Alyson Hannigan: Baby's 'The Best Thing That's Ever Happened to Me'
Originally posted 08/14/2009 06:05AM
It's unusual to celebrate your first day back at work after a summer vacation, but that's just what the cast and crew of How I Met Your Mother did this week.
They had plenty to celebrate: In addition to Neil Patrick Harris's third consecutive Emmy nomination for best supporting actor in a comedy, the CBS sitcom nabbed its first nomination in the best comedy category – and stars Alyson Hannigan and Cobie Smulders became mothers over their summer breaks.
Opting for orange juice rather than a champagne toast while backstage her husband Alexis Denisof looked after 4-month-old Satyana, Hannigan told PEOPLE, "I'm so fortunate that she's here. We set up a nursery, and daddy and baby are in nursery right now. So I can run off and get to see them when I have scenes off. It's the best thing that's ever happened to me! I'm so in love."

Asked by PEOPLE if it is, in fact, an engagement ring, the actress, 26, flashed a smile as dazzling as her new sparkler and said, "Yes, it is."
Smulders, who plays the single Robin Scherbatsky on the hit CBS sitcom, says that her boyfriend, actor Taran Killam, popped the question over the holidays.
