Rumer Willis is eagerly anticipating motherhood! The 34-year-old actress is getting ready to welcome her first child with boyfriend Derek Richard Thomas, and she is curious to see what kind of personality her little one will have. Rumer is hoping that her baby will inherit the same sense of “goofiness” that she got from her parents, Bruce Willis, 68, and Demi Moore, 60.

“We’re a family of weirdos, and I love that so much. I really hope that that is engendered in this child,” she told PEOPLE. “That’s my favorite thing, laughing with my family.”
The excitement of welcoming a new family member, coupled with their fun-loving nature, has been driving Willis and her blended family. This includes Bruce and Demi’s daughters, Tallulah Willis, 29 and Scout Willis, 31. As well as Bruce and his wife Emma Heming Willis’ daughters, Mabel Ray, 11 and Evelyn Penn, 8.
Baby Bump Galore!
The family has been a pillar of support for the actor during his battle with frontotemporal dementia. Recently the family came together to celebrate Rumer’s baby shower on March 12, and later on March 19 to commemorate Bruce’s 68th birthday.
“I’m so grateful that I’m so close with my family and I get to rely on them for support,” Rumer stated. “It’s fun to be bringing in the first grandkid in our family, especially because we’re such a huge group at this point.”
When asked about how her pregnancy is going since her announcement of her pregnancy, she stated, she felt humbled.

“Humbling. I have so much reverence and respect for women now. I feel I’ve had an easier time physically than most of my friends. Also, because I’m so excited, even those moments that are challenging, or feel frustrating, I’m just so excited, that always kind of trumps [everything]… But, it’s wild. It’s the wildest experience, even more so than I ever thought of.”
“I want to know everything. I have all the things. I’m reading all the books. I’m actually training to be a doula right now too,” she went on to say. “I’ve always been a bit of a birth junkie and I think it’s amazing. You can literally create a life from scratch. It’s such an incredible privilege and this wild thing that your body knows exactly what to do.
