Preparing for the birth of your first child can be nerve-wracking for any new mom, but for Jessica Alba and her husband Cash Warren, the birth of their daughter Honor Marie Warren on June 7 was anything but chaotic.
"I didn’t scream," Jessica tells OK! in an exclusive interview and photoshoot. "It was really Zen." And Cash could only marvel at his wife’s quiet strength when she gave birth. "She didn’t make a sound," he says. "It was amazing."
Here, the proud pair open their door exclusively to OK!, introducing the adorable Honor Marie Warren.
"It hasn’t totally sunk in," Jessica reveals to OK!. "She dreams, she smiles, and coos and does all these things, but she hasn’t seen enough of the world yet to understand any of that stuff. So I still feel like she’s connected to the other world, or something. There’s no other way to explain it. It’s a miracle."
The Love Guru star tells OK! that she had natural birth. "The labor was more like meditation," she says. "I did yoga breathing. I was focused."
Jessica, who tells OK! she ate "a lot of soul food" in the weeks following Honor’s birth, says she’s just now starting to shed the pregnancy pounds.
"I started working out last Thursday, but for 20 minutes. I do cardio on my own. I’m doing it slow," she says. "Now I’m starting to eat more healthy. Because after working out, having fried chicken and mashed potatoes is a little counteractive."
So who does Honor look more like?
"She looks like a girl version of me," Cash says. "She has my nose, my eyebrows and my…"
"Forehead and dimples," Jessica finishes, adding, "She has my mouth when I was a baby. And my ears."
"Maybe Honor is a mixture," Cash reconsiders. "I want her to look like me, because a daughter looking like Jessica, I’d kill myself!"
