The 'Homeland' star is expecting her first child with husband Hugh Dancy and she is excited about meeting her baby, reported Daily Star.
"I'm excited about becoming a mum. It's abstract still; there's nothing much to do at this point but be healthy, incubate and take it as it comes, but I feel totally ready," she said.
In the run-up to giving birth, Danes says she will be making a lot of crafts as that's what she likes to do to relax.
"I love crafts. My parents are artists, so I inherited that from them. I draw on a lot of T-shirts and bags and I love Christmas because I get to make stockings."
