First baby for Emily Deschanel

Emily Deschanel, who plays forensic anthropologist Dr. Temperance Brennan on FOX hit ‘Bones,’ and her husband writer-actor David Hornsby are expecting their first child, her rep confirms to PEOPLE.

The couple who had been dating since 2007 were married in a small ceremony in Pacific Palisades, California last September. The actress is due later this year.

Being a huge ‘Bones’ fan I’m wondering if her baby will make it into the story line. Will it be Booth’s?

Congratulations on your pregnancy Emily!

Of course WE always have babies on the brain and we think her little one would look cute as can be in the Le Top Baby “Little Lamb” kimono shirt and footed pant.
