Kendra Wilkinson Shows Off Her Baby Bump On Magazine Cover

October 22, 2009 : Pregnant former Playboy Playmate KENDRA WILKINSON is showing off her bulging bikini body on the cover of the new issue of U.S. weekly magazine In Touch, and confessing she's piled on 40 pounds (18.1 kilograms).

The newlywed admits she's beginning to struggle with her extra weight and is suffering hip pain and swollen hands and feet - and she still has two months to go before she gives birth to her first baby with sports star husband Hank Baskett.

But there are plenty of things she loves about being pregnant.

She explains, 'I love that my hips are growing, even though it hurts. I want that butt and am starting to get it, so I’m excited.

'I’ve been eating a lot of breakfast - eggs, bacon and cheese sandwiches with wheat toast, a lot of waffles with peanut butter. Peanut butter is my biggest craving. I actually put bananas and syrup all over it, too.

'Even though I don’t usually eat much meat, I’ve been eating a lot of ribs with barbecue sauce and steak. Also, my craving for chocolate came back. I never ate it before because it gave me migraines.

'I have never felt this beautiful! The one thing I love about being pregnant is my skin, I used to have the worst acne. My whole life it’s been horrible... This is the best skin that I have ever had in my life!

'The greatest thing (about being pregnant) is probably just feeling like a queen. Everybody does everything for me.'

Wilkinson, who is Playboy boss Hugh Hefner's ex-girlfriend, is due to give birth in December (09).
