The How I Met Your Mother Blog

It’s kind of mundane but I thought you guys might want to see it. Cobie looks super tall!

It’s been confirmed.

Thoughts on the franchise, or her in this role? I’m unfamiliar with the character but glad to see her getting work outside HIMYM.

As Joben pointed out in the comments to this week’s episode recap, Cobie Smulders is on the cover of Maxim looking hot. Congrats!

Being 27 with a respectable sexual history and sophisticated sense of humor I don’t read Maxim, only British GQ to learn how to get hipsters into bed. Anyone out there a subscriber? Do they ask her about anything interesting or has the magazine eliminated all attempt at editorial/journalistic integrity? Sis-boom-sex? Really?

Congratulations to Cobie Smulders for making it onto AskMen.com’s Top 99 Women of 2009 List.

She deserves it too. She’s beautiful, hilarious, and her personality and humor has really shaped what the show has become. Plus, she’s Canadian. Bonus?

So go over to AskMen.com and vote up Cobie. Show your support!

What?!?!?

We learned a little while back that Alyson Hannigan was pregnant. Now we get news that Cobie Smulders is expecting as well and is due sometime in the spring. The father of her baby? It’s Blauman, one of Barney’s douchy co-workers. Steak Sauce! Editor’s note: the character Blauman is douchy, the actor who portrays him is surely a kind, thoughtful young man and will treat Cobie and their child with respect and dignity.

From the picture People magazine used, Cobie is already starting to gain some weight (which isn’t surprising considering how thin she’s been.) What will this mean for the show? Writing in a story about Lily getting pregnant would be easy, if not that popular. But Robin? She’s Baron von Hatesbabies, how on earth are they going to handle this?

Congratulations, though, to Cobie and Taran on the pregnancy!

Update: Bays and Thomas comment on the pregnancies.
