Sienna Miller was instantly "overwhelmed" by how "normal" things felt when she gave birth to her first child.
The actress adores being a mother to Marlowe, now two-years-old, and says that when the girl was born she realised what was missing from her life.
Speaking to Vogue magazine she explained: "I was overwhelmed by how normal it felt. It was like, 'There you are -- that's what I have been missing.' Like we're both in on something only we know. An amazing sense of being complicit with a little being."
Having been in a relationship with Tom Sturridge for three years, the beauty insists that one thing she loves about their lives is that there's no "drama".
"Tom is a grounded, intelligent, kind, and intact person. That's amazing to be around. That's the father of my child. There's no drama."
Claiming the three live a "normal" life, she's adamant that this doesn't mean their day-to-day domesticity is boring.
"It's very normal, very kind of still.
"We go to the country. I like to cook and go to Whole Foods. I have a [Newfoundland[ dog - not a dog but a bear - who when I walk pulls me over flat on my face into the mud.
"My baby pukes on me. It's life. It's very much a normal life.
"I really don't want to sound boring. It's completely crazy and illicit behind closed doors."
She also says that she and Tom inspire one another and push each other to do better in their careers.
"As much as he helps my work, I help him. We're both completely supportive of that need for creative output. At the moment, we're just both trying to blast it, to get to a really great place."
