‘My darling, the best baby shower,’ she wrote.
The Perth-born star shocked her social media followers in January when she confirmed she was pregnant with her third child.
The former Home and Away star revealed her bump in a baggy sweater while she embraced her young son.
George also showed off her burgeoning belly in a second image as she posed in a white dress and looked out of a window.

Melissa shares her sons, Raphaël, nine, and Solal, seven, with her ex-partner Jean-David Blanc, a French entrepreneur.
Due to a custody arrangement, their children can’t leave France with their mother without their father’s consent, which means she is now based in Paris.
Notoriously private Melissa hasn’t revealed if she is in a relationship or who the father of her baby is.
She was previously married to Chilean furniture designer and film director Claudio Dabed from 2000 to 2011.
