Grey's Anatomy star and expectant mom Ellen Pompeo, who announced she is pregnant a week ago, brought along some adorable company - pet poodles Valentino and Gigi - while visiting a friend of hers in the Hollywood Hills on Wednesday afternoon.

She sure makes a cute pregnant person ...

Ellen Pompeo is carrying three adorable creatures!

No word on how Pompeo's pregnancy will fit into the Grey's Anatomy universe. Will Meredith Grey become pregnant also? Will Ellen take a leave of absence? Will the producers use camera tricks or other disguises / approaches to disguise it until she gives birth?

That appears to be their approach with pregnant co-star Chyler Leigh, whose character, Lexie, was nervously stuffing her face with food at every opportunity last night!
