"Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" star Ellie Kemper is expecting her first child this summer, and she stopped by TODAY Friday morning to share the details.

Well, the details she knows so far.

Kemper and husband Michael Koman have decided to stay in the dark when it comes to whether their having a boy or a girl.

"We are not finding out — isn't it wonderful?" she said. "We have it in an envelope, actually. But I haven't looked!"

The first trimester also brought about a surprise lack-of-cravings — for ice cream.

Kemper is an admitted ice cream addict, so enamored by the frosty treat, she even tried to kick the habit via hypnosis on TODAY last summer.

It didn't work.

But pregnancy turned her right off the stuff — at first. Luckily her appetite came back before she was presented with an entire tray of her favorite: Ted Drewes Frozen Custard.
