The media maven glowed in earnest at her baby shower this week.

After revealing that she’s expecting her first child on Saturday Night Live in December, Palmer recently confirmed that she and partner Darius Jackson are set to welcome a baby boy.

In continuing to celebrate her pregnancy journey, the 29-year-old has shared snaps from her youngster’s pre-arrival event.
