"What a day ! My beautiful sister threw me a baby shower on the weekend and my BEST FRIEND, baby daddy and the equally beautiful @jameskirkham came and PROPOSED to me in front of all my friends," the Victoria's Secret model, 34, captioned a series of photos from the day shared on her Instagram.

After Kirkham got down on one knee, the couple was photographed sharing a kiss in front of the ocean as the sun set in the background. In another photo, the newly-engaged pair smiled wide as Hart held up her engagement ring on her left hand to the camera.

Hart announced her pregnancy on Instagram in September by posting a selfie holding up a positive pregnancy test.

"I WOKE UP LIKE THIS 😬 Thanks to @firstresponsepregnancy I was able to confirm (twice😉) that @jameskirkham and I are officially PREGNANT," she wrote. "We’re so super duper excited about this awesome news, especially at this time and amongst the mainly bleak news out there. What a blessing. We’re so unbelievably grateful and happy!"

The baby on the way will be the first for Hart and second for Kirkham, who is already dad to 6½-year-old daughter Wren.

"I just can't believe I'm finally going to be a mother! I cannot wait," Hart told PEOPLE exclusively. "I feel like this is what I've always meant to be!"

She also revealed the sex of her first child on the way, a daughter, exclusively to PEOPLE, sharing a video of the moment she and Kirkham found out.

Channeling the dad-to-be's high-adrenaline career, Hart and Kirkham had a loved one take the envelope containing the baby's sex and place the corresponding colored powder (pink for a girl or blue for a boy) in the path of a car's tires.

The couple couldn't contain their excitement as a pink cloud rose around them, cheering and celebrating with those gathered for the occasion and sharing a big hug.

"We're so beyond excited," Hart told PEOPLE. "I really thought it was going to be a boy! I don't know why. I just saw myself as a mom of boys. You just never know. I couldn't imagine it any other way now!"
