My husband, the singer and songwriter Shawn Mendes, are currently about four months away from our due date. Our first child, a girl, will be born in a few months, and I'm five months along. Shawn and I were sitting in the living room while watching television, Shawn's hand on my belly, when my phone rang. It was next to me and it was my best friend, Grace. As Shawn paused the show, I answered.

"Hey Grace." I said.

"Hey! How would you and Shawn feel if I threw you guys a baby shower?" She asked. I looked at Shawn.

"What do you think of Grace throwing us a baby shower?" I asked with a smile. He smiled and nodded.

"That would be cool." Shawn said.

"Grace we would love that!" I said.

"Great! Okay, we obviously need to pick a theme, and make a guest list. I've done some research, and you and Shawn should go online and make a baby registry of things that you guys want." She said. I nodded.

"Okay. When do you want to come over so we can set this up?" I asked.

"Well I'm free today." She said. I looked at Shawn.

"Mind if Grace comes over today and we can start planning the baby shower?" I asked.

"That's fine darling." He said.

"Come on over Grace!" I said. She laughed.

"Okay, I'll head out now." Grace said, and we hung up. I looked at Shawn.

"So we need to pick a theme, make a guest list, and we need to go online and make a baby registry of things that we want." I said. Shawn nodded.

"Okay. Well, since we're having a girl who's going to be our little princess, how about a princess theme?" Shawn asked. I nodded.

"Okay." I said. There was some paper in front of me, so I wrote that down.

"Here, let me write honey." Shawn said. He then took the paper and pencil.

"Okay. What about a guest list? And where would we have it?" I asked.

"Should we do what we did for our wedding and make the guest list first and then we'll decide on where to have it?" Shawn asked. I nodded.

"Yeah. Okay, so definitely our parents and siblings. Grace, obviously." I said. As we were still working on who to invite, the doorbell rang.

"I got it babe." Shawn said as he set down the piece of paper and pencil. He got up and opened the door.

"Hi!" Grace said. I stood up.

"Hi!" Shawn and I said. She came in and we all sat down.

"This is what you have for a guest list so far?" Grace asked as she looked at the paper. We nodded.

"Yup." Shawn and I said.

"And you want it princess themed?" Grace asked.

"Yup." Shawn and I said. She nodded and smiled.

"Okay. Are you guys all set with the guest list or no?" She asked. Shawn and I looked it over.

"Well I think that we wrote down all of the people that we really want there. Right?" I asked. Shawn nodded.

"Yeah." He said.

"Okay, how about we make a baby registry now?" Grace asked. We nodded.

"Okay. I don't even know what website to use for that." I said as I looked at Shawn.

"Well you don't have to worry about that because I found one. Just answer these questions, and then it'll suggest stuff." Grace said as she got out her laptop. Shawn and I answered the questions and then suggestions came up.

"Oh I like that - oh wait no, I don't like the price." I said.

"Don't worry about the price, this is so other people know what you guys want and can get it, not for you guys to get it." Grace said.

"Okay, but there are certain things that I think that want to be able to buy ourselves. Like, I don't want someone else buying the crib or the changing table." Shawn said and I nodded.

"Yeah. I really, really like that rocking chair though." I said.

"Okay." Grace said. Soon, everything was ready. The invitations had been sent out - everyone that we felt we really, really wanted to have there said that they would be there. It would be held at a place in Boston. It was the day of the baby shower, and I was seven and a half months pregnant and I wore a long floral dress that accentuated my growing bump. Shawn wore black dress pants and white button down. Almost everything that was on our registry list was purchased by someone, so we decided that not all of it is bought by the time that I'm eight months pregnant, we'll buy the rest.

"Hey pretty mama. You ready to go?" Shawn asked. I nodded.

"Yeah. Can I have a kiss first please?" I asked. Shawn smiled.

"Of course you can my love. Come here." He said. I put my lips on his and felt my heart race as if I had just run a marathon, I felt butterflies erupt and fly around in my tummy, and I felt sparks shoot through my body like fireworks. We soon pulled away, smiled at each other, and left for the baby shower. When we got in there, everybody else was already there. Shawn's family came up to us.

"Hello darlings! Oh look at you Y/n! You're rocking your pregnancy." Karen Mendes, my mother in law, said. I smiled.

"Thank you." I said.

"Doesn't she look absolutely gorgeous?" Shawn said as he smiled at me.

"She does. She's practically glowing." Karen said. Shawn and I then went around and greeted our guests. Shawn's band was there, and a lot of his team. Our families were there of course, and our closest friends as well. Gifts were given to us, we played games, it was wonderful. After nine months of being pregnant, I gave birth to Rose Lucille Mendes. Life with Shawn, and now Rose too, is wonderful.
