The star, wearing a grey vest top and pink leggings, picks up eldest daughter Violet in the sweet clip.
She wrote: "I remember when I was 5 months pregnant with Violet and my stomach’s was flat as a pancake. Crazy how quickly it pops after the first one.
"Maybe our body’s just sort of know what’s up after the first round so just gets to the point quicker. It could just be all the cakes I have been eating to be fair.

How does adoption work?
In the UK, there is lengthy process involved with adopting a child and it can take up to six months for the paperwork to be finalised.
To even be considered, you have to meet the following criteria:
- You must be over 21
- You must be a legal resident of the UK for at least 12 months.
- No criminal convictions - especially any related to the endangerment of children. This applies to everyone your household.
You will also have to go through an inital background check and assesment, which will consider whether you are the right fit for adoption.
Potenital parents will also have undergo training and a process to match them with the right child.
