Busy Philippsis officially the mother of a teenager.
“But can I tell you something? I was VERY surprised when I gave birth to Birdie and saw them for the first time,” Philipps wrote. “They weren’t what I expected. At all. Honestly, I didn’t know who they were. But they were exactly perfect in their uniqueness. Truly. Everyone saw it instantly. And I did too even though I would whisper, ‘who are you?’ To Birdie at 3 am while I was breastfeeding.”
Philipps previouslyposted a throwback photo of her 2008 guest roleonTerminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, during which she was pregnant with Birdie. “13 years ago, my friend Josh was like, ‘want to be on a few episodes of my tv show pregnant?'” she recounted. “And I was like, ‘how pregnant never mind I’m broke yes thank you so much except I’m due in August so it’ll be before then?’ And he was like, ‘yes!'”
“And then, in August, the week before I gave birth to my first kid- there I was, on the set ofTerminator: The Sarah Connor Chroniclesfor Fox,” she continued. “Am I the MOST pregnant person to ever be on a tv show in a guest starring role? I literally have no idea. But you can look at this picture and decide for yourself. OH. Also, there was a guy who worked as an AD trainee on that show and when Birdie got the job onWith Love, he was there as the 2nd AD!! What are the chances?! Also. Birdie was almost 10 pounds but yes, I gained many more than that. Please wait for the pics of my Bird….”

Philipps revealed in December that Birdie came out as gay at 10 years old, and that they prefer they/them pronouns, which she admitted she still has trouble remembering. “So Birdie, my out kid,prefers they/them,” she said on herBusy Philipps Is Doing Her Bestpodcast. “I f— up sometimes, but I’m trying my best at that, too.”
