Former star of American TV show Grey’s Anatomy Katherine Heigl has thrown a baby shower for friend and current Grey’s star Ellen Pompeo.
Heigl honoured her friend with a lavish, star studied bash as her home in Los Feliz, Los Angeles last Saturday. They celebrated their pal’s journey into motherhood by inviting 25 friends, including their fellow Grey's Anatomy co-stars Kate Walsh and Sandra Oh, to the outdoor bash held under giant umbrellas in her backyard. The umbrellas were to shield the guests from the heat – L.A. temperatures reached a hot 104 degrees on Saturday. Pink flower arrangements and candles accented the tables.
Guests brought gifts wrapped in girly pink and yellow colours. 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.
Pompeo, who is expecting a daughter in October with husband Chris Ivery, was also joined by Rebecca Gayheart, the wife of her Grey's co-star Eric Dane. A guest said “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."
A few days ago Pompeo was spotted preparing for the event by sharing some special time with socialite Nicole Richie, who is also expecting.
Pompeo has not let her pregnancy slow her down. When not busy filming new episodes of Grey's Anatomy, she is also making sure that she keeps in shape with workout sessions at a local gym. In addition, she and Ivery are remodeling a new home. She knows how to keep her self busy!
