    The expectant mum also spilled the beans on her growing appetite now that she's eating for two, joking: 'I'm always feeling like I'd like to eat everything in sight!'

    Multiple sources have confirmed Reese's pregnancy back in March, with one telling US Weekly: 'Reese and Jim have been trying to get pregnant. Reese is right around 12 weeks but is not planning to announce it.'

    Reese, 36, already has two children, Ava, 12, and Deacon, eight, from her first marriage to actor Ryan Phillippe. Congats to the happy family!
