Aug 31 (IBNS) It was an unusual shower for mom-to-be Ellen Pompeo. She was joined by 25 friends, including Kate Walsh, Sandra Oh and Rebecca Gayheart, for a baby shower at Katherine Heigl’s home in the Los Feliz section of Los Angeles.
People.com reported that Pompeo and her husband Chris Ivery are expecting a baby daughter in October.
“Ellen looked gorgeous in a white summer dress with her hair in a braided up-do. She seemed very excited to celebrate with her girlfriends,” an eyewitness was quoted as saying by People.com.
The catered, outdoor baby bash was held in the backyard. Umbrellas shielded guests from the heat – L.A. temps reached 104 degrees – and pink flower arrangements and candles accented the tables.
Guests brought gifts wrapped in girly pink and yellow colors. Many of the gifts – which included a Sleep Sheep toy mobile, Sleepy Safari stacking toys, organic hooded towels and a Kiddopotamus organic swaddle wrap – came from the Juvenile Shop in Sherman Oaks, where Pompeo is registered.
Earlier in the day, Pompeo and her friend Nicole Richie – who also is pregnant – shared some special time together.
Pompeo has not let her pregnancy slow her down. When not busy filming new episodes of Grey’s Anatomy, she keeps in shape with workout sessions at a local gym. In addition, she and Ivery are remodeling a new home.
