7 of 9 - expecting!

In keeping with the Voyager theme this weekend.  This news just in:

She's Three of Nine ... Months, That Is

Start knitting those Borgling booties â€" Jeri Ryan is having a baby.

People magazine reports that the newlywed is due to give birth in March 2008, and she does not yet know the gender of the child. Ryan, 39, got married in June to French chef Christophe Emé, with whom she runs a restaurant in Hollywood called Ortolan (related story, pg. 2).

"She is thrilled about the new addition and they are very, very happy," says a rep for Ms. Ryan. "They are beyond excited and are beaming from ear to ear." (Beaming. Ha.) This is Ryan's second child; she has a 12-year-old son, Alex, from her first marriage to banker/politician Jack Ryan.

Ryan is currently working on the second season of CBS' Shark, which premieres on Sunday, Sept. 23. According to TVGuide.com, the show's producers have not decided yet how or if they will incorporate Ryan's pregnancy into her character, Jessica Devlin, who ostensibly will have a greater role in the show this season because of certain plot twists last season.

That's great. 7 of 9 is six years older than me...good...then won't feel too bad for waiting to have children.

WOW she was married to Jack Ryan....wasn't he President of the US ;)  I guess ya had to read the book.

Yeah I wouldn't worry Jen, I'm almost 36 and our youngest is only 18 months old...there's nothing wrong with waiting

i agree... i'm 22 with plans of children someday but not anytime in the near future, that's for sure! :)

Kids are great!  But a huge responsibility that will basically change your life drastically forever.  Don't do it until you feel ready.

Wish I would have heard that advice 22 years ago Rico!!!

j/k, I wouldn't trade my kids nor the experiences we had together for anything. It's been a crazy ride, but worth it.
