How I Met Your Mother‘s Alyson Hannigan will soon bring some of her real-life experience as a mom to her small screen role. Her character, Lily, and husband Marshall (Jason Segel) are expecting a baby this coming season.
Fans of the show will know that nothing ever goes quite as expected with Lily and Marshall, and Alyson agrees. She told Parade: “I’m sure the pregnancy will be hilarious. It won’t be a smooth, easy transition. They’ll have lots of blunders along the road… I’m really happy we get to have that as a storyline this season.”
Check out some more highlights of Alyson’s interview.
On balancing work with parenting: “That’s a tricky one. You have to look at the overall picture. When I’m sitting at work, I feel guilty that I’m not taking care of my daughter. But the fact that I’m working in the morning means that she and I will have the afternoon together. So, you just have to look at the overall picture rather than the day-to-day.”
On looking great with limited time to get glam: “If you only have time for makeup or hair, definitely choose the hair because you can always put on a pair of sunglasses and push the hair into your face and you’ll look very chic. My vanity time has gone out the window since I became a mom, so that’s a great time-saving trick.”
In addition to her work with HIMYM, Alyson is currently filming American Reunion, the fourth installment in the American Pie franchise. It’s due out in theaters in Spring 2012.
