Aubrey Plaza's baby on the way stole the attention during her recent interview.

While chatting with The Wrap for her upcoming animated project Kevin, the Parks and Recreationalum, 41, was briefly interrupted by her baby on the way. As she responded to questions in the Comedy Confessions segment, she felt the baby kick.

"Ah, the baby just knocked on me," she said, cradling her growing belly. "I just got knocked."

Back in April, a source confirmed to PEOPLE that the Agatha All Along star is expecting her first child with her partner, Christopher Abbott, and is due this fall.

“It was a beautiful surprise after an emotional year,” the source said, adding that “they feel very blessed.”

Later in the month, Plaza appeared on a special bonus episode of the Smartless podcast, where she spoke about her pregnancy for the first time.

“Well, there's a baby inside of me,” she told hosts Will Arnett, Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes. “No, I said there is a baby inside of me right now.”

Plaza went on to joke that her dog was also getting an ultrasound, saying, “Today was a big day. I went to the doctor's today, and my dog also went to the doctor's. And both of us — my dog's getting a scan right now. I got a scan earlier. I'm not kidding.”

“She had to get an ultrasound on her stomach… And then I got an ultrasound on my stomach, and there is a baby in there,” Plaza continued. “It already has a cloak and a little hat. I think it's gonna come out.”

Plaza said she's excited to be a first-time mom.

“I am. Yeah. I've always wanted, I've always wanted, I've always wanted to see what that's all about, you know?” Plaza said of becoming a mom. “It just seems so interesting, that whole thing.”

As for where she plans to raise her child, Plaza noted, “It's not totally thought through, but East Coast for sure.”
