As she counts down to her October 4th due date, actress Marisol Nichols celebrated her upcoming arrival with a baby shower held on Saturday at her new North Hollywood home. Hosted by a number of close friends, guests, including 24 costar and new mom Mary Lynn Rajskub, feasted on classic BBQ food -- cheeseburgers, hot dogs, chips, chili, potato salad, and fresh watermelon. However, the main attraction was the cake: six large letter blocks that spelled out "GIRL BABY." Cake artist Dorie Kinney made each block a different flavor: chocolate with fudge filling and tiny chocolate chips, white cake with raspberries, white cake with apricot white chocolate mousse, lemon cake with lemon curd, almond cake with peach amaretto filling and marble cake with white chocolate mousse. Yum!
While Marisol greeted her guests, those who had already arrived participated in guessing games, including how many inches her belly is around, and what the baby's weight and length will be once she arrives. Husband Taron Lexton and Marisol, who started with five names for their daughter, have narrowed them down to two -- but she won't share! "We're going to wait till we meet her and go, 'There we go! That's the name,'" Marisol explains. "I've already sort of felt a personality there. She'll tell me certain things, like [to] sit down if I'm moving too much. She'll kick and it'll hurt and I'll sit down."
With about seven weeks left in the pregnancy, Marisol admits that she's starting to panic. "A little bit of panic mixed in with a lot of planning and a lot of getting ready. It's literally an instant switch from single life to parenthood. I love it though." She laughs, "I'm really glad they give you nine months to get ready!" Still, the 36-year-old actress feels prepared to welcome her little girl. She tells PEOPLE,
To meet her, that's all we want. I can't wait to meet her in person.
