Nearly every pregnant gal finds herself the recipient of mounds of advice, wanted or otherwise. You'll never sleep through the night again, breastfeeding can be painful, the weight's impossible to lose...

However, what very few people are advised on, is how darn funny motherhood can be. (It's our personal belief that the real reason you need to do your Kegels is so that you don't wet yourself when you're cracking up over the latest thing your kids just did.)

Parenthood and humor go together like chocolate and peanut butter, which is why we can't wait for the new show about parenting, Up All Night, starring this week's celebrity mom crush, Christina Applegate.

Back in the day, we would have been hard-pressed to guess that Kelly Bundy would be one of the most-crushable celebrity moms we know, yet here we are. We don’t know how she does it, but the older she gets, the cooler (and funnier) she gets.

A new mom herself, Christina is finding her life imitating art saying, “Oh my God, this is so from the pilot. Are we doing the pilot right now? The pilot is happening right inside my house.”
