“30 Rock’s” Elizabeth Banks is a brand-new mama this week after welcoming her son, Felix, via surrogate. “The one true hurdle I’ve faced in life is that I have a broken belly,” wrote the actress, who is married to Max Handelman. “After years of trying to get pregnant, exploring the range of fertility treatments, all unsuccessful, our journey led us to gestational surrogacy: We make a ‘baby cake’ and bake it in another woman’s ‘oven.’ ”

She’s one of Hollywood’s busiest actresses, but Banks says for now, “If you need me, I’ll be changing dirty diapers and trying to get some sleep.”  (Pascal Le Segretain / Getty Images)
