"The Mystery of Motherhood"; Kellie Martin....

Remember Lucy? It's kellie Martin! This is from Last weeks TV GUIDE. I almost missed this because in the picture she has dark hair..lol. anyway here is the article. enjoy. ^_^


Perched in an oversized white chair in her airy living room, Kellie Martin cups a hand over her rounded tummy. "I love waking up every morning. Momentatily I forget I'm pregnant." she says. "Then I remember and get happy all over again." Other positive side effects of her baby bump: more peanut butter and less road rage. (down from six honks per day to almost none.)

Whether Martin,30, is expecting a Maddox or Suri, this mom's keeping mum. She grew up in front of the camera, and she and husband Keith, a lawyer, are savoring a little privacy. Her teen years as Becca on Life goes On weren't easy. "It gets scary for a child actor," She says. "You start being aware of how you look, your body, what people think of you."

Audiences can get a sneak preview of Martin's baby skills before her october due date, when the Hallmark Channel airs the latest movie in the Mystery Women series. She plays Samantha Kinsey, a crime-solving bookshop owner, and in this installment, single Sam gets stuck caring for the infant son of a murder suspect. On set, she had fun bonding with her tiny costars (the role was shared by triplets/) "Holding those little boys was a blast," she says. "I was sad to go home at the end of the day."

As much as she's happily anticipating motherhood, deciding to get pregnant wasn't easy for Martin. In 1998, her younger sister Heather, died of Lupus, an autoimmune disease in which the body makes antibodies against its own tissue. The triggers are unknown, no cure exists and a family history means increased risk. Initially, Martin was afraid she might develop lupus-or pass on the danger to her child. But her doctor said it was OK to try for a baby.The actress, who is now the spokesperson for the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association (AARDA.org) says softly, "Since I've been pregnant, I've felt heather with me."

Virgina Ladd, president of AARDA appreciates the actress' involvment. "She's lobboed on Capitol Hill and spoken at the U.N." she says. "Kellie really makes a contribution. We love her."

So what does Martin (who plans to have more children.) want for her own kids? She and Keithpicture an eventual move to Montana, where he grew up and the couple own property. "I want them to be free and unafraid of things." She says. With Martin as theit mom, it's a trait that will no doubt come natturally- Kate Habn

ER'S KELLIE MARTIN EXPECTING CHILD
By: Kristina Kukolic
Published: August 18, 2006


Actress Kellie Martin and her husband, Keith Christian, are expecting their first child due in October.

Although she is excited for her new bundle of joy, she is not prepared.

"I never even babysat. The only time I've changed a diaper is when my friend, who just had a baby, called and said, 'Come over, you need to practice,” confesses Martin, reports People.

That all changed when she got some hands on experience on the set of "Mystery Movies," when her character Samantha Kinsey takes care of a suspect’s child. The child was played by 6-month-old triplet boys.

"I looked at the mother, who was taking care of these three little babies, and I thought, 'I can't imagine how demanding that must be. I'm just going to get one. Yeah, I can do this!'" says Martin.

Martin, 30, starred in the series "Life Goes On" and "ER."

I actually saw that episode, the one with the baby, my sister loves her new show. It's nice to see she still has that spark from her ER days- some may call it sass. lol. I've always loved Kellie Martin, she is a great actress. Best wished to her with the baby.

Picture of Kellie with her friend Melissa Joan Hart. Kellie's first child, rumored to be a girl, was supposedly due last Monday.

UPDATE:

Actress Kellie Martin, 31, and her husband Keith Christian welcomed their first child, a daughter, on Saturday at 12:21 pm. Margaret Heather weighed in at 8 lbs and was 21 inches long. Kellie and Keith are calling her 'Maggie,' and both are doing very well, says a rep. Maggie arrived almost two weeks past her due date!

The middle name is in honor of Kellie's sister, who died of lupus in 1998.
