Nicole Kidman Gushes About Sunday Rose
October 31, 2008 by lkatulka
In the newest issue of Parade magazine, to hit stores on Sunday, Nicole Kidman has talked about her greatest 
accomplishment: motherhood.
Photos of her newborn daughter Sunday Rose have been few and far between because Nicole wants to protect her from the media circus, even if it’s sometimes hard!
“People say, ‘Oh, it would be so much easier if you’d just let them get a photo of her.’ And I can’t. I’m like, ‘I don’t want to. I want her to stay out of that.’ Maybe that will wane as she gets bigger, and I’ll be easier with it. But for now, I’m still keeping her in a bubble.”
We might not get to see her very often, but Nicole tells us that Sunday Rose looks a lot like her daddy, country star Keith Urban.
“I’m glad, because when he goes on tour, I say to him that he leaves a little bit of him with me.”
The Australian actress never imagined she’d get to experience giving birth to her own child, and it’s a thought that still moves her.
“I’m raw and emotional,” Kidman admits. “I cry even thinking of her. But they are tears of joy. Because I suppose I never thought I would get to have it. To have been given it so late in life - I’m so ready for it. And I think giving birth to a child, as a woman, is what we’re born to do. I don’t mean that to sound sexist, because many women don’t get to do it, and I thought I was one of them. But at the same time, if you are given that gift, it’s an extraordinary thing.”
Not that Nicole’s forgetting about her adoptive children Bella and Connor! In some ways she feels that parenting them has prepared her for raising her new baby.
“Bella and Connor are 15 and 13, so we’ve taken them, Tom and I, almost into their adult life. To then have a birth child that I have to take into adult life, give her her wings, it’s a big purpose. I know my place. Put it that way.”
