Jessica Biel didn't bare her baby bump on the beach Tuesday!

Instead of wearing a bikini, her preferred type of swimwear, the pregnant star remained fully clothed. Biel, 33, wore an oversized sweater, a ratty tee and pajama pants for the outing in Marina Del Rey, Calif. Biel, her mother and a pal picked up smoothies at Cafe Milan before taking a barefoot walk on the sand.

Sounds like a nice and relaxing way to spend the afternoon!

Biel, who is a first-time mom-to-be, is due this spring.

Multiple sources revealed the Biel's baby news in late 2014, but it wasn't until January 2015 that her husband, Justin Timberlake, finally confirmed the actress' pregnancy via Instagram on his 34th birthday.

Biel continued to work throughout her pregnancy, shooting The Devil and the Deep Blue Sea in New Orleans. The movie, in theaters in 2016, also stars Orlando Jones, Mary Steenburgen, Jason Sudeikis and Maisie Williams. Since production wrapped, the actress has been spending more time with Timberlake in California.

For Biel, who married Timberlake in the fall of 2012, motherhood represents "the greatest sacrifice" a woman can make. As the actress told The Daily Beast in 2014, "I don't mean that in a negative way. You sacrifice pretty much everything for this person, this little thing, and it does seem crazy, but when I see my friends who have kids they tell me, 'It's worth it. We'd do anything for them.' It's wild."

At the time of that interview, her thoughts on motherhood were theoretical. Now that she has a bun in the oven, however, reality has set in. "She's very happy and thrilled to be having a baby," a source told E! News in February. And, as an insider revealed last week, the 7th Heaven star "is close" to giving birth.

Biel and Timberlake can't wait for their mini-me's arrival. "They are both so excited for this new chapter and ready to be parents," a source previously told E! News. "They are such a great team and will both be very hands on and involved with everything."
