Saturday Night Live star Maya Rudolph is expecting her second child with her partner, director Paul Thomas Anderson, she revealed in an interview on ET Canada.

“I wasn’t planning on sharing it, but yes I am pregnant!” she said.

As for playing a pregnant woman in this summer’s movie, Away We Go, followed by actually being pregnant, she says, “I know it’s really weird timing.”

Already mom to daughter Pearl, 3, Maya says her current pregnancy is “totally different” than the first one she and Paul Thomas Anderson experienced.

“The first time you are wide-eyed: ‘What are we doing? How do we take care of them?’ But this time, I’m like, ‘I have to sit down, I’m pregnant.'”

She adds, “When you have a three-and-a-half-year-old, you don’t have time to rest and nap and do all the those sweet pampering type things you did for yourself the first time. You are just like, ‘okay, I got to get to bed!'”

“I feel like everyone who has had more then one [child], says you should go for it and have [a second child]. It’s nice to have this experience.”
