some time than to have a party!
Who are you guys to say that it's rude and tacky for someone to give a person as many baby showers as they want to give I have 3 boys and a little girl on the way and my friends and family gave me a shower for each one my kids and my 3rd son had two because my family threw me one where they live and when i got home to the town Iive in my church family had me one It's rude and tacky to say oh no I don't want a shower after they decided to give you one no one is holding a gun to anyones head to give them a shower I'm sure and one of my husbands friends is throwing him a diaper party also we are just blessed I guess to have wonderful friends and family ;)
