It’s been a photo-­filled pregnancy for Autumn
Reeser.
Since revealing she was pregnant — and expecting
a second son — the actress, 33, has been
documenting the experience on her website, Move
Lifestyle.
With the countdown on until the Reeser’s baby boy

makes his big debut — she’s due Sunday — the
mom-­to-­be and her husband Jesse Warren posed
with 2½-­year-­old son Finneus James for one last
photo session as a family of three.
In addition to sharing the snapshots, Reeser —
who’s recently had roles on Last Resort, Necessary
Roughness and Hawaii Five-­0 — is opening up to
PEOPLE about everything from her final days of

PEOPLE: How are you feeling in these last few days? Still enjoying the pregnancy or ready to be done?
Autumn: My feet hurt, my belly is huge and I can’t sleep through the night — but I still love it. It’s such an
incredible time and I feel so lucky to have experienced it not just once, but now twice. I feel powerful, feminine
and joyful when I’m pregnant.

PEOPLE: Is there a chance of a Thanksgiving Day baby or do you think he’ll come closer to his due date?
Autumn: Finn was two weeks early, so I was originally expecting an early delivery baby — I’d completely
cleared my schedule for these last few weeks of November, expecting this little one to arrive around the 12th.
He had other plans in mind, apparently!

The unexpected perk about him arriving closer to the due date is I’ve really been able to enjoy these last weeks
of pregnancy because I had already created more free time for myself.

Autumn: We have a few names we love and will just wait to see which one is the best fit. I’ve been keeping a
monthly pregnancy journal on my website and readers had all sorts of great suggestions!
Autumn: I’m working with the midwives at Gracefull Birthing and I’m so excited to deliver at home. I was
fortunate to have a very straight-­forward, drug-­free and wonderful birth with Finn in 2011 (with the midwives at
UCLA) and am looking to have an equally beautiful experience in the calm of my own home.
This time I’ll also have the benefit of a birthing pool. Jess is a very hands-­on dad and hands-­on birth partner
and he’s really looking forward to the experience (and meeting our son!) as well.

Love Autumn and can’t wait to see what name they pick for the baby!
And Finn is adorable.
Arvada on November 22nd, 2013
Really? An F-­list level celebrity (being generous here) is having a baby and that is worthy of a long
feature on People.com? What has happened to this magazine? It seems like the less famous
someone is, the more they’re willing to spill about their personal/reproductive life and you guys eat it
up. BILLIONS of women have had babies and I need to hear about a co-­star from The OC having
hers in a pool? Who cares?!
klutzy_girl on November 22nd, 2013
Arvada, obviously you cared enough to comment. Don’t read it if you don’t want to. It’s that simple.
And she’s been getting steady work since The OC ended, by the way.
ST on November 22nd, 2013
Arvada: no one forced you to read the article. Go somewhere else and spew your vitriol. You are a
rude and angry person.

Arvada on November 22nd, 2013
And you obviously cared enough about my comment to read it and respond to it! Sometimes people
are allowed to have a negative opinion of something or be critical of something. You have a right to
be critical of my comment and I have a right to be critical of People’s weird new obsession with
catering to mommies online who will read about anyone who is pregnant no matter how un-­famous
they are. This is People magazine, not Parents magazine. Thanks for reading!
Melissa on November 22nd, 2013
I’ve been reading CBB for almost 10 years, it’s not a “new obsession.” Seems like you’re just a
negative person looking for something to complain about.
Love Autumn on Hawaii Five-­0 and excited to hear about her son’s birth. Really like the photo of
father and son.
Sam on November 22nd, 2013
I don’t know who she is. The little boy is cute, like lots of other little boys. Why is she wearing that
hat? Not a good look at all.
I agree, way too many stories lately about people I’ve never heard of, having a baby. Seems like it’s
the 1960′s and everyone is having a baby. Population burst!
Nikki on November 22nd, 2013
Wow, Autumn hardly looks pregnant at all! Hope the delivery goes smoothly.
Anonymous on November 23rd, 2013
Melissa-­ As a fellow long time CBB reader, I couldn’t agree more. This blog has ALWAYS covered
all different types and “levels” of celebrities, even before PEOPLE owned it (in fact, at least one type
of “lesser” celeb was covered even MORE back then-­ athletes!)!
It’s definitely not a new thing, and I find it puzzling (to say the very least!) that people come on a blog
devoted to celebrities and then complain that said blog posts about celebrities!
Anje on November 23rd, 2013
Am I the only one to notice that really good-­looking husband of hers?! lacanyonmom on November 23rd, 2013
hey, Avrada….it’s under the BABY BLOG section. Learn to read before you get so worked up
Isabel on November 25th, 2013
Arvada, there are a number of celebrity-­inspired sites on the internet. Feel free to visit one of them
instead of wasting your time bitching about the content on this one.
Anonymous on November 26th, 2013
Arvada, there is such a thing as a negative comment and an over the top rude and unnecessary
one, such as yours. You don’t “need to hear anything” which is why you have the option to choose
what you read. Many of us enjoy reading about a variety of celebs, not just the same “A list celebs.”
Sure hope you don’t teach your kids to speak of others who aren’t as successful that way. Happy
early Thanksgiving!
