Kaley Cuoco is celebrating baby #2 with a big bang, so to speak!
The actress, 40, took to social media to share some glimpses from her baby shower over the weekend, which she hosted at her beautiful and expansive 40-acre ranch.

For her baby shower, though, the space got a stunning makeover, which by the looks of it, was all Mexican fiesta themed. The décor Kaley showcased on her social media included colorful posters and streamers that featured maracas, sombreros, cacti, and tacos.

Kaley herself wore a bump-hugging red maxi dress with a high-low skirt and an asymmetrical pleated hemline, featuring floral knit patterns, paired with gold chains and her dark locks tied up.

As for guests, some of the attendees included The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful star Ashley Jones, Halloweentown star Kimberly J. Brown, Kaley's 8 Simple Rules co-star Amy Davidson, Lacey Chabert, and Kaley's sister and fellow actress Briana Cuoco.

The ranch is an extremely special setting for Kaley for the shower, one that she has turned into an animal rescue and sanctuary over the years. She also raises Thoroughbred horses in the stables, and has dabbled in competitive show jumping in the past as well.
"Obviously I rescue dogs, and everyone knows that about me, but I've really expanded to farm animals and even Thoroughbreds and horses off the track," the The Big Bang Theory star told People. "Really anything with four legs is welcome here. We don't turn anyone away. It's become this magical place."

"But no matter if she ends up riding or not, it's a great place for a kid to learn responsibility, having chores, taking care of the animals and seeing how they live together," she said, especially noting the fact that the space is a refuge away from technology and the busy Hollywood life.
"I come out here, and there's no phone. The animals are all running up to you. It feels like an honor to have this space."
