Carrie explained: ‘On The Project the desk comes right across my belly and I’ve slowly been lowering the chair a tiny bit.
‘And it’s funny because the floor staff keep saying “can you guys (the other presenters) lower your chair? I don’t know what’s happening but you’re so out of whack height wise with Carrie.”‘
She joked: ‘I’m there thinking, “Everyone knows that I’m going down, down, down as the weeks go on!” I thought soon it’ll just be my little head above the desk!’
The mother-of-two finally revealed a peek of her growing baby bump in an Instagram video taken of her celebrating the happy news with her colleagues at the Hit Network radio studios.

Attending the 2015 Logies with Chris, she dedicated her Gold Logie acceptance speech to her late husband, speaking about his battle with brain cancer.

She also promoted her charity ‘Carrie’s Beanies 4 Brain Cancer’ during the speech.
As of May this year, the blonde beauty has raised $4.5 million for brain cancer research from the sales of the beanies.

Carrie just recently gushed over her partner Chris in a column for Stellar Magazine.
‘He works hard, is hands-on with the kids, isn’t scared to cook (if you like sweet chilli sauce on everything), and will happily do the washing (he may accidentally machine wash your delicates) but, point is, he isn’t afraid to dig in,’ she wrote.
Despite the pair not being married, she said she calls his mother her ‘mother-in-law’, and praised her for becoming her ‘savior’ over the past few years.
‘She pops round with mountains of meals, will hang up the washing and looks after the kids. I can’t imagine what I would do without her,’ Carrie stated.
Carrie is yet to reveal how far along in her pregnancy she is with her third child. Daily Mail Australia has reached out for comment.
