Jenna Elfman’s second pregnancy hasn’t been as easy as when she was expecting her and hubby Bodhi’s child Story Elias.

Elfman, who is five months pregnant with their second son, tells me she was hurtin' during this first trimester...

"I was massively tired and had nausea and I didn't have any of that during my first pregnancy," says Elfman, 38, who stars in the new CBS sitcom Accidentally On Purpose as a woman who gets pregnant during a one-night stand with a much younger man.

"I was filming the show with insomnia and nausea and then going home to a 2-year-old who's very active," she said. "It was a bit daunting. But I'm past the first three months now and I feel like my head is screwed on better."

Elfman says Story couldn't be more excited about having a sibling.

"I'm not sure if he gets the whole boy or girl thing exactly, but 'baby' he gets," she said. "He's awesome. He gives my tummy a kiss and gives it a bottle and puts the blankey over my tummy and goes, 'Baby, night-night.'"
