Los Angeles - Blake Lively celebrated a joint baby shower with two of her pregnant friends.
The 26-year-old actress, who is expecting her first child with husband Ryan Reynolds, shared intimate photos from the recent bash on her new lifestyle website, Preserve.us, on Friday, and admitted she has "so much to do" before her giving birth to her first child.
In a blog post titled Bringing Up Baby, the Savages star confessed she enjoyed letting her hair down before getting to grips with the realities of motherhood, writing: "With a new baby on the way there is so much to do! But before experiencing the joy of 3am screams, seemingly impossible amounts of poop and having a favourite shirt covered in reflux... there are presents to open, onesies to dye, there is cake to serve, advice to be shared and all around celebration to be had. And that we did..."
Blake showed off her and two her friends growing baby bumps and photographs of nieces and nephews playing at the small garden party.
