Jessica Simpson is in her third trimester, and it sure looks like she's nesting! The star celebrated her baby shower with friends and family recently. All of Jessica's loved ones were in attendance, including her mom, Tina Simpson, and one of her best friends, CaCee Cobb. The chic get-together was a sweet way to prepare for Jessica's third child — a little girl due this spring. Jessica first announced her pregnancy to fans with a gender reveal on Instagram last September.
As Jessica's due date draws closer, it seems that she and former NFL tight end hubby Eric Johnson have settled on a name for the newest member of the family. All signs are pointing to the name Birdie, although it's unclear if that will be the full name or a nickname. There was even a neon light sign at the baby shower that read "Birdie's Nest." The soon-to-be family of five are no strangers to unique names. Birdie will join siblings Maxwell Drew, 6, and Ace Knute, 5.
Jessica Simpson has come a long way from her sugary-sweet pop star days. It's been nearly two decades since Jessica stepped on the scene with her debut album Sweet Kisses.
For one thing, pop music isn't her scene anymore. Snippets of new music have indicated Jessica's going back to her roots in country music. Jessica has reportedly been working on an eighth album on and off over the last few years, but music hasn't been her primary focus for some time.
These days, Jessica's business ventures focus mostly on fashion. Her shoe line is insanely popular, and she's also designed accessories, jewelry, and fragrances.
However, the titles that matter most to Jessica are "wife" and "mother." Jessica has been married to retired NFL tight end Eric Johnson since 2014.
Jessica and Eric are parents to two beautiful kids. Daughter Maxwell Drew is 6 years old, and son Ace Knute is 5 years old.
Jessica had previously mentioned that she felt like she was done having kids. That's why it surprised fans when this past September she announced that she was expecting her third child.
Jessica shared the news with fans with photos of her children playing with balloons. The images also revealed that baby No. 3 would be a little girl. "This little baby girl will make us a family of five," Jessica wrote. "We couldn’t be happier to announce this precious blessing of life."
All eyes have been on Jessica's bump as everyone anxiously awaits the arrival of their little girl. Jessica is expected to give birth early this spring.
Jessica's family and friends recently got together to celebrate the new arrival with a beautiful baby shower. Us Weekly reports that some of Jessica's pregnancy cravings were offered up as appetizers — mini fried chicken bites, mini corn dogs, and mini hamburgers.
The baby shower was a special affair featuring all of Jessica's loved ones. Friends CaCee Cobb, Ken Pavés, and Joyce Bonelli were all in attendance.
Jessica looked radiant at the event, wearing a beautiful headpiece by Erica Elizabeth Designs. The fun-filled event even had a make-your-own headpiece station so you could look as fierce as Jessica!
Photos of the special day have revealed a neon light-up sign that says "Birdie's Nest." It seems Birdie will be baby No. 3's moniker.
Entertainment Tonight reports that Birdie is a family name, although which side of the family is unclear. The unique name feels fitting in a family full of children with unique names.
It won't be long before Jessica brings her little Birdie back to the nest! The world is waiting to meet her!
