It's a boy!

Or at least, it will be, when Jenna Fischer delivers her first child this fall.

The Office star popped in on Jay Leno last night and broke the news to the Tonight Show host, and gave us all an update on just how she's faring throughout her first pregnancy.

"Me and my husband, we're due in the fall, September," she said. "We're in what they call the home stretch.

"This is the second grandchild, but it's the first grandson…This is the exclusive, Jay!" she said.

Meanwhile, Jenna made herself the envy of moms-to-be everywhere when she said that she hasn't had any hiccups throughout her first couple of trimesters.

It has been [easy] for me, I've been really lucky," she said. "I haven't had any morning sickness or anything like that. I've been exercising, which I think has helped, I don't have any back pain, a lot of women complain about that."

Her one unexpected discovery throughout this whole process?

"You don't really know hunger until you're pregnant," she said, going on to explain the one question you should never ask a hungry, expectant mother.

"Don't say, 'What do you want to eat?' In the time it took you to say that, it's too long. I should be eating already…don't offer me a salad with vinaigrette dressing. I want spaghetti bolognese. I want it immediately, or I'm gonna eat your foot."

That should be warning enough for The Office's craft services department. While this is Jenna's first real-life pregnancy, it'll be her second small screen one, as last week she confirmed that her current state will be written into the new season of the NBC hit.
