Keri Russell talks about her pregnancy
Keri Russell, 31, is keeping busy during her pregnancy! The actress just filmed two episodes of Scrubs, which will air on April 26th and May 3rd. However, her biggest project is her new baby, believed to be due in June. She spoke to TV Guide's Michael Ausiello about the changes in her life. Here are the baby-related highlights:
On her pregnancy: I'm in the third trimester, so I'm at the beginning of the end here. The thing that surprises me is how great it is. You hear horror stories. I have a few friends who are pregnant and they're so sick — miserable sick — and I'm having such a nice experience. Knock on wood. I haven't been sick. I've been really active. I'm not too huge yet. I'm kind of a tiny girl anyway. But they say at this point every week the baby gains at least a pound. [laughs] So, we'll see how that will change. It's thrilling. It's like a daily science experiment.
On her 30s: Life only gets better. And 31's been a huge year. We bought a house, I got married, we're having a kid. We're trying to jam it all in in one year.
Why did Keri and her husband Shane choose to get married mid-pregnancy? (They got hitched on Valentine's Day): It was kind of a last-minute thing. We wanted to be in the hospital with the baby as a family. It really was just, 'Oh, when is this private room in the restaurant available? Valentine's Day? Oh, is that too cheesy? OK, well, let's do it anyway.' We had a justice of the peace do this quick little thing. It was really just beautiful, nice and simple. If we decide to actually have a [traditional] wedding, we might do it a little later. I don't think it would ever be [a big wedding]. But, you know, [something] where we actually get to say vows to each other. But this is what it needed to be. We wanted to make everything legal and nice.
On pregnancy brain at work: [At Scrubs], they were so sharp and professional. If anything, I was the slacker. Because when you're pregnant, you kind of have pregnancy brain. It's strange. People don't believe you, but your memory goes. I had these monologues to do with Zach Braff and there were times I was like, 'Uh-oh. I don't know what I'm saying. This is horrifying.'
Felicity friends make the baby shower: They were all at my baby shower. I just talked to Mandy [Amanda Foreman], and I just talked to Scott Speedman. Rob Patrick Benedict just had his second baby. They're still very much a part of my life and they always will be.
