Kidman Shows Oprah and the World First Picture of Her 'Miracle' Baby (Video)

Nicole Kidman is glowing these days, and not just because of the anticipation surrounding her new movie, “Australia,” with the hunky Aussie Hugh Jackman — due for release this Friday.

It’s also due to the birth of her “miracle” baby, Sunday Rose.

Kidman broke her own vow not to show the baby girl to the world when she flashed a photo of the infant Tuesday on “Oprah.”

Kidman took a palm-sized black and white photo from her wallet and gave it to Oprah Winfrey, who held it up to the crowd. The photo was taken by Kidman’s husband, country crooner Keith Urban, on his iPhone.

"Oh, [she’s] so much like Keith — I call her Keithette," Kidman said, when asked who four-month-old Sunday Rose resembled more.

How did the couple come up with the name Sunday Rose? It was Urban’s idea — to name the baby after arts patron Sunday Reed.

"And we went, ‘Oh, we love that day’ — that’s our favorite day because I think there’s something to do with Sundays where, if you’re lonely, Sundays are a very lonely day," Kidman said. "And if you’re happy and you’ve got your family and the things around you, then Sunday’s a beautiful day. So our baby’s called Sunday."

Kidman has said she never thought she could give birth. She was stunned when she found out she was pregnant. She’s even joked that the water she and other female "Australia" actresses swam in had some magic powers. "I call her a miracle baby because it was a miracle that I, at this age, had spent so many years trying to get [pregnant], just thought, ‘Well, it’s not my path — that’s not what I’m going to get to experience.’"

Kidman attended the Glamour Women of the Year Awards Monday night at New York’s Carnegie Hall. Click here to see wOw’s slideshow of the event.

"Three and a half years ago I had a wonderful career, I had two kids, I had movie offers, great directors offering me things, but I wasn’t loved,” she told the crowd, according to People.

“Three and a half years ago a man came along and said, ‘I’m going to take you to Tennessee.’ And he took me down there and he said, ‘I think you deserve to be loved. Let me love you, let me give you a home and let’s make a baby.’ So thank you, Keith Lionel."

Kidman received the Glamour award in part for her work on behalf of the UN Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM). She’s currently the face of their "Say No to Violence" campaign, an online petition protesting crimes against women.

"We just want everyone to sign on," Kidman told People. "We need as many signatures as we can get before we present it to the UN on November 25 so then we can go to the world and say, ‘Here, we can implement change, laws can be upheld.’ It’s to protect women and keep them safe around the world — not just in America but around the world.”

Snipe, snipe. Ugly, ugly. Yes, and it isn’t even about politics. It’s just this site and (some of) the women who frequent this place. Ugh!

I’m sure of that and that’s exactly why I wrote what I did. She needs to be reading more than this thread as she will see a whole lot more ugliness from plenty of posters!

I don’t know, things did get pretty heated during the election, and there was some nastiness, but it came from both sides, and seems to have calmed down. I think sometimes women, because of our preference for LOTS of words, come across as more vicious than men, who just say FU and walk away. We’re big girls, we can handle it !

EKA, I’ll have to agree with most of your post here except for the women comming across as more vicious than men. There is no doubt, Women are the absolute worst and no man could ever hope to be as bitchy as women are. Women really do eat their own in more ways than one!

Yes, they are all miracles—but it IS more of a miracle when you are 40 and haven’t been able to carry a baby. But it sounds like this is God’s timing for her, in this marriage where she is so happy. I live in Nashville and “folks” around here say she is really nice—it’s good to see her blessed like this.

Nice that she was able to have a healthy baby at 40, I always thought she would be too skinny to carry a baby, but that said, I’m looking forward to the movie, saw a trailer at the theatre and it looks like a great big saga. Plus Hugh Jackson without a shirt is a bonus !!

Nicole Kidman has made some fabulous movies but my all time favorite was MOULIN Rouge. Now she has a baby and I certainly can relate to that unbelievable experience. I am so happy that she is love and cherished and hope that they stay together. Lois Titherington

I say congrats to Nicole and Keith, and forever happiness. Although, I’m not sure that’s possible in their line of work. The’re marriage has already lasted longer than I expected.
