Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer; does baby impact True Blood?

Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer from True Blood are expecting a baby, what does that do for the series? The series shoots in late November to early December, Mrs. Moyer should be having her baby by then, will she be absent from the early episodes? The writers of the show have all ready used a get out of jail card when they wrote Sookie being in Faerie for a year, that would have been an excellent idea for her pregnancy and subsequent birth of the baby. In some TV series in the past the gravidity of the star was hidden from frontal view with pillow, furniture, or filmed from the waist up, so how is Paquin's pregnancy going to be handled? I have a notion that the reason vampire Bill's character has lots of screen time is that Stephen Moyer is involved and now married to the star, Anna Paquin. In the later books,Bill is there peripherially, not a main character where story lines revolve around him, but then the HBO series is very different compared to the Charlaine Harris's books.
