Treat yourself like a queen, Jaime King!

Shortly after the Hart of Dixie actress announced that she is pregnant and expecting her second child with husband Kyle Newman, the 35-year-old CW TV star was photographed leaving Pressed Juicery in L.A. Thursday. King, whose baby bump is not yet visible, wore a denim top, a pencil skirt and sunglasses.

King and Newman announced that their son, James Knight, is going to be a big brother via Instagram. The couple, who wed in 2007, also used social media to announce their baby boy's birth on Oct. 6, 2013.

News of King's pregnancy is especially exciting, as the former model opened up over the summer about her struggle with infertility, which included five miscarriages, five rounds of in vitro fertilization and 26 rounds of intrauterine insemination. To her surprise, the Sin City star conceived her firstborn naturally.

"When I got pregnant it was the best thing in the whole world. I had never felt so grateful, happy and elated," she told People. King had a difficult pregnancy and was in labor for 26 hours. Six weeks after giving birth, while struggling with postpartum depression, she returned to the set of Hart of Dixie. "The baby was with me, but my husband was [working]. I was basically by myself. Having to go back to work was very traumatic because I was still breastfeeding and up every two hours. I felt this major pressure."

When her Hart of Dixie co-star Rachel Bilson was pregnant with daughter Briar Rose last year, King was the first person to offer support. "I tell her everything because she and I are very, very close. Rachel and my son have had a love affair from the very, very beginning—since he first met her. Rachel has always been one of the most supportive people in my life in regards to my pregnancy," the actress told E! News in October. Recalling her own experience of working while pregnant, King continued, "I had to get IV fluids because it was so hot when I was shooting in Burbank, but I never wanted that to happen to her."

"I was always super, super, super protective of her and her child," King told E! News.
