In just a few months Jessica Alba will be enjoying a baby shower of her own.

But yesterday was all about her cousin as the actress threw herself into preparing for the happy event.

Jessica prepared butterfly bunting and decorations for the party, posting a photo of her efforts on Facebook.

The 29-year-old asked her Twitter followers for inspiration as she got stuck into the planning.

She said: 'Working on solpoweryoga's bebe shower with Lauren Andersen. Got any good ideas for a lovely young yogi Mommy?

'We want a spiritual and ethereal vibe but still fun and interactive.'

Since announcing her pregnancy to the world online, Jessica has been spotted out and about in Los Angeles.

Yesterday she covered her tiny bump with a waterproof coat, as she dodged the rain showers in the city.

Jessica, who is already mother to two-year-old Honor, has made it clear she is looking forward to the birth of her second child later this year.
She is also busy caring for honor, her daughter with film producer Cash Warren.

Yesterday she tweeted: 'I think Honor might be done with naps...oh dear god! No more afternoons of productivity or rather tweeting, reading blogs and news on net.'

Her joy at watching Honor grow up is obvious, with another tweet reading: 'Me -"Honor why did you touch every button on the remote?... Now the tv is frozen." Honor "Are u happy? (smile)"'
