Bindi Irwin, who’s expecting her first child with husband Chandler Powell next year, has treated fans to the latest picture of her growing baby bump.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday morning, the 22-year-old shared the new photo, revealing she’s now at the end of her second trimester and is 26 weeks pregnant. The mother-to-be looked overjoyed in the snap, where she is cradling her unborn baby girl.

“I thought I’d share a bump date with you,” Bindi captioned the post. “Thank you for your lovely comments and support on this remarkable journey. Now that I’m 26 weeks pregnant, our daughter is about the same size as a shingleback lizard. Swipe across to meet Pinecone the shingleback lizard, who I think is really excited about that.”

Many of Bindi’s fans were quick to comment on the photo, with one writing, “You look beautiful.” Another added, “Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy before your baby comes.” While a third wrote, “Aww [you] look so beautiful.”

Bindi has been open about her pregnancy since she first announced the news publicly in August.

In September, the young wildlife warrior took to Instagram to reveal the baby’s gender. Bindi uploaded a photo of her and Chandler holding up a large ultrasound scan, with the caption, “Baby girl, you are our world. Our beautiful daughter is now about the same size as a hatchling Aldabra tortoise and is as healthy as can be. We can’t wait for her arrival next year.”

At the time, fans of the couple showed their support, with one writing, “Aww, congratulations on a little girl. Your dad would be so excited.”
