Blake Lively is really loving this whole motherhood thing.

The 28-year-old actress, who's expecting baby number two with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, appeared on the "Today" show Monday morning, and she couldn't help but gush about her family.

Lively was on the show to promote her new shark thriller "The Shallows," which hits theaters this weekend. She revealed that Reynolds, who starred in his own isolation thriller called "Buried," was a huge motivation for her to take the role.

"[Buried] was, I think, even harder to do because you have to carry a movie in a box. At least I got these beautiful settings and a shark to help me," she said, adding, "An isolation film is tough. It's you the whole time and your imagination."

The conversation quickly shifted to Lively and Reynolds' 1-year-old daughter, James.

When asked if their little girl is doing anything exciting at the moment, Lively responded, "She's always doing something fun and exciting. She's the most fun, funny human being I've ever been around in my life."

The actress then quipped that her and Reynolds "are officially breeders," as they both come from big families and hope to have their own in the future.

"You can go on our website and we will give you some of our children," she joked.

"The Shallows" hits theaters June 24.
