Love didn't come as expected for The Bachelor couple Molly and Jason Mesnick.

Love didn't come as expected for The Bachelor couple Molly and Jason Mesnick. Though the season 13 couple didn't originally end up together when the season ended, their relationship is stronger now than ever before. After three years of marriage (and a wedding that was televised for all to see), Molly is expecting her first child in March, making Jason's son Ty, 7, a big brother for the first time.

Though Molly didn't want a "traditional" baby shower, over the weekend her sister-in-law Leslie Mesnick thew her a baby party filled with on-theme sweets from one of our favorite West Coast bakers, Jenny Keller from Jenny Cookies, creative paper goods from Minted's new party suite offerings, fun games, and sexy favors for her guests.

Keep reading for all of the stylish details from Molly's shower, where red roses were replaced by the more baby-friendly yellow kind.
