Shakira, who is expecting her first child,  is absolutely stunning as she awaits the birth of her baby boy. As many first time mothers do, she is having a baby shower to ready for the birth, but instead of the usual pregnancy games and punch she and her soccer-star boyfriend Gerard Pique have decided to team up with UNICEF to a host a virtual baby shower in order to help others.  As part of the promotion for their cause, Shakira posed with her bare baby bump and Pique in a gorgeous photo shoot. "Thank you for sharing this unforgettable moment with us."

"To celebrate the arrival of our first child, we hope that, in his name, other less privileged children in the world can have their basic needs covered through gifts and donations," says the shower invitation from Shakira, 35, and Pique, 25.

Fans can join the couple's online baby shower by visiting their virtual living room. They can then purchase an "Inspired Gift," which are life-saving items distributed to children in need. The Voice mentor's fans can buy a $5 mosquito net, $10 polio vaccine, $37 baby-weighing scale or $110 Therapeutic Food that helps malnourished children.

After purchasing a gift, donors will receive a personal thank you message from Shakira and Pique. 

"Every expectant parent around the world shares all the same hopes and dreams for their children that we do," Shakira,says. "Yet many don’t share the same opportunities. Together we know we can change that."

Pregnancy absolutely agrees with her, talk about glowing!  I love this Unicef baby shower idea and just donated to it.
