Manheim, the mom
NEW YORK -- Actress Camryn Manheim loves being a mother.
"It's the best thing I've ever done," she tells Us Weekly. "I've had all this love to give somebody, anybody. And now I have this little guy who accepts it, who takes my whole heart that is filled to the brim with love."
Manheim, 40, gave birth to Milo on March 6. She hasn't disclosed how she got pregnant or the identity of the father. "I'm a single mom -- 100 percent," says Manheim, one of the stars of ABC's "The Practice." She also stars in the ABC movie "Kiss My Act!" which airs Monday, a modern-day "Cyrano de Bergerac" set in a comedy club.
Manheim, an insomniac, has hired a nurse to help with nighttime feedings but says, "I really want to be a hands-on mom.
"We'll go to Gymboree and infant swim care and Mommy and Me classes."
