The countdown to Blake Lively [1] and Ryan Reynolds [2]'s first baby is ticking, and Blake isn't wasting any time before their bundle of joy arrives. On Saturday, the actress went shopping at ABC Carpet & Home in NYC. The outing comes just one day after she stopped by Giggle children's boutique [3] to stock her nursery closet. The mom-to-be was covered up in a coat and patterned skirt, which she paired with orange knee-high boots.

It's not the first time Blake has shown off her baby bump since sharing her exciting pregnancy news [4] on her lifestyle and shopping website, Preserve, in early October. Earlier this week, the actress flaunted her figure on the red carpet [5] at the Golden Heart Awards, where she opened up about her enthusiasm about becoming a mom [6]. "It's something that I've always wanted ever since I was a little girl," she told Us Weekly. "I never knew what I wanted to do for a living, but I knew I wanted to have a lot of kids because I had come from a big family, so it was always important to me. So it's just the excitement of that finally being here." Despite reports about her pregnancy cravings [7] — which supposedly include "organic hand-churned pumpkin-flavored ice cream and small-batch pickles" — Blake told Us she has not yet reached that point [8].
