Jessica Simpson has revealed to Hello! magazine that she has put on a bountiful 40 pounds during her pregnancy.

Jessica Simpson, 31, told Hello! magazine in their latest issue that she has been pleased to take time off dieting.

“I had a great pregnancy. Eating and not having to worry too much about it has been fun,” Jessica Simpson said.

“Taking a break from working out has definitely been fun. But I’m ready for it to be over. I’m ready to have my body back!”

Jessica Simpson, who appears to have been pregnant for much longer than her three trimesters, told the magazine that she can’t wait to deliver her unborn son or daughter.

“I feel like I could pop at any second,” Jessica Simpson said.

Jessica Simpson recently celebrated her impending motherhood with a baby shower at her Los Angeles home.

She told Hello! magazine that the bash, which was attended by the likes of Jessica Alba and her sister Ashlee Simpson, had a Charlotte’s Web theme.

The E.B. White book was Jessica Simpson’s favorite fictional story growing up.

During the celebrations, the woman played games and enjoyed several activities including guessing the size of Jessica Simpson’s bump and knitting lessons.

The get together wasn’t just for adults only: the guest list also had the who’s who of celebrity offsprings.

Jessica Alba brought her daughter, Haven, seven months, and Ashlee Simpson brought her son Bronx, three.

Following the party, Jessica Simpson opened her lavish gifts with fiancé Eric Johnson.

“Eric is going to be an unbelievable dad,” Jessica Simpson told Hello!.

“I can’t wait to see if he can master ponytails and braids!”
