Los Angeles, Nov 21 (IANS): Actress Anna Faris and husband Chris Pratt say that they were devasted when informed about the premature birth of their son. However their fath in god was restored when they saw the child.

The couple welcomed their first son Jack into the world in August 2012, nine weeks before the actual day. They were warned that challenging times are ahead because he was so early, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

“He was born at three pounds. And we were told, 'Okay, you need to be prepared for raising a special-needs child',” Faris said.

“It also felt like, you know, 'We can do this'," she added.

Now the couple are happy to know their little boy has no development problems aside from wearing glasses, and Pratt says his faith was "restored" in God following the experiences.

“It restored my faith in god, not that it needed to be restored, but it really redefined it. The baby was so beautiful to us, and I look back at the photos of him and it must have been jarring for other people to come in and see him, but to us he was so beautiful and perfect,” the actor said.
