Anne Hathaway's baby dreams are about to come true! It's being reported the actress is gearing up to be a first-time mom, and is currently pregnant with her and husband Adam Shulman's first child.
“Anne is in her second trimester and feeling great,” a source revealed to E! News, pointing to recent photo of the Oscar winner as further proof the pregnancy news is the real deal.
Anne Hathaway (who is pictured here in late September) has made it no secret she's been longing to start a family.
“I’ll start with one healthy kid but I’d like to have a few naturally and adopt. I gotta get on it, you know?” she told The Telegraph in 2012. “I’d like to have as many as I can afford, not just financially but in terms of time, because you want to make sure each one feels special.”
“I want to be a mother, and I anticipate loving my children quite fiercely,” the star added to Vogue in 2013. “I think about it all the time, though it’s a silly thing to think about because the kind of mother I’ll be depends on the kind of children I have. I can’t wait to meet them.”
Isn't that sweet? I've been waiting to here a Hathaway-Shulman baby announcement for a while now, hoping their dreams of welcoming a child into the world would come true.
For me, when baby fever did strike it was pretty intense. That, coupled with discovering we were able to conceive surprisingly quickly meant I had a baby in my arms about 10 months after first feeling the urge. I'm glad, of course, to have not had any trouble getting pregnant, but wow -- it was also a whirlwind!
I imagine that having baby two might somehow take longer, but again I got a positive pregnancy test back in a matter of weeks, and now you know why my boys are just 20 months apart. It took twice to learn our lesson, and since the desire for baby three never really manifested we opted for a vasectomy and labeled ourselves done.

Not yet entirely convinced Anne has been looking forward to motherhood? Check out another quote of hers, in our gallery of celebrities suffering from (or completely lacking) baby fever:
Prince Harry: "Of course, I would love to have kids right now, but there's a process that one has to go through, and tours like this are great fun. Hopefully, I'm doing all right by myself. It would be great to have someone else next to me to share the pressure. But, you know, time will come, and whatever happens, happens." (PR Photos)
Charlize Theron in 2009, before adopting in 2012: “I’ve always known that I wanted to be a mom. I love children. I’ve always loved children. But I’m not like, ‘Oh my god, I really must have kids right now.’ I’ve never felt this pressing urge that some biological clock is ticking.” (PR Photos)
Luke Wilson: “Do men have a biological clock? I feel like I do. Something is definitely ticking!” (PR Photos)
Jane Lynch: “I never went through a biological clock experience. I never even heard it ticking.” (PR Photos)
Ellen Pompeo on going from newlyweds to parenthood: “We enjoy our life so much. We go to Europe and sleep in. So when I have the baby, I won’t feel like we’ve missed any fun, reckless times together, like staying up all night drinking champagne and having sex until five in the morning and not having to get up until two in the afternoon.”
”I’ve got to get on it,” she added, “Because the clock is ticking. It’s a huge lifestyle change, and I take that very seriously.” (PR Photos)
Perez Hilton two years before welcoming a son: “My clock is ticking. I definitely feel open and deserving of a quality relationship. And I also really want to have kids. I don’t necessarily need a partner for that; I can do that on my own. Adopting is great, but I want to have my own biological children."
"I guess that’s where the Latino in me comes out,” he added with a laugh. “When you have worked so hard for so long, your priorities shift. I think there are more important things in life than what you do for a living.” (PR Photos)
Carrie Underwood in 2009: "Someday I’d like to start a family. Not a big one, but not a small one either. Two kids is good. Three is fine. Four? Somebody’s getting something done, because we ain’t having five!” (PR Photos)
Tia Mowry on sister Tamera's second pregnancy: “We’re really excited to have a girl come into the family because we have two boys. She’s going to be so spoiled. I can’t wait — it’s definitely giving me baby fever. I think, ‘Okay, maybe I can do this again.’ ” (PR Photos)
Anne Hathaway on her 2013 goal: “I’ve had one goal in mind for the past 12 years, which is: get a movie, get a movie, get a movie. Now I might have to say: get a baby, get a baby, get a baby.” (PR Photos)
Janet Jackson in 2008 at age 41: “I get so much pressure from people I don’t even know and I think, ‘Am I missing the moment?” The singer added that she still feels like a child at heart, saying, “I’ve got to get a little more kid out of me first before I move on and be childish with my child.” (PR Photos)
Vince Vaughn in 2009, prior to welcoming two children: "I’ve been very fortunate in my career, and my life has been about that for so long that you get bored of it. You’re ready for your life to be about other people and other things." (PR Photos)
Adam Levine: "We're definitely going to do it. I want to have 100 kids. I want to have more kids than would be socially responsible. I don't know when we’re going to do it. We can't do it right now. I think it's absolutely in the works for some future date." (PR Photos)
Margaret Cho: "When I see children, I feel nothing. I have no maternal instinct...I ovulate sand." (PR Photos)
Vanessa Lachey: "I was telling somebody earlier today that men have a biological clock. [Nick]’s like, ‘Baby, I’m 40. We gotta get it moving.'” (PR Photos)
Ryan Reynolds in 2013, prior to welcoming daughter James with wife Blake Lively: "We'd love to have a big family. We both come from big families — my parents did four, Blake's did five. A lot of people say it's crazy, but we'll only know when we're there, you know? We'll walk through that fire pretty happily, I think." (PR Photos)
