On Friday, August 13, as fans filled the seats of San Antonio's Tobin Center for the Performing Arts, Iliza was already 10 steps ahead of them. "Recently, I had to move a lot of tickets for a scheduling conflict... because I've been working on a very big project," the comedian began her stand-up set.

Any guess what she was referring to? Of course, it was a project 9-months-in-the-making. "You'll be able to see it in January!" Shlesinger continued before she revealed a baby bump hiding under her black tee. That's right, Iliza Shlesinger and her husband are expecting a baby girl. And while we couldn't be happier for the happy couple, we've got a pretty good feeling we won't be able to match the pregnant comedian's emotions.

In a recent chat with People, the expecting momma revealed just how "excited and open-minded" she is about her latest chapter. And she's actually got a new superpower to thank for that: "I can unhinge my jaw and eat an entire cantaloupe in one breath," Shlesinger proudly joked of her latest pregnancy symptoms.

But until we get to meet baby Shlesinger-Galuten, we've actually got lots to keep us entertained. In case you forgot, the Hollywood comedian recently blessed our Netflix screens in her relatable rom-com, Good on Paper. Not only did Iliza star, produce, and pen the hilarious saga - but it was actually inspired by her very own life off-screen. Yes, really. And while we won't tell you how the whirlwind of a story ends, we'll leave you with this: if it seems too good to be true, well, it probably is...

Stay tuned. And of course, congratulations to the expecting parents!
