Actress Christina Applegate debuts her beautiful baby daughter, Sadie Grace, on the cover of the upcoming issue of People Magazine. The 39 year-old actress, who beat breast cancer after a double mastectomy, and her fiancé Martyn LeNoble, are totally in love with their bundle of joy.

“I felt my heart literally open up for the first time and like wrap itself around her. It was profound,” Christina tells People in this week’s cover story. “And I’m more in love with her every minute of the day.”

“I want to be the ultimate burper and diaper-changer, I want to be the ultimate at all of it,” she says. “Sometimes I stand there going, ‘I’m not doing any of this right!’ And then I get this big man belch out of her and I go, ‘Ah, we accomplished this together.’ “

Christina claims Sadie has completely changed her life. After spending a lot of time talking about what she went through when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, the actress is grateful to be able to give her life got a new meaning.

“I’ve had to talk about that word [cancer] more than I’ve ever had to talk about a word in my life,” she says. “After a while you’re like, ‘There’s got to be something else to me.’ ”

“Yeah, now I’m Mom. She’s healed me in so many ways,” says the actress. “She’s just made my life so much better. She’s opened my whole soul.”

Congratulations to Christina for miracle baby Sadie!
