Actress Ali Larter almost didn't make it to the hospital in time for the birth of her first child last month (Dec10) after mudslides closed off her neighbourhood in Los Angeles.
The Heroes star recently gave birth to little Theodore Hayes MACArthur, her first child with her husband, writer/actor Hayes MACArthur.
She has now shown off her son in the new issue of Us Weekly magazine - but admits mudslides caused by heavy rain in California nearly stopped her reaching the hospital when she went into labour.
Larter says, "During the L.A. mudslides, our street was closed. Four hours after the fireman opened it, I was in labour!"
