Britney Spears is in the process of moving into her sprawling new Calabasas home, X17reported on Tuesday.

"I just took my babies to our new home, and they loved it!" Spears wrote on her Twitter account. "I can't wait to move in." According to X-17, the pop star -- who is mom to Sean Preston, 3, and Jayden James, 2 -- was spotted unloading items such as the boys' electric cars onto the property.

The Prado De Los Suenos house in The Oaks community in Calabasas is priced at $8.9 million, a reduction on its original fee, according to a real estate source.

The pop star's six-bedroom, six-bathroom Studio City, Calif. home is currently on the market for $7.195 million. (It was originally priced at $7.9 million, but because the house has been on the market since September with no offers, the source says they lowered the price by $7000.)The gated, Italian Renaissance-inspired villa has about 7,500 square feet and features a wet bar, a library, a den, high ceilings and stone and mosaic tile floors.

The master bedroom has a fireplace and a loggia. The pad also comes complete with a pool, spa, arbor and three garages.

Spears, 27, had to leave the home twice in 2008 to be hospitalized at L.A.'s UCLA Medical Center.

In June, Spears said she wanted to move her L.A. house to "a lower density, more quiet and less trafficked neighborhood," according to a court document filed by her co-conservators, father Jamie and attorney Andrew Wallet. The singer specified that she wanted a home "more accessible to parks and recreation areas" for her children, according to the document.
