Renee Zellweger is getting carried away!

Our latest visual sneak peek from the actress' highly anticipated film Bridget Jones's Baby shows the star extremely pregnant and ready to pop, while being carried into a building by Colin Firth and Patrick Dempsey.

Zellweger and her co-stars were photographed on set filming the exciting scene, which seems to be Jones getting ready to give birth to her baby. The best part is we've already seen her baby! Since this is just a movie (yes, she's not actually pregnant, in case that was still unclear), the cast has already shot scenes with the tiny cutie who will be playing her child in the film, and we had a glimpse of the film's newest star back in October.

Reprising their roles from 2001's Bridget Jones's Diary and 2004's Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, the 46-year-old actress and the 55-year-old actor continue to tell the love story between Bridget Jones and Mark Darcy, with the twist of a little on the way—but we don't know who the father is.

Universal Pictures' romantic-comedy film is being directed by Sharon Maguire and was written by Helen Fielding, David Nicholls and Emma Thompson, based on fictional columns by Fielding. The third installment in the franchise follows Bridget as a new mom in her 40s.

The new movie has been in development for years and is adapted from the author's columns for the U.K. newspaper The Independent.

Bridget Jones's Baby is set for release on Sept. 16, 2016.
