Actress Anna Faris covers the March issue of Redbook in a bright Issa dress and Jimmy Choo heels. The Mom star, 38, opens up about family life with husband Chris Pratt and their 2 1/2-year-old son Jack.

On Jack’s premature birth: “My water broke in the middle of the night at seven months. We rushed to the hospital, and they were able to halt active labor with magnesium. I was at the hospital and the goal was to be in bed for four weeks…but on the seventh day, I went into labor again. I was in denial. For hours I was like, ‘I’m just having indigestion.’ Chris and I were so scared, but then Jack came out. Even though he was so tiny, he looked so good to us.”

On how Jack’s premature birth has changed their marriage: “It’s one of those things that drives you apart or makes you closer. I think that being a father is very meaningful and rewarding to Chris. He’s a great dad. He’s a little more serious than he was before. It forces your hand. You really have to become an adult.”

On being a working mom: “Motherhood is like a big sleeping bag of guilt.”

On her husband’s 65-pound weight loss: “I just remember being grumpy because there was no food in the house. I love to cook really fattening things like steak and pasta and potatoes. I bake banana bread. But it’s okay. I love Chris ripped and I love him a little rounder, too.”
