Carrie and her partner Chris at the Australian open in late January.
Although Carrie has been spotted out and about showing off her bump, she said the pregnancy has been tough on her.
“I was really really really sick so now I’m in the homeward stretch. Actually the hard part is to come,” she previously told Sydney Confidential.
“I have been so much sicker this pregnancy.”
That didn’t stop her from stepping out to the tennis recently though to watch the Australian Open with partner Chris.
Wishing Carrie and Chris many congratulations on their happy new arrival!
