“We couldn’t wish for a more incredible miracle ✨ So grateful for these two gifts of a lifetime!! 🎁🎁,” Swank, 48, captioned the picture of herself in front of the Christmas tree. The actress was seen wearing a red and white striped one see as she was holding her stomach to further enhance the bump.
Double the Trouble!
“Merry Christmas Everyone!! Wishing you all miracles in your own lives in whatever forms they take,” the star added with the hashtags “#MerryChristmas” and “#Miracles.”
Several celebrities went on to congratulate the mom-to-be, with Will and Grace star Debra Messing writing, “Mama!!!!!”
Selam Blair went on to comment, “So happy for you!!! Cutest little elves,” while Lindsay Lohan wished her a Merry Christmas.
Swank had previously announced her pregnancy on Good Morning America back in October sharing that she and husband Philip Schneider would officially be on double duty. “This is something that I’ve been wanting for a long time and my next thing is I’m gonna be a mom,” said the Daily Alaskan star. “And not just of one, but of two. I can’t believe it.”
She also went to post an Instagram photo pointing to her bump that same day writing “Coming soon … DOUBLE feature! 👼🏼👼🏼.”

She went on to explain to Extra in October that she decided to wait to start a family even though she thought about it when she was very young. “I was having a career and just not having the right relationship until five years ago now, four years ago now, and just you know all the elements needed to come together and be right,” Swank stated.
The actress went on to say that her babies are due on a special day for her, revealing to Drew Barrymore the connection it had with her father. “You just announced that your father passed away one year ago and this miracle is happening,” Barrymore stated.
“Yeah and they are due on his birthday,” the mom-to-be replied. “Yeah, I know,” Swank stated.
Swank commemorated the one-year anniversary of her father’s death four days before she shared the pregnancy news with her fans. “I can’t believe it’s been a year since you’ve transitioned,” she captioned an Instagram post. “You are missed beyond measure and forever in my heart ♥️.”
