While Zoe Saldana may still be eight weeks away from giving birth, the pregnant actress could not be more excited to add the title of mother to her résumé. 

"Thank you," the beaming mama-to-be gushed to Ellen DeGeneres after the television personality congratulated the actress on her pregnancy. 

Saldana, along with her Book of Life co-stars Channing Tatum and Diego Luna stopped by the Ellen DeGeneres Show to chat about the animated comedy, which hits theaters today, while also dishing on parenthood. 

"They're schooling me on what to expect," the soon-to-be mother said of Luna, who has a 6-year-old son and 4-year-old daughter, and Tatum, who is a dad to 1-year-old daughter Everly with wife Jenna Dewan, "It's fun, it's not so fun every day, but it's fun," the thesp added of pregnancy.

Clearly, the 36-year-old beauty is positively glowing (how gorgeous is that grin?) but as any mother knows, pregnancy, unlike Hollywood, doesn't come with a glam squad. 

"You hear everything and you feel like 'OK I can deal with this,'" she said before revealing. "Until I was just telling the boys I went to sit down the other day and a broke my pants from beginning to the end and I was just like, 'This is new, this is really interesting.'"

"It's OK, I did that the other day," Channing quipped as consolation. 

"It happens often," Luna added with a smile. 

While Saldana, who is pregnant with twins, stayed mum on the sex of her babies on way (a source told E! News that the actress will give birth to twin boys), telling Ellen, "we just want them to be healthy," she was more than happy to dish on the name game she and husband Margo Perego have been playing as they try to choose their little ones' monikers. 

"My husband is very Italian and I'm very Latina so every day we have messages from our parents, 'Oh it should be Rocko, Giovanni, Luigi, Antonio Ramon Jose.' And you're like, 'Oh my god, people chill, chill'" she said of naming the couple's future children. "We're kind of hippie we want it to be like, Lavender," she added, laughing, "Im joking." 

Of course, leave it to Channing to quip, "You should just freak 'em out and be like, ‘No, we're thinking Bob.'"
