Steph Claire Smith shows of her growing baby bump as she shares an intimate look at her family holidays
Steph Claire Smith showed off her growing baby bump as she celebrated Christmas with her family.
Posting to Instagram on Friday, the Australian fitness influencer shared a look at her stomach as she held up her shirt and enjoyed a cup of tea.
The 30-year-old also cuddled up with her husband Josh Miller and their son as they took part in a relaxing outdoor celebration.
The family beamed and laughed together in the idyllic location, while Steph took some time for herself and applied eye patches.
“As a mother, I now realize how much my parents made Christmas magical for us growing up,” she wrote in her caption.
‘And the older Harvey gets, the more fun we have with it. “I’m so grateful for my family, I can’t believe there will be another one next year.”
Seph recently posted on Instagram on Tuesday to give her fans a life update.
In the first photo, Steph was seen in a pink one-piece swimsuit, which showed off her pregnant body.
Another showed her and husband Josh on a kid-free date night, while she also shared a video celebrating getting her nails done.
Meanwhile, the influencer also shared a photo from a previous workout at the gym, as she worked her biceps in a lavender activewear ensemble.
The mom-to-be also shared a photo of herself going for a fun run, proving that Steph isn’t letting her workout regimen slip.
The Australian fitness influencer announced her pregnancy last month.
Steph, who often features her three-year-old son Harvey in her social media posts, announced the news with a series of black and white photos on Instagram.
In the images, which were also shared by her husband Josh, Steph shows off her baby bump while wearing a skimpy bikini.
Son Harvey, husband Josh and the family dog are all gathered around Steph in the photos.
In another image, all members of the family placed their hands on her stomach.
Later, in a wider shot, the family is shown celebrating the new arrival in a park, with Steph wearing a straw cowboy hat.
Josh can also be seen in the foreground, smiling at the news wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, while their puppy licks Steph’s belly.
In the caption, the influencer wrote, “Harvey is going to be a big brother.”
The adorable photoshoot comes as the health and fitness influencer recently received backlash from her followers for taking her son Harvey to the gym.
Steph hit back at critics in early September when she came under fire for going to the gym with her toddler son Harvey.
She shared a video of herself at the gym with her son in tow, prompting mom-shaming trolls to criticize her for not going without Harvey again.
One follower commented: ‘If it was your day with him why did you have to go to the gym? Wouldn’t you like to do fun things with him?’
In a now-deleted TikTok post and Instagram reel, Steph clapped back at her critics, saying she “didn’t need anyone else’s judgement.”
She said angrily, “If it’s not your way of parenting, fine, but making this kind of judgment publicly is just so unnecessary.
“This comment was on my last roll of film, where I showed myself working out at the gym and taking Harvey with me for the first time.”
Steph also emphasized that making time to exercise is not a selfish act on a parent’s part and suggested that taking a toddler to the gym is a way to instill a healthy lifestyle.
