Savannah Guthrie is one glowing mama-to-be!

The Today show anchor celebrated her baby shower last week with an "Extra Extra: Read All About It!" newspaper-themed bash during which the expectant mother and her hubby, Mike Feldman, were feted by their nearest and dearest, including Guthrie's NBC co-workers.

Hosted by the ladies of Today, approximately two dozen guests flocked to The Glass Houses in Chelsea, NYC, where attendees decorated onesies and filled out a Savannah-themed pregnancy crossword (complete with a pencil inscribed with the words #ShowerSavannah).

Kathie Lee Gifford, Hoda Kotb, Jenna Bush Hager, Tamron Hall, Gayle King, Amy Robach, Jenna Wolfe, Cynthia McFadden, Deborah Roberts, Erica Hill, Dylan Dryer, Contessa Brewer, Bobbie Thomas and Jill Martin were all in attendance at the celebration in addition to both Guthrie's and Feldman's mothers.

Today executive producer Don Nash also made a surprise appearance, telling the couple to "prepare not to be disappointed" as they get ready for the impending arrival of their little one.

Guests brought two books to the shower—one for Savannah and to be donated to the charity Baby Buggy for a child in need—before noshing on tasty treats such as donuts, soft pretzels and blueberry smoothies.

The moms at the shower, including Erica Hill, Jenna Bush Hager and Jenna Wolfe, shared their advice for the soon-to-be first time parent, and clearly, Guthrie was overwhelmed by all the love.

"I have never felt in my life so much genuine joy for us but also from all of you," she said, holding back tears. "I kind of just can't get over it. Because when you say that you're happy for us and you give us a hug or you rub the belly, I know you really mean it. That means so much to me and to us. And we feel like God has just rained down blessings upon us. We are so thankful and just hope we can rise to the occasion and be good parents, and we'll be turning to all of you for your advice. So just, thank you, there's not one bit of it that we take for granted and it means so much to us."

Savannah's husband, whom she accidentally addressed as "Matt" during the shower (oops!), also shared a few kind words for his wife while thanking family and friends for their support.

"I'm grateful for my wife, because I've watched her over the past several months already turn into a mother and somebody I'm so unbelievably taken with and in love with for so many reasons…Now to watch her turn into this unbelievably strong and wonderful mother-to-be," he said. "I couldn't be happier and couldn't be more grateful, couldn't be more blessed. Thank you guys for all the love and support. I can't wait for you to meet our child."

Guthrie surprised guests at her wedding back in March when she announced that she was four months pregnant. This will be the first child for the journalist and her hubby.
