Minnie Driver's son Henry was just born in September, but she's eager for baby No. 2!

"I'd have another one," Driver, 38, said on an episode of The Ellen DeGeneres Show to air Friday (check local listings).

Look back on Us' baby bump hall of fame!

Driver says the urge recently began to grow.

"I think it only kicks in after you have really forgotten...I've only just managed to look at the pictures of the birth...they do make you kind of go...owww...," Driver explained.

"And then I look at [Henry]," she added. "I want another one of him!"

Plus, Driver says he's "very easy...he sleeps and smiles as far as I can make out."

Henry Story Driver, born on Sept. 8 in L.A., weighed in at a whopping 9 lbs., 12 oz. (Driver never released the name of his father.)

"He was a pumpkin for Halloween," Driver said. "Except it didn't fit him because he was too big. We had to cut the feet off - he wore orange and black spider socks - but his diaper...I would hold him facing out because on the back there, there was just this huge triangle where his diaper showed because we couldn't close it."

DeGeneres replied: "That's a big baby...that's too big to be a pumpkin! That's really the biggest costume you can buy for a baby."

"He's filling it," Driver joked.

See how your favorite stars dressed up for Halloween!

DeGeneres handed Driver a onesie in two different sizes that said: "I may be BIG but my Mom is Minnie."

"We decided to give you a gift because we had heard he was a big baby," DeGeneres said.

    NO WHERE DID SHE SAY HER SON WAS FAT--the title of article said this BUT she did not-she said he was big. a 9 and half lb baby looks almost 3 months old and a newborn size does not fit that baby! What a terrible interviewer and a terrible magazine, always called US a rag and it is!

    I agree. You don't think about the pain of labor while you're pregnant, but shile you are going through it, you wish you had never thought about it!

    Who cares? You are more of a loser than the people you idolize. Instead of idolizing some bimbo that makes jokes about her babies size, maybe you should get a life. Shes as pathetic as you.
