What a difference a year makes.

As you may remember, it was just a year ago that former Full House star Jodie Sweetin was embroiled in a very messy divorce that included, among other things, accusations by her ex-husband Cody Herpin that she was using drugs again. But now...

She is six months pregnant with her and boyfriend Morty Coyle's first child. She's due September 8.

"It's been pretty easy," Sweetin told us at the recent A Pea in the Pod event for Heidi Klum's maternity line Lavish. "Not too hormonal and crazy. I hardly got any morning sickness, no swelling."

And guess who's helping her with her cravings? Uncle Jesse! "I keep wanting barbecue ribs," Sweetin said. "The other day we went to John Stamos' house for a barbecue so he got me a big plate of ribs. I was happy covered in barbecue sauce."

Sweetin already has a 2-year-old, Zoie, with Herpin and gushed to us about her daughter's recent milestones.

"We're starting potty training now which is super fun," Sweetin joked. "She's now in a big girl bed and she's talking up a storm. She's a big drama queen. Her new thing now is everything is like, 'Oh nooo!' and everything is a big deal."

Sweetin's road to recovery from substance abuse problems is right on track, too "I work at it every day," she said. "My recovery is number one in my life, besides being a mom and pregnant, and it's something that I really focus on."

Keep up the good work, J.S.!
