shared beautiful snaps on from a pregnancy shoot at the beach, as she held her 5-year-old daughter, Decker, while wading in the ocean.
The two also posed together lying on the beach.
The star captioned the shots: "Pregnancy after loss is no walk in the park. Decker, Kyle and I each carried our own worries and we worked through it with the help of a loving (and very very small) village. It was a private struggle, and a private joy.
"We dared to be happy for this pregnancy and this little blessing. It was really hard, but we were really brave. Right after Vaughn was born, @kyleboz’s first words were “We did it, baby, we did it.” I’ll never forget how proud he looked. And how relieved.
"I didn’t realize that he must have been holding his breath for 8 months and finally felt like he could exhale. That’s what this little boy is to us… our exhale."
Previously, Kara announced she gave birth to son Vaughn one year after losing her newborn baby, McCoy.
The TV star's new little one was born on March 31.
She captioned a series of sweet photos of her newborn: "The day McCoy was born, I started writing a story. Our story. I don’t typically like to spoil the ending, but in this case the ending is a new beginning.
"Introducing Decker and McCoy’s baby brother: Vaughn Mack Bosworth. Measuring at 20.5 inches and weighing 7 pounds 6 ounces of heaven-sent sweetness.
"Born on 3.31.21 in Room 11, 6 days before what should have been his big brother’s 1st birthday. His name means 'small/little' and 'hope.'"
She ended the caption: "It’s not lost on us that if we hadn’t lost Mack, we’d never know Vaughn. And yet, here he is, an unexpected serendipity. A little hope."
On Easter Sunday, Kara announced she was expecting again sharing a picture of an Easter basket with a bunny inside and a baby onesie with a rainbow painted on it.
She wrote on Instagram: "For Christians, for Jews, and for me, this time is a reminder of the death of firstborn sons. Sacrifice. Suffering. Mourning. Grief. Why is this night different than other nights? Last Easter was the worst night of my life. We held our firstborn son in our arms as he took his final breaths. We spent time in the hell that is watching your child die.
"This Easter is decidedly better. Despite that wretched Easter night, I can’t ignore that this day also represents rebirth. Renewed hope. It is said that the word 'Easter' is derived from the goddess Eostre. Eostre, the goddess of fertility, symbolizes the birth of new life and the dawn of spring. And so it is for us."
She concluded: "New life, the dawn of something beautiful and restorative. Quite literally rising from the ground. We miss you, Mack-a-doodle. Thank you for sending us this sacred gift. You’re a big brother! Tell Grandpa that I said he was right. He’ll know what I mean."
In January, Kara shared a beautiful flower garden in memory of her late son McCoy.
