Break out the pink balloons — Busy Philipps is having a second daughter!

“We’ve known for a long time now, I just haven’t had any reason to say it, but we’re having another girl. We’re really excited,” the Cougar Town star, 33, tells The Huffington Post.

But the actress and her husband Marc Silverstein aren’t the only ones ecstatic about the upcoming arrival of their second child. The couple’s daughter Birdie Leigh is taking her future role as big sister all in stride.

“My daughter is super excited. She’s actually incredibly helpful and … she’s really understanding things,” the mom-to-be says. “When I say like, ‘Mom can’t carry you right now because the baby in her tummy is pressing down on her bladder!’ She understands what that means and she’s cool with it.”

Eric Christian Olsen is used to solving mysteries, so it’s no surprise the actor has managed to crack the code to pampering his pregnant wife, Sarah Wright.

“Eric has been the most amazing husband,” the expectant actress told PEOPLE exclusively, after debuting her baby bump in a L’Agence gown Wednesday for the Kaleidoscope Ball in Beverly Hills.

“In my first three months he cooked me food, did all the laundry and cleaning while working 60 hours a week on the show!”

The doting dad-to-be, who isn’t shy about showing his feelings, has been making sure to give the baby belly plenty of love, too.

Grown Ups gone wild!

Promoting the sequel to their comedy franchise, which follows the friendships and families of best friends, costars Maya Rudolph, Salma Hayek, Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Kevin James and David Spade came together for an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Wednesday.

And after participating in possibly the first official “Ellen dog pile,” the attention turned to Rudolph’s burgeoning belly, with Ellen DeGeneres — who noted the actress often appears on her show while pregnant — asking how many children Rudolph and her partner Paul Thomas Anderson have.

“Like 16, 17 — I don’t know!” Rudolph, 40, jokes. “This will be number four. This is like a modern-day version of The Waltons at this point.”

Michael Bublé may be a smooth singer, but those steamy skills don’t seem to always transition into the bedroom.

When it came time to bring a baby into the mix, Bublé, 37, jokes he and wife Luisana Lopilato got right down to business.

“There was nothing sexy about it. My wife is so beautiful, but it wasn’t like that,” he says during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, airing Thursday.

“She was very, ‘You know what Mike, it’s nine o’clock on Tuesday night and we must do it now.’”

But while their team effort paid off — Bublé and Lopilato will welcome a son in August — the dad-to-be and the Argentine actress are at a standstill when it comes to their son’s name.

She may be a self-proclaimed girly-girl but at her Los Angeles baby shower Sunday, Jessica Simpson couldn’t help but gush over gifts she opened up for her baby boy.

“I’m so excited to have a son,” Simpson, 32, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “He got all these cute vintage cars and I got a lot of little leather jackets I can’t wait to try out!”

The Fashion Star mentor’s 11-month-old daughter Maxwell Drew got excited too. “She was taking over some of her little brother’s gifts!” says Simpson.

Toni Braxton just wants her sister Tamar to put her best foot forward during her pregnancy. Literally.

The mother-of-two‘s advice to the mom-to-be: “Stay off of my feet as much as possible,” the expectant Braxton told PEOPLE at Saturday’s NewNowNext Awards. “She has tried to get me in flats. I refuse. I’m like, ‘No.’”

Pregnancy has been a family affair from the start, and she previously told PEOPLE, “My sisters are making me feel more maternal because they’re crazy. They’re giving me advice on how to be a mother and be pregnant.”

(This is the first child for Braxton and her husband Vince Herbert.)

For now, the Tamar & Vince star, 36, is remaining coy about the sex of her baby. “You’ll find out at the end of the summer,” she nods.

It’s a very special year for Kevin Richardson, who has yet another reason to celebrate: He’s going to be a dad again.

“So excited to share… The Easter Bunny brought a very special egg this year,” the Backstreet Boys bandmate, 41, wrote on Twitter, posting a photo of his wife Kristin displaying her growing baby bump.

This will be the second child for the couple, who welcomed son Mason, now 5½, in July 2007.

Richardson is also celebrating his band’s 20th anniversary together with a special concert on April 20.

This will be the third Backstreet baby in the past year — Howie Dorough welcomed son Holden in February while A.J. McLean welcomed daughter Ava in November.

Mom Said It

"I had to make a decision that I could sleep with every night. I did feel responsible for the young girls who I probably confused and let down. I apologize for that. But I wasn't trying to glamorize teen pregnancy."
