Jennifer Love Hewitt is featured on the cover and inside the Fall 2013 issue of “Modern Dog” magazine!

Jennifer Love Hewitt is one happy mom-to-be!

“I’m loving [being pregnant]! It’s really been a joy,” she told PEOPLE at Susan’s Magic Makers benefiting Camp Kesem in Santa Monica, Calif., on Saturday. “I have no complaints. I mean, tired feet and all the stuff you hear about, but nobody needs to hear about that.”

Hewitt — whose engagement to her Client List costar Brian Hallisay was confirmed by PEOPLE on June 5, the day after her pregnancy was announced — attended the event in support of children affected by a parent’s cancer.

“I lost my mom a little less than a year and a half ago to cancer. Obviously, I got very lucky that even though I lost my mother, I lost her later in life, but it’s still had a profound effect on me,” the actress, 34, tells PEOPLE. “I’ve always wanted to be a mom. I had a great relationship with mine. I’m ready to pass on to my child all the great love that my mom had for me.”

Due in December, Hewitt still manages to work out five or six times a week, though her routine has switched to more swimming than weights.

“It’s making me feel good,” she said about her continued exercise regime. “I’ve been reading all these interesting stats about kids with pregnant moms who work out have all these great benefits, so I’m happy about that.”

She’s also embracing her body’s changes.

“I’ve been under scrutiny for 24 years of my life, so it’s been interesting to see how, when you really embrace what it’s about, it’s okay,” Hewitt said. “You just go with it, and it’s great.”

Though Hewitt and Hallisay have started shopping for their baby, she said they have yet to set anything up yet — or begin planning a wedding.

“[Being pregnant] is a lot to handle at the moment. Getting out of bed without making a weird, old lady noise is about all I can take right now,” she jokes.

Check out a clip of Jennifer Love Hewitt in the film “Jewtopia”.

Jewtopia is in theaters and On Demand beginning September 20.

“Hot in Cleveland” has begun production today on its fifth season, which will premiere in spring 2014, it was announced by Larry W. Jones, President, TV Land. With amazing guest stars including Emmy(R)-nominated Max Greenfield, “The Office’s” Angela Kinsey, Kirstie Alley from TV Land’s new original sitcom “Kirstie,” and returning guest stars Jennifer Love Hewitt, Craig Ferguson and more, “Hot in Cleveland” is getting even hotter as it nears 100 episodes.

“100 episodes is a huge accomplishment for any TV show,” said Jones. “We’re so proud of the cast and crew, and we’re looking forward to another fantastic season with new twists and turns in every episode.”

Guest star Max Greenfield, well-known as the hilariously obnoxious Schmidt on “New Girl,” will play a charming con man who poses as a pet adoption consultant, while Angela Kinsey will portray an Admissions Counselor for a pre-school that Joy (Jane Leeves) wants her grandson Wilbur to attend. “Hot in Cleveland” is also welcoming back some favorites from past seasons, including Jennifer Love Hewitt (“The Client List”); Craig Ferguson (“The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson”); John Mahoney (“Frasier”); Michael McMillian (“True Blood”); Jay Harrington (“Better Off Ted”); Dave Foley (“The Kids in the Hall”); and Georgia Engel (“The Mary Tyler Moore Show”) as Elka’s (Betty White) BFF, Mamie Sue.

When the fifth season begins, Melanie (Valerie Bertinelli) will deal with the aftermath of the shocking news she received in the season four finale: she’s pregnant. The season will have some more surprises in store for Melanie as she starts to date one of her favorite singers. However, when the relationship goes south and he catches her in a lie, she gets “Taylor Swift-ed” and becomes the target of his latest hit song. This season will also include a crossover between “Hot in Cleveland” and “Kirstie,” TV Land’s newest original sitcom! The ladies travel to New York City, and in order to improve her “Oscar karma,” Victoria (Wendie Malick) confesses an old betrayal to her ex-roommate, Broadway star Maddie Banks (Kirstie Alley).

Jennifer Love Hewitt is pulling out all of the stops to take care of her number-one client, her unborn baby, who will be debuting in December 2013. The Client List star is having her first child with her co-star and fiancé, Brian Hallisay, and is also the face for the new Pampers campaign, Love, Sleep & Play. As Hewitt excitedly heads into the home stretch of her pregnancy, she can’t stop gushing about her baby — and her love for Parents magazine! She’s ready to play mom to her party of three and do all of the cute and mushy things that come with the job.

Congratulations on your pregnancy. How are you feeling?

I’m doing pretty good. I’m definitely feeling like I’m going into my third trimester, whatever that feeling may be. It recently hit me that I have a baby in there. (Points to her stomach.)

Now that you’re nearing the end of your pregnancy, describe the differences between the three trimesters.

The first trimester came with a lot of worry and questions. Since I’ve never done this before, I was thinking, “Am I supposed to feel this thing right here? Am I supposed to be feeling this sick?” Also in the first trimester, there’s not a lot to see. If you saw me, I looked like I ate a big lunch. The second trimester was like, “Oh, my God, I got my energy back!” I couldn’t wait to do a million things, including cleaning my house. As for the third trimester, it has hit me that this is almost over, so I really want to enjoy this because it went by so fast.

Fast but exciting?

So exciting. I can’t believe I’m going to meet this little human soon. It’s all so wonderful and great.

Have you had any funny or strangely odd cravings?

[My love for] the food that I’ve always loved has heightened. Mexican has always been my favorite and now I can eat it every day. I’m also a big avocado and strawberry person. I have to have them all of the time. I was never a cake person, and now I eat little pieces of it at a time.

Why is being pregnant such a special time for you?

It’s something I’ve always wanted to do and something I’ve waited a long time for. I feel lucky that I got to do it at this special time. For me, it’s particularly special because I lost my mom a year and a half ago, and she was my best friend. I’ve always wanted to be a mom because I want to give a kid all of the magical gifts my mom gave to me, such as love and friendship. She and I had this incredible connection that was so unbelievable. I honestly feel that this happening was a gift from her to me. I feel like I can begin moving out of my grieving and mourning period and honor what she gave to me. It has been a hurtful joy. That’s what makes this time so special to me.

Take me back to when you felt the baby move for the first time.

The baby is kicking like crazy while we’re doing this interview (laughs). I’ve never done an interview where someone is punching and kicking me from the inside. I started feeling the flutters a month and a half ago. The kicking I was just talking about is new. It started a few weeks ago, and it’s so crazy how much I love it.

Do you say something to the baby when he or she kicks?

As soon as the baby starts kicking, I touch my stomach and say, “There you are.” (laughs)

Has Brian felt the baby kick?

Yes. He just started to feel the baby kick, and he got so excited. Now that the baby is really moving, everyone can feel it and be involved, which is really nice.

What books or websites have you read to help guide you through these exciting nine months?

I’m not just saying this because we’re doing this interview, but Parents has been my go-to resource. It’s advice from other people, which I really like. Some of the typical books everyone reads are a little scary to me.

Some people play music or talk to the belly as a way to bond with the baby. What have you and Brian been doing?

I’ve been playing hip-hop music because I love hip-hop and I love to dance. I’m trying to make sure that the baby will be a dancer. We’ve been playing a lot of Jay-Z because [his music] has a good beat and bass. We want the baby to feel the good vibes.

Have you bought anything for the baby and, if so, what are your favorite products?

I’ve been using Mustela products for myself. They have a leg [comforting] cream that I use at night, plus a body lotion that I love. As for the baby, I bought Bellybuds; they’re headphones I put on my belly so the baby can hear the music.

Do you know how to change a diaper?

I do. I’ve been practicing with the Pampers Swaddlers because that’s what the baby will be wearing.

Are you ready to become sleep-deprived and play a lot of Sesame Street-type games?

I am. I’m ready to give a lot of love, lose some sleep, and play all day long.

The trailer for the film “Jewtopia” has just been released – you can watch it below!

It will be out in theaters and video-on-demand on September 20th.

Jennifer Love Hewitt definitely has that pregnancy glow — and she’s loving it!

“[Being pregnant] is an awesome thing,” the actress told PEOPLE at Pampers�? Love, Sleep and Play campaign in New York on Wednesday. “It definitely has its moments where you’re like, �?Oh my gosh this is crazy,’ but it’s been beautiful.”

One reason Hewitt, 34, continues to look fabulous while pregnant – despite her cupcake cravings – is because she’s upped her exercise routine.

“I’ve actually worked out more pregnant than when I wasn’t. I’ve been working out about five to six days a week,” she explains. “I do a lot of swimming, Pilates, yoga — all good stuff for baby and for me. It gets difficult the bigger you get because it’s more uncomfortable, but it’s important.

The actress, who recently got engaged to her Client List costar Brian Hallisay, says planning her wedding is on hold for now.

“I’m not putting that on myself also! We’re going to wait,” she says. “I’m going to get down and be cute again and then we’ll be ready to go.”

Hewitt and Hallisay have also chosen to await a delivery surprise when it comes to their first child.

“I’m due in December and I don’t know what I’m having. Meeting the baby is what I’m most excited about,” she says.

As for what she’s most terrified for, Hewitt says: “Learning to breastfeed!”
