Hilary Swank shows off sweet baby bump in festive snap ahead of her twins' arrival

Hilary Swank has shown off her growing baby bump in a cute festive snap as she prepares to welcome twins into the world.

The pregnant Hollywood star, 48, is eagerly awaiting the arrival of her first children with her husband Philip Schneider. And she posed for the sweet snap over the weekend as she finished decorating her Christmas tree at home in Colorado.

Hilary shared the picture with her 1.2 million Instagram followers and captioned it with a slight tweak of a famous seasonal song, writing: " All I want for Christmas is yoooouuus, ohhhhhhh baby(s)."

The image showed the actress with a beaming smile as she wore all-black clothes with a pair of cosy brown slippers. Her side portrait perfectly showed off her bump.

Her two fur babies were included in the snap as she placed a bauble on the lit-up tree.

Fans and famous faces were quick to share their appreciation in the comment section, with Sharon Stone among them, simply writing: "Yay," alongside an emoji with love heart eyes.

Hilary first announced her pregnancy two months ago when she appeared on Good Morning America.

She told the morning show's presenters: "This is something I've been wanting for a long time—I'm gonna be a mom. And not just of one, but of two. I can't believe it."

She also took to Instagram to share the news at the time, hugging her stomach and saying: "Coming soon…DOUBLE feature!"

While she hasn't confirmed the sex of the babies, she has confirmed their due date, telling Drew Barrymore they were set to arrive around her late father's birthday on April 16.

Hilary had been her dad's sole carer for several years before his death after he became the recipient of a lung transplant.

While she previously claimed her career was put before her dreams of motherhood, she revealed in 2006 her desire for kids one day.

At the time she was married to her first husband Chad Lowe - they split in 2007.

She told PEOPLE at the time: "I definitely would like kids someday. That’s definitely something that I’ve always thought about as a very, very young girl."
