First, the Duchess of Cambridge got us all aflutter with her news of a royal baby arriving this summer, then Kanye West sent the blogosphere into a tizzy with his announcement that he's expecting a wee one with Kim Kardashian. And just Monday, Fergie and Josh Duhamel announced they're expecting, too. Beefcake Channing Tatum and his wife (yes, ladies, he's married), Jessica Simpson and Jenna Bush Hager are just a few of the other celebrities expecting to add to their well-appointed nests this year, too. Baby fever seems to be catching, so we rounded up some pretty and pamper-worthy items for all you expectant moms.
