Angelina Jolie is talking about her pregnancy for the first time.

Jolie told People.com that she felt kicking suddenly in the middle of a discussion on Iraq education policy Tuesday in Washington, D.C.

She said that she's savoring this period -- unexpected kicks and all -- and added, "It is a very special time in our lives."

To date, Jolie, 32, has publicly avoided talking about the pregnancy, much less confirming it.

It will be the second biological child for Jolie and Pitt after 1-year-old Shiloh. They also adopted Maddox, 6, Pax, 4 and Zahara, 3.

Speculation about Jolie's second pregnancy began to heat up after the actress showed up at the Spirit Awards in February with a noticeable "baby bump."
