Continuity mistake: In the pilot episode, we see out of Doug's bedroom window and there is a very sizable gap from their window to the next house. However in later episodes, it's only a couple of feet to the next house.

Pilot - S1-E1

Continuity mistake: In the first shot inside Arthur's house, Carrie and Doug are standing together when Carrie mentions how tough it must be for Arthur. It then cuts to Arthur sitting at the table, with Doug right there sitting beside Arthur. Next shot Doug is still standing with Carrie as she urges Doug to spend some time with Arthur, so this is when Doug walks over to his father-in-law. (00:07:00)

Show generally

Question: Does anyone know if Carrie and Doug had a baby on the show? And also was it just me, or was Carrie pregnant in real life in one season, and they did not write it into the show, or did she just gain a lot of weight?

Answer: To answer the question directly. Carrie and Doug do not have a biological child during the show's main run. In season 3 or 4 finale (cant remember which) Carrie has a miscarriage. Later on in the show they find out Carrie has 1 working ovary. Thus reducing the chance of them conceiving. By the final season, they couple agree to adopt from China and go to collect their child in the show's final episode. While on the flight back from China it's revealed that Carrie is once again pregnant. However the last scene of the show is a flash forward showing that Carrie goes full term with that child and they are struggling with both kids.

Answer: Leah Remini was not pregnant in real life at the time of the series finale in 2007. Her daughter was born in summer 2004 and it was obvious she gained weight and wore larger clothes during that season. So no, her real pregnancy was not written into the show.

Answer: They did have a baby in the series finale. They actually adopted a baby from China, and then at the same time they found out she was pregnant. She was pregnant in real life, but they just covered her up, as much as they could, during the filming of the show.
