i love babies. babies rule. pudgie arms and stuff.



On the day the news broke that How I Met Your Mother star Cobie Smulders is expecting her first child (with actor-boyfriend Taran Killam) — and this just weeks after Alyson Hannigan announced her own premiere pregnancy — series cocreator Craig Thomas issued a statement touting the hitcom's apparently fertile workplace.

"Everyone's tremendously excited by all the impending motherhood here at How I Met Your Mother. We're all so happy for Cobie and Aly, who will undoubtedly be amazing moms!" said Thomas. The exec producer then added, "And now, a public service announcement: If you're trying to start a family, please come visit the set of How I Met Your Mother. Just come by and hang out for a day or two. We can't legally guarantee anything, but by the time you leave, you will almost certainly be pregnant."

"Now, if you'll excuse me," Thomas said in closing, "I have to go down to our wardrobe department to check out the large burlap sacks Robin and Lily will inexplicably be wearing for the rest of the season."

While it's unlikely that Smulders' pregnancy will be written into the show, as of late Mother has been laying the foundation for Lily and Marshall to become parents (or at least have fun trying). That said, at the time Hannigan's news broke, series cocreator Carter Bays didn't tip his hand, only quipping, "We may have to push the 'Lily wins a gold medal in gymnastics' storyline to next season."

For some reason, I half expected them to try and write in a pregnancy for Robin more than I did for Lily.
How do you think they'll hide TWO Cobie's pregnancy? (And Alyson's if Lily doesn't pregnant?)

How do you think they'll hide TWO pregnancies?

They are only hiding one, Hannigan's pregnancy is going to be written in . . . or am I missing something?!

I think they should make Lily preggers. A Marsmallow/Lilypad spawn is bound to be awesome.

my aunt gets so sad whenever something comes up about babies and i'm like "damn babies". she found a bunch of my baby clothes and was "awwing" and telling me i needed to keep them but i'm like "toss that shit, babies are annoying".

Timing-wise, they might be at their most pregnant during hiatus so that might help. But otherwise, big purses and pillows to the rescue! I really hope Alyson's and Cobie's kids become BFF.

Yeah, they should have just ignored it and not hid it at all, because hiding it badly is even worse than not hiding it at all.

I hope they don't write the pregnancies in. Babies seriously ruin sitcoms. Plus, it would change the whole dynamic!

On the other hand, Wesley/Willow baby! I'M SO EXCITED.

I've finally succumbed to this show; my coworker LOVES it. Its hysterical. And NPH plays such a convincing man-whore.



I guess they wont be celebrating 'Not a Fathers Day' this year. XD

OMG ALY'S PREGNANT?

im a bad, bad buffy/angel fan for not knowing this...

the name "cobie smulders" sounds like a character from one of those kids' tv shows that look like acid trips...

Is it wrong that I hate Cobie Smulders? Like, I can't stand her.
And the few episodes I've caught of HIMYM, I didn't like Robin either.

I love Alyson Hannigan though, so I'm excited!
The world needs a Willow/Wesley baby :D.

The Office hid Angela's pregnancy, CSI New York hid Anna Belknap's first pregnancy. It can be done.

They can just have them walk around pregnant and just act like they're not, like they did with Grace on Will & Grace, when Debra Messing was pregnant. They'd make a lot of fat jokes, but that's it.

This makes me happy. They will probably be the cutest pregnant women ever.
I hope they write them both into the show.
Barney will be the father!
