Now that Eva Longoria is in the home stretch of her first pregnancy, her baby bump has fully popped. And the soon-to-be mom is admitting that “it’s just impossible now to wear my old clothes.” So her solution? She’s going to “live in leggings” and dresses for the remainder of her pregnancy, and we fully support it!

“So I have broken down and bought some pregnancy leggings and mostly bottoms,” she recently revealed to People. “I’m resistant to buying maternity wear just because I’ve been wearing my stuff and now I’ve gotten to a point where I’m like, ‘I’m so uncomfortable!'”

While she’s enjoying her pregnancy, Eva can’t wait for one specific moment after she gives birth to her baby boy. “I think everybody looks forward to the jean moment when you go, ‘It fits!'” she said. Although the Desperate Housewives actress has had to give up her jeans for a little bit, she only has a few more months to wait for her first child to arrive.

“I’m in the golden months right now. I’m full of energy, and the hard part of the first trimester is over,” she said. Baby No. 1 will arrive in May, so Eva and husband José “Pepe” Bastón only have two more months until their bundle of joy arrives. “I can’t wait for him to be here!” she added.

The 42-year-old is “ecstatic” about “embarking” on this new motherhood journey, but she does have some nerves about the entire thing, as any first-time mother would. “I don’t know anything about the mom world even though I have a lot of nieces and a lot of girlfriends with kids,” she said. “I’ve been reading, and it’s a lot of information and things to absorb.”

And although she’s now at an easier point in her pregnancy, Eva has admitted that she got pregnant at a “difficult time” in her life. “I was so nauseous and tired,” the actress shared with Us Weekly.

When she first found out she was expecting, she was right in the middle of directing an episode of the FOX comedy The Mick. “I thought they’re going to think I’m a terrible director because I’m just sleeping all the time! Every chance I got I took a nap!”

Hopefully, the rest of Eva’s pregnancy is smooth sailing, even if she does have to exclusively wear maternity clothing now.
