Ciara is preparing to tour for the first time since welcoming her daughter Amora Princess with husband Russell Wilson in December.

In an Instagram post shared April 13, the singer, 38, revealed that she is gearing up to hit the stage again — in addition to her mommy duties.

Alongside a photo of herself at the gym, Ciara wrote that she is “trying to lose 70lbs post baby, prepare for a show and tour while breastfeeding, and running my businesses.”

"Shout out to all my mammas out there gettin in, I see you!” she wrote, adding, “ToughSh$t. #MambaMentality🐍.”

Earlier this month, Ciara announced that she — along with rappers Busta Rhymes and Timbaland — would be joining Missy Elliott on tour this summer for The Missy Elliott Experience.

“So excited to hit the road with Missy, Busta Rhymes and Timbaland for OUT OF THIS WORLD Tour!!!” Ciara shared in an Instagram post. “Let’s go!”

Kicking off July 4 at Rogers Arena in Vancouver, the tour is set to hit 24 cities throughout North America, including Seattle, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York City and more before wrapping August 22 at the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.

The couple announced her arrival with a joint Instagram post, which they captioned, “We Love You so much!”

Prior to welcoming their latest little one, the couple — who also shares daughter Sienna, 6, son Win, 3, and son Future, 9, whom Ciara had with her ex Future — opened up about embracing the chaos of their full house, telling PEOPLE that it is “nonstop entertainment.”

“These kids are funny,” Ciara told PEOPLE at the time. “Our kids are really hilarious, and obviously the older they get, the more they think they know.”

“Jesus continues to amaze me! HIS Sacrifice for us all,” he continued. “His Grace & Love for us all is more than enough! Forever Grateful for our babies and His Endless Love!”
