Jessica Simpson holds stunning baby shower - and reveals unusual name choice

Jessica Simpson looks every inch a forest nymph - complete with flower crown and long wavy locks - at the stunning baby shower she held at the weekend. The singer gave her Instagram followers glimpses inside the happy celebration, which was attended by loved ones including her daughter Maxwell, five, mother Tina and sister Ashlee Simpson, 34 - who brought along her three-year-old daughter, Jagger Snow. One look at the fabulous photos reveals the theme for the gathering - Birdie's Nest - which appears to be the name Jessica and her husband Eric Johnson have chosen for their third child - a little girl who will be born this spring.

It was Jessica's mum, Tina, who seemingly confirmed her daughter's unusual name choice. She captioned a picture of herself and her grandaughter Maxwell - thus letting the cat out of the bag - as follows: My oldest granddaughter #MaxiDrew and Gigi celebrating our baby Birdie! Beautiful day thank you @whambamevents @jessicasimpson for a magical day!" Fans were quick to offer their congratulations and share their thoughts about the name.

There's no denying that Jessica was on radiant form at the party - but one look back through her Instagram reveals that pregnancy is giving her more than just a rosy glow - the mom-to-be has been suffering from swollen feet. as she progresses through her third trimester. The singer even gave her own spin on the #10yearchallenge - comparing a photo of her painfully swollen foot to how her legs looked ten years ago.
