Nicole Kidman has touched down in Australia with her 4-week-old daughter Sunday Rose, and the paparazzi are waiting for the first pictures, reportedly worth as much as $5 million. Pictures have surfaced on news sites, but they’re far away and the baby’s face is covered up so they surely can’t be worth that much. She could be carrying a baked ham in that shawl for all we know.

Nicole called a breakfast radio show this morning to speak about their visit. Try and imagine her positively flirting with the hosts, and you can listen to the full audio here.

“She looks like Keith. I think she does,” Kidman told the Kyle and Jackie O breakfast radio show on 2Day FM.

“She’s got a little bit of hair, it’s a bit of a reddish tint.”

Urban said being a new dad was an “awesome” feeling that only other dads could understand.

“Anybody out there who’s got kids (knows) it’s just a certain kind of feeling that you can only experience when you do it,” he said.

“She’s just awesome … cute little thing.

“I’m not looking forward to having to go on tour and having to leave.”

Nicole says her mother Janelle, who is a nurse and midwife, helped deliver the baby – all that speculation that her father, a psychologist, was going to deliver the baby when her mother is actually a midwife! She also says the birth was surprisingly easy, and strongly implies that it was a natural birth and not a c-section.

Nicole made the comments about her baby during an interview with breakfast radio, and she and husband Keith Urban asked that paprazzi please not scare their baby when taking photos.

“Keith and I are both appealing to the press and stuff just to give us a little space so we can walk around Sydney and show the baby our town,” Kidman said.

“She’s tiny. She’s like a doll, she’s like a little, little thing.

“Just (don’t photograph) right in her face or in our faces because it’s scary for her.”

Urban said he understood the media interest, but that people had to think about the effect it could have on their little girl.

“I get it. I get the interest there is,” he said.

“But at the same time it’s our little girl.

“Sometimes when people come right up in your face and you think: ‘Good God, would you do that to anybody else’s child?’ That’s all.”

In the audio Nicole doesn’t say ‘She’s like a doll’, as is quoted above but actually says ‘She’s not a doll’.

The couple used decoy cars to get to their Darling Point home –I’m not sure why Nicole just doesn’t let them get the money shot, since I think they would back off significantly after that happened. Perhaps because it was dark and she was worried about camera flashes? I have a theory that the baby is just not that cute yet. Sometimes those ginger babies look a bit odd at first, but they grow up so pretty after a few weeks. I guess even celebrities are nervous about displaying their offspring for the world to judge.

Keith Urban confirms they will not be selling the baby pictures. He also told the radio show that ‘We’re stoked, she’s awesome.’ Nicole adds that Sunday Rose is feeding every three hours, which probably means that Nicole is breastfeeding as formula fed babies tend to eat less often.

Nicole and Keith are in Australia to visit her father and Keith’s parents who haven’t met Sunday Rose, although Keith was born in New Zealand, I think most of his family live in Australia now. Nicole will be finishing off her film Australia at a Sydney Studio location.
