Jodie Sweetin Talks About Motherhood

The former child star of Full House, Jodie Sweetin, talked with People.com about her new baby and motherhood.

Sweetin gave birth 7 weeks ago to her baby girl, Zoie. And the new mom describes the overwhelming feelings that came along with giving birth:

"You look at your baby and think, 'Wow, I did that.' It's really amazing.
I'm still like, 'Oh, wow, I'm a mom.' It's the most overwhelming,
exciting thing I've ever done."

But Sweetin, now 26, was not so blissfully happy just a few short years ago. At 22, the young actress turned college student, became addicted to the drug, crystal meth.

At the time, Sweetin was also married to LAPD police officer, Shaun Holguin. Sweetin managed to keep her drug addiction a secret from her husband, until 2005 when she was hospitalized after a night of too much partying.

Then life got better for Jodie. Successfully completing her rehab, Jodie became single again when she and Holguin divorced. In 2007, she met Cody Herpin, and the two had a whirlwind romance resulting in their marriage in two months after they first met.

Now with baby Zoie in their lives, Sweetin says, "It was a Blessing", referring to her pregnancy.
