Nicole Kidman Is Full of Life

by celebuzz on Jun. 18, 2008 12:39 PM / 5 Comments

Nicole Kidman is a biological mom-to-be for the first time in her 40 years, and boy, she couldn't be happier!

The Eyes Wide Shut thesp sat down with Vogue to discuss her and Keith Urban's thimbleful of joy. "To feel life growing with you is something very, very special," Kidman revealed, "and I'm going to embrace that completely. I don't believe in flittering around the edges of things. You're either going to walk through life and experience it fully, or you're going to be a voyeur. And I'm not a voyeur."

Wow, good to hear that you're not going halfway with this pregnancy thing. A lot of women just tire of the project midway. By the time they actually have the kid, they've forgotten they were pregnant in the first place.

But not you, Nicole. You will not watch your own pregnancy from the sidelines.

Hopefully, all those slacker moms out there will take a lesson from your valiant stand.

Quotables /

“Nicole Kidman is featured in a 16-page photo spread in the July 2008 issue of Vogue. Photographer Annie Leibovitz traveled to the set of Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming action-adventure epic, Australia, to photograph the film’s star. Here’s what she had to say in her interview with Vogue:

On her knees splaying out at a 45-degree angle during the interview: “The whole experience is so primal… Just look at how I’m sitting here with my legs apart. This is the way you have to sit when you’re pregnant.”

On her country life: “I’ve been in Tennessee, just sitting. We have a farm there, and I have an organic vegetable garden. This is a path I’d not taken before. My mum’s always gardened. My sister gardens. And I’ve now conformed to the Kidman women’s hobby of gardening. And it is just a hobby. I’m not feeding the troops. (laughs) There’s a softness to the Tennessee landscape that I just love. It’s very beautiful out there. We have deer and wild turkeys.”

On how carrying a child is something new and overwhelming: “When I first saw the baby on the ultrasound, I started crying. I didn’t think I’d get to experience that in my lifetime. I like the unpredictable nature of it. To feel life growing with you is something very, very special, and I’m going to embrace that completely. I don’t believe in flittering around the edges of things. You’re either going to walk through life and experience it fully or you’re going to be a voyeur. And I’m not a voyeur.”

On her and husband Keith Ubran never being apart for more than five days at a time: “I’m so committed to this relationship, and so is he. I don’t have addiction problems, but love is a very powerful force in my life. It’s my fatal flaw and my virtue.”

“Parents-to-be Nicole Kidman and hubby Keith Urban head to the gym in Nashville, Tennessee on Tuesday to get their workout on.

It had been rumored that Nicole, 40, was doing a pregnant nude cover shoot with legendary photographer Patrick Demarchelier, but actually, she will appear on the cover of the July issue of Vogue and is fully clothed. The photographer was reportedly Annie Leibovitz, the same photographer who photographed the controversial Miley Cyrus pictures in Vanity Fair.”

Yes, the drugs were delivered via Keith Urban's semen.
