Two weeks ago, the world found out that Tom-Kat will be starting a family with their very own Tom-Kitten. “Today” West Coast contributor Maria Menounos got an exclusive first chat with Holmes since announcing the big baby news.

Katie Holmes: We're so excited.

Maria Menounos:  Tell me like what it’s like: You're pregnant [and] you are marrying the man you've always dreamed of.

Holmes: I know.

Menounos: It's such a story book.

Holmes: It's amazing. I'm so happy, it's a dream come true. I feel great. I'm beaming and … I'm so excited.

Menounos: Are you guys going to start putting together the baby room and stuff?

Holmes: Yes. We're getting that together and I'm learning how to knit.

Menounos: Have you guys started putting wedding plans together yet?

Holmes: We are. We don't have a date just yet, but there is so much excitement going on.  It's just amazing.

Menounos: It's your first wedding. I can imagine it's going to be the biggest wedding ever.
