Blake Lively Is a Glowing Mom-to-Be in Her New Baby Bump Pictures

Blake Lively lights up with an infectious smile while holding her baby bump in a post on the actress's website, Preserve. Blake shared several sweet moments and a message about her pregnancy joy on Friday, writing, "With a new baby on the way there is so much to do!" What exactly is on her to-do list as her pregnancy progresses? "But before experiencing the joy of 3am screams, seemingly impossible amounts of poop and having a favorite shirt covered in reflux… there are presents to open, onesies to dye, there is cake to serve, advice to be shared and all around celebration to be had," she wrote. In the accompanying pictures, Blake clues us in on her idea of an outdoors Fall party, which includes time with loved ones, sweet treats, and a Pinterest-worthy table setting.

Blake told the world about her and husband Ryan Reynolds's exciting baby news on Monday, debuting her baby bump in a picture she posted on her website. It didn't come as a complete surprise, though, since the actress has been vocal about her desire to become a mother in the past few months. "I've always wanted a big family. . . . Oh, I'd love 30 [children] if I could," she told Allure in an interview for its September issue.
