Tummy time!

Guardians of the Galaxy star Zoe Saldana shared a sweet snapshot of her 4-month-old twins Cy and Bowie via Instagram. Sporting matching personalized outfits, the baby boys are set to celebrate their first Easter season this weekend.

The new mom, 36, is preparing to return to work on the next Avatar film, and she admits it will be “painful” to leave the boys at home.

“I’m pretty sure that every parent — not just every mom — would [take time off] as long as your work doesn’t suffer,” she told Us Weekly. “But we have to pay bills and at the end of the day, I think that’s the best example we can set to our children.”

The actress, married to Italian artist Marco Perego, says it takes a village.

“We’re very determined and we can’t just leave everything behind and just focus on them. But it’s painful,” she shared. “We have a village, but it’s fun. Like, it takes three people [to care] for two? What the hell?!”

She went on to talk about the importance keeping up with date nights and workouts.

“This is us tonight with a nanny kind of telling us, ‘Get out. You guys need to go breathe,’” she shared. “Whenever they are taking naps, my husband and I are doing little push-ups here and there and everything. I want to prove to myself and help people understand that sometimes you don’t really need a trainer.”

“You can do it on your own,” Saldana said, and shared her three keys to success: “Determination, commitment, and breastfeeding!”
