New York - Australian actress Nicole Kidman said she remains overcome by the birth of her daughter Sunday Rose three months ago. "I'm raw and emotional," Kidman, 41, told the US magazine Parade in its issue coming out Sunday. "I cry even thinking of her, but they are tears of joy because I suppose I never thought I would get to have it. To have been given it so late in life - I'm so ready for it."
The mother of two adopted children - Isabella, 15, and Connor, 13, with her ex-husband and fellow actor Tom Cruise - said she did not believe she would get to have her own child. "If you are given that gift, it's an extraordinary thing," she was quoted as saying.
At the same time, however, "It's very bittersweet," she said, "because at 41 I think, 'I want to see her 21st birthday, and I want to see her get married.' My relationship with death used to be far more ambivalent, I think, and now it's very much about staying in the world."
Two years ago, she married the father of Sunday Rose, country music star and fellow Australian Keith Urban, 41.

No lucrative photo sale for Gwen Stefani: Pic of son online for free =
New York - US singer Gwen Stefani released the first official photo of her second son, Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale, on her website two months after his birth.
"Gwen, Gavin, Kingston and Zuma are all doing well and enjoying being a party of four," the message posted Wednesday said, referring to Stefani's husband, fellow singer Gavin Rossdale, and their first son, 2.
The photo shows a bare-shouldered Stefani, 39, holding Zuma against her shoulder and was released after numerous paparazzi photos of the newborn have appeared recently. The photo, which can be published for free, would drastically sink the value of the paparazzi shots, the New York Daily News said.
The English actress Minnie Driver also posted a picture of her newborn son, Henry, who was born in September, on her MySpace page to discourage curious paparazzi.
Nicole Kidman and Halle Berry had also refused to sell photos of their first children, deals that are highly lucrative for entertainment stars.
