Pregnant Aubrey Plaza is preparing to get into nesting mode as she awaits the arrival of her first child.
The 41-year-old actress is expecting a baby with actor Christopher Abbott, 40, more than one year after her estranged husband Jeff Baena died by suicide.
Plaza was walking her dog in heather grey jogger sweatpants when she passed a woman pushing a child in a Vista carriage.
The mom-to-be took note of the four-wheeler, sizing it up through her black sunglasses.
She concealed her baby bump in a white, fleece, quarter-zip pullover and she wore a beige baseball cap on top of her brunette locks.
Plaza's comfortable look was rounded out with a pair of white socks and mauve-colored New Balance sneakers.

The star broke her silence on her pregnancy in a Smartless podcast episode shared on Monday.
'Well, there's a baby inside of me. No, I said there's a baby inside of me right now,' she told hosts Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, and Sean Hayes.
Plaza explained: 'Today was a big day. I went to the doctor’s today, and my dog also went to the doctor’s. And both of us – my dog’s getting a scan right now. I got a scan earlier. I’m not kidding.'
'She had to get an ultrasound on her stomach…And then I got an ultrasound on my stomach, and there is a baby in there,' the star continued.
Injecting her signature quirky humor, she joked, 'It already has a cloak and a little hat. I think it's gonna come out.'
Asked if she was 'excited' about becoming a first-time mom, the Parks And Recreation actress answered: 'I am. Yeah. I’ve always wanted to see what that’s all about, you know?'
Last week Plaza and Abbott were pictured together for the first time since their baby news went public.
They were snapped while celebrating the Broadway revival of Death of a Salesman at the show's opening night afterparty at Katz's Deli in New York City.

Prior to announcing their exciting baby update, they had kept their romance under wraps.
The couple first worked together in 2019 on the indie psychological drama Black Bear, followed by the Off Broadway revival of Danny And The Deep Blue Sea, which ran from October 2023-January 2024.
Baena's body was discovered in January 2025 after he took his life at age 47.
Plaza and the screenwriter had been separated since September 2024, an LA County Medical Examiner's autopsy report obtained by DailyMail.com revealed.
She was living in New York when he was found in Los Angeles on January 3.
Last August the Parks and Recreation star reflected on her grief while appearing on former co-star Amy Poehler's podcast Good Hang.
She shared: 'Right in this very, very present moment, I feel happy to be with you. Overall, I'm here and I'm functioning.
'I feel really grateful to be moving through the world. I think I'm okay, but it's like a daily struggle.'
