With a successful acting career and an adorable family to her credit, Anna Faris has plenty of responsibilities to juggle on a daily basis. And in her cover story for the March 2015 issue of Redbook, she explains how things were a little tricky when her son Jack was born nine weeks premature back in August 2012.
The “House Bunny” shares, “My water broke in the middle of the night at seven months. We rushed to the hospital, and they were able to halt active labor with magnesium. I was at the hospital and the goal was to be in bed for four weeks….but on the seventh day, I went into labor again. I was in denial. For hours I was like, 'I’m just having indigestion.' Chris and I were so scared, but then Jack came out, even though he was so tiny, he looked so good to us.”
Faris continues, "It’s one of those things that drives you apart or makes you closer. I think that being a father is very meaningful and rewarding to [my husband] Chris [Pratt]. He’s a great dad. He’s a little more serious than he was before. It forces your hand. You really have to become an adult,” adding, “Motherhood is like a big sleeping bag of guilt.”
Anna also enjoyed Pratt’s recent buff transformation- “I just remember being grumpy because there was no food in the house. I love to cook really fattening things like steak and pasta and potatoes. I bake banana bread. But it’s okay. I love Chris ripped and I love him a little rounder, too.”
