Hilaria Baldwin flaunted her baby bump in a maternity photoshoot amid saying she makes "self-deprecating jokes" in response to questions about her growing brood.
The yoga instructor, 38, is expecting her seventh child with husband Alec Baldwin, 64 - who will become a father-of-eight as he has a child from his previous marriage too.
They are set to welcome their new arrival later this year and Hilaria has provided pregnancy updates on Instagram, such as confirming they are due to have another daughter.
She has now expressed gratitude over being a mother, despite its challenges, alongside photos from a maternity shoot which have showcased her blossoming baby bump.
She shared black and white photos of herself showing off the bump on Instagram earlier, including one which showed her cradling it with her silhouette on full display.
Hilaria accompanied the photos - which were taken by photographer Abbey Drucker - with a caption that expressed her feelings on expanding her brood.
She wrote: "7th baby: when people ask or comment, we often go to silly and very self-deprecating jokes on my part. I love to laugh at myself so it's all good. Keeps me sane."

She continued: "All jokes aside, however, I am grateful for this experience." Hilaria - who has been open about having suffered miscarriages in the past - said: "I know too well the joys and losses, the beauty and the heartache, that motherhood brings.
"I've learned to respect and embrace the wonderful, the hard, the uncomfortable, the magical and the unknown of this incredible process [that] I'm so blessed to experience again and again".
It had been announced earlier this year that the couple - who have been married since 2012 - were expecting their seventh child, whose due date is said to approaching.
Hilaria shared the news alongside a video of the family on Instagram in March, with her writing in an accompanying caption that the new arrival is a "blessing" and a "gift".
She wrote in her post at the time: "After many ups and downs over the past few years we have an exciting up and a huge surprise: another Baldwinito is coming this fall."
"We were pretty sure our family was complete and we're beyond happy with this surprise," she continued, before describing the baby as a "very bright spot" in their lives.
