‘Desperate Housewives‘ star Marcia Cross is revelling in her new status of mom to twin baby girls.
The 45-year old actress, who gave birth to Eden and Savannah, on Feb 20 this year, opened up for the first time about motherhood, and admits that it is better than she ever imagined it to be.
“I wanted to be a member of that club so badly, and now I’m in and it’s so much better than I even imagined,” People magazine quoted her, as saying.
However, it hasn’t been an easy ride for Cross and husband Tom Mahoney, for the couple wasn’t even sure whether they would be able to conceive.
“We did in vitro a week after we got married. We were supposed to go to Greece and Paris and have this fancy honeymoon, and I said, ‘Let’s stay put and see if we can’t give this baby a chance,’ ” Cross revealed.
They got a real scare four weeks away from Cross’ March 21 due date when the actress was diagnosed with preeclampsia, a disorder characterized by dangerously high blood pressure that threatens both mother and baby.
Doctors then decided to deliver the babies via caesarean section.
But, the trouble and worry was certainly worth it, for the actress insists that nothing except heaven compares to the love she feels for her daughters.
“I’m in heaven right now,” she said.
