Australian actress Naomi Watts admits she loves being a mom.

The actress, who gave birth to son Alexander Pete on July 25 in Los Angeles, is also keen on bringing her baby son home to Australia for Christmas.

Watts told Channel 7 that being a mother is a 'powerful thing' and that she feels 'weird' when Alexander is away from her.

"It's a very powerful thing, I'm still finding it just so bizarre that this little thing came out of me," News.co.au quoted Watts, as telling the Channel.

"He's just a joy, a complete joy, all those cliches are true.

"He just moves me every day. It's weird being away from him, I feel like a piece of my body is missing," she added.

The 38-year-old actress hopes to bring her baby to Australia soon.

"I hope to take him for Christmas to show the rellies," Watts said.
