Cecily Strong never thought she would become a mother.<\/p>\n

The 41-year-old comedienne is expecting a baby girl, through IVF, this year with her fianc\u00e9 Jack, and Cecily is thankful that she will be able to experience parenthood.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on her birthday and baby shower-combined bash, she told Entertainment Tonight: “[It was the] best birthday I’ve ever had.<\/p>\n

“We got 140-something people came in because it’s my first baby, I’m 41, IVF, you know, [it’s] not a thing I was sure was going to happen in my life – so what a thing to celebrate.”<\/p>\n

Last weekend, saw a heavily pregnant Cecily – who was the longest-running female cast member on the hit NBC comedy sketch show – return to Studio 8H, in Rockefeller Centre, New York, to be a part of the ‘Saturday Night Live’ 50th anniversary celebrations. <\/p>\n

\nFrom September 2012 until December 2022, Cecily had been making America and the rest of the world burst into fits of laughter with her various comic characters.<\/p>\n

\nOne of her most notable comedy creations was The Girl You Wish You Hadn’t Started a Conversation with at a Party and she reprised the sketch character on the anniversary special in the ‘Weekend News Update’ segment where her character announced her pregnancy.<\/p>\n

\nHowever, it required a lot of stamina and endurance due to the quick turnaround of the live show each week.<\/p>\n

\nAsked how she managed to do that for a decade – a period which she described as the “greatest years” of her life – Cecily admitted: “I don’t know.<\/p>\n

\n“I don’t sleep well, I think that’s going to prepare me for motherhood.”<\/p>\n
