"Rachael Leigh Cook has explained that she was in no rush to have a baby. Cook and her husband Daniel Gillies, who wed in 2004, announced in May that they are expecting their first child.  Cook, who revealed that she is &amp;quot;so excited&amp;quot; about having a baby, has now told People that the couple wanted to do other things before trying for children. &amp;quot;We got married incredibly fast,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;We got engaged after dating for maybe five months, and we got married a couple of months after that. There was just so much more both of us wanted to do. We wanted to travel and accomplish a lot more in our professional lives.&amp;quot; Cook - who admitted that the first months of her pregnancy were &amp;quot;difficult&amp;quot; - added that she had not been in any rush to have a baby up to this point. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re both people who like kids, but we weren&amp;#039;t jumping up and down, like, &amp;#039;Oh my God, let&amp;#039;s start that chapter of our lives&amp;#039;,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;We weren&amp;#039;t those kind of people. Now that we know what our lives are going to look like - sort of - for the next couple of months, we just felt like it was the right time finally. We&amp;#039;re not getting any younger.&amp;quot; Cook also revealed that she is unable to work at the moment, saying: &amp;quot;The wardrobe [at work has] been exceptionally accommodating and everyone&amp;#039;s been really sweet. [But] I started showing way sooner than I expected - I&amp;#039;m unavailable for any more work until the kid comes!&amp;quot; Cook&amp;#039;s show Perception airs Tuesdays at 10/9c on TNT.
