A beaming Drew Barrymore gives the world a peek at her 9 week old cutie, daughter Olive.

Barrymore, who just wed Olive’s father Will Kopelman in June, is all smiles on the cover of People as the first time mom talks about her nervousness just before giving birth.

“I couldn’t eat or sleep for two weeks, I was just so nervous!” she told the magazine.

Barrymore, who has had well documented troubles with her parents, is in awe of her husband’s family and how close-knit they are:

“I really wanted a wonderful traditional home for my kid,” Drew said. “Will comes from a strong family, he provides a strong family … It just makes me so emotional because it’s like a miracle.”

The Grey Gardens actress has also spilled the details on how the couple chose Olive’s name.

“I never would have guessed that would have been the name,” she explained on The Ellen DeGeneres Show last week. “But I was reading a book with my husband. I was three months pregnant and they said your baby is the size of an olive, and that was it. We never looked back!”
