Jaime Ray Newman, star of ABC’s Red Widow, and her husband, Guy Nattiv, were showered with love by family and friends like Lindsay Price at their recent rooftop baby shower in West Hollywood. Planned by celebrity event guru, Renee Simlak, and hosted by DaddyScrubs, a line of “I’m The Daddy” gifts and apparel, the co-ed affair gave guests a chance to honor the welcoming of Jaime and Guy’s first child, a daughter due in August.
At the event, Jamie opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about her baby shower and how her pregnancy has been going. She also went on to talk about her upcoming projects and what she’s looking forward to the most in becoming a first-time mom.

CBS: What was your favorite part about the baby shower today?
JRN: “My favorite part was seeing all of my family and friends in one little venue. It was great to be surrounded by people who I haven’t seen in six moths…they can’t believe my belly! Our wedding was in Israel and we didn’t have an American wedding, so this kind of made up for our wedding, because it was a co-ed event. It was overwhelming and wonderful to see everyone in one place.”
CBS: How has the pregnancy been going?
JRN: “Thankfully, I’ve been feeling really good. Now I’m starting to slow down and my feet are getting a little tired, but up until now I’ve had a lot of energy and I’ve felt great! I love being pregnant.”
CBS: What are you looking forward to the most in becoming a mom?
JRN: “All of the endless nights of sleep I am going to get. [laughs] I am just excited to have something bigger than me and Guy out there. You get so self-involved and wrapped up in yourself, especially in our business, so it will be really nice to have something more significant than us.”
CBS: What’s the best advice you’ve gotten from your mom friends?
JRN: “Don’t be scared to take hand-me-downs. When someone is finished with one thing, say, ‘I’ll take it!’ Babies grow out of things so quickly.”

CBS: Do you have any baby names picked out yet?
JRN: “Yes, but I’m not saying anything! [laughs] You’ll know in six weeks. We’ve had the name picked out for a couple of years.”
CBS: How do you plan on balancing motherhood with your career and everything you have going on?
JRN: “There are many actresses who’ve done it beautifully before me, so I know I’ll be able to do it. Somehow I’ll work it out. My husband and I are starting to produce, so that will give us more freedom. People have kids and careers every single day.”
