Just speculation, but not without merit. With the WGA stike, the normal progression of show development is non-existent. When/if they come back from the strike, storylines may need adjusted. As Jenna Fischer explains in her blog, The Office may have that problem.

I want to get back to work. I hope we can make at least another few episodes before the season is over. It’s going to be a little crazy because as many of you know Angela Kinsey is pregnant! And boy is she showing! She has the cutest baby bump on the planet. I’m not sure how they will handle this on the show. It’s hard to hide. Angela is so tiny she’s all bump. Seriously, her arms and legs are still regular size but her belly is huge. Last month, she stepped on my scale in the bathroom and she said, “Oh my God! Jenna! I’m at 101 pounds! I’ve never weighed over 100 pounds!” I said, “Get out of my house.” Ha! The whole thing has been such a blast.

I’m not sure how I would feel having Angela pregnant on the show. Usually, bringing a baby into a show that doesn’t already have children is a disaster. The pregnancy is usually funny, but the baby never seems to fit in. But in this case it may work. Since it is an office show, we would get the pregnancy and not much of the the baby. Not much of the home life of anyone, except Micheal, is ever shown.

Then again, maybe Angela will be off at a training seminar for the rest of the season.
