Mira Sorvino's Third Child a 'Miracle Baby'
Originally posted 07/13/2009 05:15PM
Mira Sorvino and husband Christopher Backus are parents to their third child, Holden Paul Terry Backus, following a difficult pregnancy and a long labor and delivery – complications the actress forgot almost immediately.
"As soon as they placed him in my arms I knew it had all been worth it," Sorvino, 41, says. "He is my miracle baby. With everything that threatened this pregnancy and both of our lives, he came out of it completely unscathed: perfectly healthy, beautiful and wonderful!"
Holden was born on June 22 in L.A. Weighing in at 8 lbs., 12 oz., he joins 4-year-old sister Mattea, and 3-year-old brother Johnny at home. "We are overjoyed to bring our beautiful healthy son home to his brother and sister," the couple said in a statement. "We are blessed to have a home filled with so much love."

"When we were doing the boat scene, we were supposed to be on the Turkish sea in a storm to end all storms," Sorvino, 41, told reporters at a Television Critics Association panel on Thursday. "A big wave came and washed my contacts out of my eyes, and a hook got caught, and it slams into my face and breaks five of my teeth. "
