Three is a lucky number, right? It looks that way for Jessica Simpson, who is expecting a new baby girl with husband Eric Johnson. The pregnant star has revealed the name of the newest member of the family: Birdie. She shared the name with Entertainment Tonight, confession she found it to be “so sweet” and also that it’s a family name.
A Shower For Her Third-Born
After a much-publicized marriage and then divorce from singer Nick Lachey, Jessica Simpson—the 38-year-old singer and fashion mogul— married Eric Johnson, a former NFL player, in 2012. She is already a mother to six-year-old Maxwell and Ace, who is five.

Simpson revealed the sex of the baby in a sweet Instagram post with Maxwell and Ace holding pink balloons. Over the weekend, she celebrated her upcoming bundle of joy with a baby shower in her backyard. The theme? Birdie’s Nest. (Okay, okay, it’s all coming together, now.)
Nesting
Stephanie Terblanche from @WhamBamEvent planned the shower, which included beautiful decorations inspired by a bird’s nest. Simpson herself was decked out in a white dress designed by Trista Smith, and a rose gold crown complimenting the natural theme.

In attendance were Simpson’s close friends, including her sister Ashlee, and Ashlee’s three-year-old daughter, Jagger. Maxwell was there, and though husband Johnson and son Ace participated in a little bro-bonding during the main event, they made an appearance at the end of the shower.
#TenYearChallenge
Simpson has always connected to fans through her down-to-earth sense of humor. Apparently, the third pregnancy has not been the easiest ride.

In a response to the viral #10YearChallenge, Simpson posted a photo of her toned legs in denim cut-offs for her role of Daisy in the Dukes of Hazard next to a close-up of a swollen ankle and foot from her pregnancy. Don’t worry, Jessica. It’s not like things will be a piece of cake after Birdie arrives, but you may be able to fit into shoes again.
