They say every pregnancy is different and Ginnifer Goodwin knows that all too well.

As the Zootopia star eagerly waits to welcome her second child with husband Josh Dallas, fans are learning more about the family's dynamic before another member is introduced.

On Wednesday's all-new episode of The Talk, co-host Sheryl Underwood had to ask if her son Oliver is excited to be a big brother. The answer may just surprise you in the best way possible.

"He's excited. But then if you ask him are you a unicorn, he will say yes," she shared with the audience. "We think he gets the concept. He lifts up my shirt every single morning and says, ‘Hi baby. I love you baby.'"

She added, "We told him [the baby] can hear you." Awww!

When it comes to Ginnifer's daily routine, the actress also notices a difference during her second journey to motherhood. When expecting her first child, the Disney lover admits to always treating herself. This time, however, is much more chill.

"I feel like the first time, we were very self-indulgent. I would yawn and say I obviously need a prenatal massage," she joked to Sharon Osbourne. "Nothing that touched me that wasn't certified organic. This time, I would be like oh, right, I'm pregnant. Oh, have I had broccoli today? I should probably take care of me in that way."

She continued, "So it's definitely—I hope this kid feels like it's not second child syndrome as much as that he's chill."

With a new movie and a hit TV show, some moms may ask themselves: How does Ginnifer manage to do it all and not get completely exhausted? As it turns out, she's the first to admit that she's "spoiled" when it comes to her team on Once Upon a Time.

"It should be more exhausting than it is because you're working 14 to 18 hours a day. And certainly, our doctors are like what are you mean you're not lounging?" she explained. "But they actually do put me in a situation where because I'm spoiled rotten on my show, they carry around the lounge chair and things like that. The crew really does. They carried around this big leather arm chair through the woods the entire last pregnancy and would set me up at the side cam and say just say your lines for later."

Anything for you, Snow White!
