Keith and Nicole Adjust to Life with a Newborn
Originally posted 07/22/2008 12:15PM
Two weeks after the arrival of their daughter Sunday Rose, Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban have resumed their normal domestic routine.
But these days the pace is just a little more hectic.
What were once morning trips to the local Starbucks have now become coffee runs. Since the birth, Urban, 40, has been spotted rushing in to grab warm drinks and newspapers to go instead of sitting down at a quiet corner table to relax with his wife.
Still, the pair are getting back to business – with a twist. On Saturday, Urban played his first show as a dad in Philadelphia. Fans threw baby gifts (including a large stuffed Winnie the Pooh) onstage and waved signs welcoming Sunday Rose.
As Urban played his guitar while kneeling in front of the crowd, one concert-goer held up a pink baby gift. And Urban, unable to stop mid-solo, never missed a beat. He leaned over, still playing, and grabbed the package with his teeth. Then, he stood up and with a quick flick of his head, tossed the gift back toward the drums mid-stage.
"I have a whole new understanding of the term 'who's your daddy ' " Urban told the crowd.

What's in a name? For newborn Sunday Rose Kidman Urban, quite a bit.
The beautiful baby girl, who was born on July 7 in Nashville to parents Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban, is named after early 20th-century artist's muse Sunday Reed, PEOPLE has confirmed. Her middle name, Rose, is a nod to Urban's late grandmother Rose.
"I have read a bit about Sunday Reed and her husband John – she was a key mover and shaker in the arts around the beginning of the century," Kidman's father Antony told Australian newspaper The Daily Telegraph. "The name Sunday struck me as being a nice name for a woman, so my wife and I mentioned it."
