She is heavily pregnant with her twins and due to give birth any day now.

And as she eagerly awaits the arrival of her babies, Mariah Carey once again got festive with her baby bump by painting an Easter design on her huge belly.

Posting the picture on Twitter yesterday, the large drawing features an egg motif with clouds and a pink and blue heart symbolising the boy and girl she is expecting any day now.

Hinting that she is possibly exhausted with her pregnancy, the 42-year-old tweeted: 'HAPPY EASTER! Ummm.. READY!!!!!!!!!!!! Done and done,' along with the picture.

Slumped in a chair, the singer is seen sitting holding her bump while an unknown woman paints the design.

Mariah wore her hair in natural curls in the snap, and lounged in a black top and trousers .

Earlier in the day, she also retweeted a snap a fan had posted featuring an Easter Bunny toy and two eggs painted with the word's 'Dem Babies'.

The phrase was in reference to another image Mariah had posted almost a month ago.

She had previously painted a butterfly on her huge bump and daubed the words 'dem babies' on her stomach.

The large drawing had one pink wing and one blue, once again to symbolise the different sexes of her twins.

She had said that the body art was to celebrate her 41st birthday and her anniversary with husband Nick Cannon, 30, which is later this month.

Mariah tweeted: 'My attempt @ festiveness on 327! For ATLITL thank u + I LOVE U! Comin soon #dembabies! LYMA+thanx 4 making me happy:)'.

The Grammy-Award winning rececently said she is eager to begin her new role.

'Being a mother is probably the hardest job in the world. I feel like, in a lot of ways, children come into the world to teach us,' Mariah told America's Life&Style magazine.

'It’s going to be a delicate balance between raising them around glitz and glamour and keeping them grounded. One thing I’m sure of is that I’ll be grateful for the twins every day, no matter what.'

She plans to juggle motherhood with her career and has already signed up for to be part of Simon Cowell's new show, X Factor.

After shooting down reports that Mariah was set to be one of the judges, due to the timing of her pregnancy, he admitted in a recent radio interview that the star would be involved with the show.

Simon said: 'I think Mariah will have a role on the TV live shows.'

He added: 'I met her recently and she was on great form. And her idea was to be the judge of the judges, which only Mariah could come up with. She'll be involved in some form. I literally adore her. I love her to bits.'

Carey has been married to actor and TV host Nick Cannon since 2008 and the pair will celebrate their third wedding anniversary on April 30.

They married at her private estate on Windermere Island in The Bahamas after a short time of dating.

The couple met while shooting Carey's music video for her single Bye Bye on a private island off the coast of Antigua.

Mariah has spoken about how she conceived the twins naturally and also opened up about how she miscarried when she became pregnant shortly after marrying Canon in April 2008.
