She told fans: "I’ve been carrying my 2nd baby girl for 39 weeks just waiting for her arrival … it’s been a different experience as I’ve had my hands full with my baby girl @babylarose.x and just been different situation in all.
"But I’m waiting now for this baby girl to arrive , which I will shower with love, kindness strength & all my time and affection a mothers love .. I don’t want to be anywhere else apart from with my baby girls.
"I’ve cried a lot tonight I’ve spent every minute with Larose as it’s not going to be just me & her anymore but it’s another new chapter of my life .. time goes quickly make the most of it .. reason for the deep caption."
She continued: "I’m having my reflexology tomorrow with the lovely @lrussellreflex to make my waters break how I did with Larose ( not saying it’s def going work as again different situation) and I feel scared excited nervous all thoughts going around my head but I can’t wait to have my baby girl in my arms I’ve waited so long for her to arrive and to give Larose the best gift a baby sister for life ..
"Just over 11 months between them & they call 2 babies under 1 #irishtwins ( which is where ever I go and see they say the same thing to me and I’ve never heard the expression so it’s not to be offensive I thought sounded quite spiritual)," the reality TV star added.
