"Our DP [Director of Photography] Rick Page, who at the time was one of our camera operators, actually kept a little notebook and every time there was a new prop we were using he'd be like, hashtag belly file! Then at the end of the season he made me a T-shirt with every single prop we use to hide my belly and it was awesome," she adds.

About this new pregnancy, "This time we wrapped a few months ago, we wrapped back in November so I've had like the whole end of my pregnancy off which has felt like the biggest karmic gift ever for what I did last time."

"They're also such opposites, that kept it sort of fun and fresh and has given us a lot of stuff to explore with them because there are so many fun crossroads for them where they're polar opposites,"

Fumero doesn't forget to compliment the shows writers and creators, "We also love the way that they have avoided a lot of tropes and a lot of cliches when it comes to Jake and Amy -- that's something we're always striving for, like, 'how do we keep this real and fun and funny, but also like, not the thing that we've seen a million times before?'"
