"It's the quickest way to shed the initial weight, and then you have to eat right", she added.

While the 47-year-old actress is zeroing in on her fifties, she admits to "feeling great" and gushed, "I never thought that at my stage in life another baby -- and a baby boy -- was coming to me, so yeah, I'm blessed."

"It's like one of her doll babies came alive. She gets to take care of him, feed him, change his diapers, play with him, dress him up in different clothes like five times a day because she can, so she loves it", she added.

However, the new-mum does admit it's been a challenge balancing work and family,"I'm trying to find the balance. My baby's always with me on the set. I bring my daughter after school. I have a nursery there and a playroom. I try to make it as nice as I can", she says.
