New York, Dec 30 (IANS): Pregnant model Molly Sims says she often feels "exhausted" during the festive holidays but has planned ahead this year to avoid unnecessary stress.

Sims is five months pregnant with her second child with husband Scott Stuber, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"The holidays are hard when you're pregnant. You're just exhausted. It's hectic, but I love it," she said.

However, the 41-year-old star has tried to plan ahead this year to avoid unnecessary stress.

"I'm really particular about my gifts, so I have to go and personally pick them out. I make notes for present ideas throughout the year. I try to get all of my shopping and wrapping done, and then I'm done. I don't want to stress. I want to enjoy the holidays," she added.

Molly is also gearing up to host a number of special gatherings for friends over the next few weeks and doesn't mind putting pressure on them to RSVP.

"It's hectic around the holidays, so you have to send invites out early. I start nudging two weeks out, and then I need to know a week before the event," she said.

Sims, who runs her own lifestyle website mollysims.com, is planning to do most of the cooking herself.
