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.

The star owns a ranch home in Thousand Oaks, California, just north of Los Angeles, one she'd purchased back in 2018. The ranch has since become not only a home she shares with fiancé Tom Pelphrey and their daughter Matilda, but also many of their pets and rescues as a shelter.

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.

Tacos, in fact, were the defining theme of the event by the looks of it, with many taco stickers emblazoned throughout the horse stables, one guest in a taco-covered dress, and even tote bags and shopping stalls for attendees with tote bags, also covered in 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.

At one point, Kaley and Tom's daughter, three-year-old Matilda, also joined the festivities, perfectly matching with her mom in another sleeveless dress with a colorful floral appliqué, although hers was white.

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.

Tom, 44, later shared a selfie with his fiancée from the event, captioning it: "HOT MOM." Kaley quipped in response: "Mom and Dad x 2!!!! Love u!!!!"

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."

Matilda, in particular, has become one of the ranch's biggest fans. "I've introduced her to every single horse. She has a pony here that is waiting for her when she is big enough to ride," Kaley gushed.

"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."
