Adriana Lima Is Back on Beach Duty

Earlier this month, Victoria's Secret model Doutzen Kroes announced that she is expecting her first child with her boyfriend, DJ Sunnery James. This week, it's rumored that Australian beauty and fellow VS catwalker Miranda Kerr will soon be taking a family-related break of her own, thanks to her quickie wedding to Orlando Bloom.

Luckily for the beloved lingerie brand, Adriana Lima has returned to work after giving birth to her first child, daughter Valentina, in November 2009. The Brazilian beauty was snapped working her best poses on the beaches of St. Barts this week, looking more than comfortable to return to the work that made her famous.

Just last month, Lima confessed that she didn't quite feel comfortable with her post-birth body yet, telling E! News, "I'm not at the point where I'm happy yet, but I'm working on it, and soon I will be where I'd like to be."

Adriana Lima: One Sexy Mama

Known as one of the hottest women in the world, Adriana Lima is doing her best to acclimate to the dual role of sex symbol and loving wife/mother.

The Brazilian beauty, who dons the pages of many of the sexiest bikini/lingerie shoots ever to be seen, currently is spending time with husband Marko Jaric and 8-month-old daughter Valentina.

	Recently chatting with Hello! Canada, Miss Lima said of her pregnancy, "I was very sick for five months. And then I had pre-eclampsia, so Valentina was born earlier because of that. But thank God, she was healthy and everything was fine."
As for Marko, she tells, "He's been the greatest. I'm so lucky. After the birth, he helped me so much. He would help me feed her, change the diapers - actually, he was better than me at changing her! He's still great. He's always there and he loves Valentina so much. I can see it in his eyes every time he looks at her. He's so happy."
