Actress Mena Suvari, who is known for portraying the character of Heather

Actress Mena Suvari, who is known for portraying the character of Heather in the "American Pie" franchise, welcomed her first born, a son named Christopher Alexander with husband Michael Hope in April. She says that becoming a mother was "wonderful and it's everything miraculous you can think of."

"But it's been challenging for me too because I personally never felt like I had that type of mother figure. So I don't know how to be that one, and I worry over it a lot. Also this is a big process for me in accepting that something so beautiful had happened for me," Suvari said,  The 42-year-old actress added: "It's like the universe's next challenge for me. It's now my biggest lesson because it's interesting when you experience a lot of trauma you can become very controlling because you can establish that behaviour to feel safe. Well, having a baby, all that control just goes right out the window."
