Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes are having a baby girl.
The Hollywood
couple are busy decorating a nursery for their unborn tot and spent $20,000 on
bedding and furniture suitable for a daughter during a massive shopping spree,
giving away the sex of the child.
Heavily pregnant Holmes took delivery of her haul from Petit Tresor, a trendy
boutique in Los Angeles.
The store's co-owner Samantha Winch told America's Access Hollywood website:
"It's very easy to rack up an expensive bill especially when you are as excited
like Katie is and it's your first baby."
Among the items chosen by Cruise and Holmes, were wallpaper featuring classic
nursery rhymes, a $178 nappy bag, a stuffed elephant, and a faux-mink teddy bear
complete with several items of designer clothing, including a $155 shawl.
The shop's other owner Nina Takesh said: "The bear was adored by Katie and
Tom. And Katie can't stop squeezing the elephant."
The couple's first child is expected this month and will allegedly be born in
complete silence in accordance with the rules of the Church of Scientology, of
which Cruise is a devoted follower.
