Trivia
Lucy and Ricky are crying as the episode comes to a close; the tears shed by Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz were real.

Goofs
When Ricky sings "Rock-a-Bye Baby", he mixes up the verses towards the end. This was a genuine goof by Desi Arnaz. They considered filming another take but decided the scene was so purely emotional that it was left in.

Quotes
Ethel Mertz: [Enters happily] I saw Ricky leaving; that didn't take too long. What'd he say?
Lucy Ricardo: [Sadly] Nothing. I haven't told him yet...
Ethel Mertz: You *didn't*? Why not?
Lucy Ricardo: Because I kept being interrupted by... telephones and sandwiches and...
[Looks at Ethel]
Lucy Ricardo: certain busy-bodies.
Ethel Mertz: [Crosses her arms] Well, thanks...
Lucy Ricardo: I'm sorry.
[Looks down]
Lucy Ricardo: I guess I didn't mean that...
Ethel Mertz: [Smiles] Oh, that's alright. You're bound to be cranky in your condition.
Lucy Ricardo: [Quickly looks at Ethel] I AM *NOT* CRANKY!
Ethel Mertz: [Smiles and nods] Sure.

We're Having a Baby! My Baby and Me!

Classic I Love Lucy episode including the hospital one. This was bold choice because in the 50s things were very conservative and censored. A pregnant woman on TV was risque even though they're married. Anyway, from beginning to end I enjoy this episode. It's quotable alot. And the touching part is Ricky singing My Baby and Me to Lucy. There was a lot of emotions going on from the actors and as characters.
