Christensen, 35, gushed that her daughter Shane, 2, is excited to meet “her” in a few months. “Hopefully, the little one will learn a lot from her sister,” the actress told Us Weekly at the event. “My mom got her a t-shirt that says big sister. So she seems to grasp that there’s a baby in here, and she’s going to be a big sister. And she’s given the belly some kisses and stuff.”

Christensen announced last month that she and her husband, Cole Maness, are gearing up for baby No. 2.

“I feel like the body was equalizing all the hormones and everything, and I’m kind of over that hump and into just more of like, I’m a person with a belly now,” she added to Us. “I also haven’t challenged myself particularly. Last time, I did a lot of big adventurous hikes and things, and I think I ought to get back into that. I think I was a little fitter the last time.”

As for recent cravings she’s been having? Salty goods like olives and cheese!
