Christina Applegate Steering Clear of Pregnancy Surprises

When it comes to experiencing pregnancy for the first time, Christina Applegate is sticking to the books — and skipping any surprises!

“I’m textbook right now. I’m like everything you read in the books, I’ve got it all,” she revealed during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Tuesday night.

She says her morning sickness has been “so bad” — but it’s her mental state that seems to keep the actress on her toes.

“Anyone who has been pregnant knows exactly what I’m talking about,” she jokes. “You kind of go a little cuckoo. It’s almost out of body, you’re stepping back from yourself watching this insane monster in front of you that’s you and you want to stop her, but she’s also funny to watch.”

And when it comes to playing the name game, Applegate, 38, and her fiancé Martyn Lenoble have decided to hold off until baby’s arrival.

“You have to look up more of the foreign looking names or name it Zuzu or something,” she laughs, before adding the couple are likely to steer clear of Hollywood’s exotic name trend.
