Start the Baby McDreamy watch (sort of)!

Grey's Anatomy star Ellen Pompeo is pregnant with her husband, Chris Ivery, her rep confirms.

"It's great news," says Jennifer Allen. "They're ecstatic."

The couple, both natives of the Boston area, met in a Los Angeles grocery store in 2003 and began dating six months later. They've been together ever since.

The actress, 39, and Chris Ivery, 41, were married personally by New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg in a low-key ceremony on her birthday in November 2007.

They got engaged on her birthday exactly a year earlier in 2006.

Chris Ivery: Ellen Pompeo's real-life McDreamy.

No word on whether there is a McDreamy Jr. in the works, given this new announcement. Don't be so sure. Chyler Leigh, who plays Pompeo's half-sister on the show, is currently expecting but her pregnancy was hidden, not worked into the script.

"I keep wondering when the transition from carrying charts to pushing wheelchairs to pushing gurneys to close up face shots in the OR will happen," Leigh, who already has two children with her husband, joked to Access Hollywood a couple of months ago.

"I guess the positive is, I'll have really buff arms from all the carrying and pushing of random medical equipment." Meredith's got to be pregnant on the show, right?

Either way, congratulations to Ellen and Chris from all of us at Grey's Anatomy Insider! Click to enlarge more photos of the happy, expectant couple below ...

It looks like Shonda Rhimes has been teaching Chandra Wilson the art of the major sell.

During an interview with The New York Post, Wilson said the Grey's Anatomy finale certainly won't let fans down.

"I've been told there are some life-changing things that happen to all of us," said the actress that plays Miranda Bailey.

So, what takes place on this much-hyped episode?

"It's supposed to be Bailey's day off, but she decides to come in and take a look at some procedures she hasn't seen in a while, and she gets sucked in with another child who's not doing too well," Wilson said. "But she handles this one considerably differently from some of the children that knocked her off her feet before."

What about the wedding every Grey's Anatomy fan is talking about? Wilson wouldn't give any clues about who is talking down the aisle on May 7.

"We're doing a church [wedding] and we're doing pretty dresses and they've got bridesmaids dresses for Izzie, Christina and Lexie," she said.

Hmmm... bridesmaids dresses for Izzie, Christina and Lexie? Does that mean Izzie won't be the one to get hitched? Discuss!

A big (bang) guest star has signed on for the Grey's Anatomy season finale.

According to Michael Ausiello, a CBS sitcom star has signed on to appear in the the May 14 episode.

Kaley Cuoco, the lovely leading lady on The Big Bang Theory, will star in the finale as... someone. The actress admits she actually has no idea about the character she'll portray.

"I am working on Grey's Anatomy next week," Cuoco said. "It is a big ol' secret. I have no clue what I am doing. I swear on my life that I have no idea what I am playing because it is the finale and they are keeping it under wraps until the last possible moment."

April 30 and May 7. Based on reports that continue to come in, these appear to be major episodes in Grey's Anatomy lore.

As we've previously written about, major guest stars and significant wedding developments will take place on these dates. And we can now add a couple of news tidbits to earlier stories:

According to TV Guide, Thatcher Grey invites his daughter and her new boyfriend out to dinner on April 30. Think Mark can play the role of the respectful, well-behaved boyfriend? Or will he end of doing Lexie in the bathroom?

Also: sources say that Derek will deliver a wedding present to Meredith on the May 7 episode. The groom will gift his bride with... her first solo surgery!

AWWWW!

Circle April 30 on your calendar, Grey's Anatomy viewers. That's when a pair of parents pounce!

According to E! Online, both Thatcher Grey and Izzie's mom (guest star Sharon Lawrence, pictured) are scheduled to appear on that date's episode.

Moreover, the two men from Ellis Grey's past (the Chief and Thatcher) will finally throw down... sort of. Also, look for Robbie Stevens to come across an older version of her daughter. She'll be quite chipper, even in the face of Izzie's diagnosis.

Meanwhile, here's an update on the major wedding news fans can't stop buzzing about:

It might not be Meredith and Derek that get married on May 7, but instead Alex and Izzie. Get those tissues ready, readers!

What is the future of T.R. Knight on Grey's Anatomy?

According to a reliable source, not even Shonda Rhimes herself knows that answer right now.

Knight's displeasure at his reduced screen time on the show has been well-documented. As a result, rumors have been circulating that George will be written out of the show.

As previously reported, the storyline that takes George away from Seattle Grace will revolve around his departure to the Army. Inspired by Dr. Hunt, the character will head overseas.

Once there, Entertainment Weekly's Michael Ausiello confirms, George will be wounded in battle. But will it be a fatal blow? No one knows for sure.

"T.R. doesn’t know whether George lives or dies," said a source close to the show. "And, as a result, he doesn't know whether or not he has to come back next season."

Is that really possible? Legally speaking, yes.
